Saturday 4-21-12

Here we go again with the day late post!  Yesterday was interesting.  My daughter had another rough night Friday and as a result I ended up sleeping in til past 11:30 a.m. yesterday.  It threw me off.  We ended up having brunch instead of breakfast.  My parents babysat for us.  We were excited to go do something active in the sunshine instead of our usual dinner/hot tub date, but the weather ended up being bad (by our spoiled SoCal standards) and a we got a late start.  I won't even go into all of the little issues we encountered yesterday;  Murphy's Law was definitely in play. Long story short, we ended up at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants and some alcohol, and then we went home and hot tubbed afterward. It was well deserved.  I was nervous about the Mexican restaurant but I handled it better than expected by keeping count of my chips, having only one drink (wine instead of my usual sugary margarita) and by ordering a healthy appetizer for my meal with just a side of beans.  It was still a lot of points but not as much as usual.  I still have weekly points leftover for today if I want them and I haven't even touched my activity points.

I had intended to blog last night but I didn't anticipate the night our 3 year old put us through.  After we picked the kids up from my parents our 3 year old son said he wanted to go to Disneyland, and when we told him we couldn't he quickly became an inconsolable, hysterical mess.  He carried on like this for over an hour leaving hubby and I exhausted. I have created a Disney loving monster.  Ay yay yay.  After that I just wanted to eat something and go to bed, and that's what I did.  This is what I ate yesterday:

Brunch (9 pts)
1 1/2 servings individual (aka, muffin tin) asparagus, mushroom and parmesan frittata, 2 slices of center cut bacon, a delicious medley of sliced organic strawberries and organic blueberries and my usual organic skim milk/fat free hazelnut lattes.

Snack (2 pts)
1 tsp natural peanut butter, a light string cheese and a small banana

Linner at Anita's Mexican Restaurant (25 pts-ish...I think it's an overestimation but better to be safe than sorry!)
16 tortilla chips with salsa, approx 1 1/2 c. ceviche with 4 small slices of avocado, 1/2 c. refried beans with a touch of cheese, 3 corn tortillas and one glass of white zinfandel.  I had trouble guessing how much wine was in the glass because of its odd shape, so to be safe I called it 9 fl oz in my WW tracker. Who knows?!

Late night snack (11 pts...yikes)
Burrito made with a low carb flour tortilla, 1/3 c. leftover refried beans, shredded Tequila-Lime chicken, reduced fat pepper jack cheese and homemade salsa

I'm sure it's an overestimation (restaurant eating can be tricky) but if it's anywhere close I ate about 46 points yesterday, 13 of them being weekly points! Pretty crazy.  I plan to behave myself today since my first back-on-track weigh in is first thing tomorrow morning.  Well, thanks for reading.  I will be back tonight with an update on today. Until then...
