Not a good day, food wise

David took me out to a surprise lunch at Red Robin. I had the BLTA (bacon, lettuce, tomato and avacado) croissant with some fries. How bad could it be huh? Well 30 points later - for one stinkin' meal - I've had to dip into my weekly points in a big way for today because I didn't want to forgo dinner completely. I got in that mindset of "well, **** it, I've already messed up, why bother to be careful about dinner". Arghhhh! I caught myself though before I did too much damage. I ended up using about a day and half of points in one day and only have 19 weekly points left! Crikey!


I'm going to take a deep breath and remind myself that tomorrow is a new day and I can do this. I just have to focus on power foods for the next 4 days. I can do that. I'll have to go to the grocery store tomorrow to pick up some salad stuff and more fruit. I'll check the power foods list and choose some more items that are 0 or low PPV's to get me through the next 4 days. I know I get my daily points again each day and I'll use them but since I won't be able to work out until Monday because of the injection I'm getting tomorrow in my knee, I need to be careful to not dip into the weekly points too much.


I told David that there are no more surprise meals. Especially not at Red Robin! I need to plan ahead and check PPV's BEFORE I order something. I don't have a smart phone and Red Robin wasn't in the book so I just chose what sounded good. BIG MISTAKE! One I won't make again. When I did take time to find the nutrition values online I almost lost my mind. David's meal (with a burger, fries and a drink) was almost 40 points for one meal. Totally ridiculous. No wonder I weigh 282 pounds. We were eating like that all the time before WW.


I'm so glad that I found WW and that I can recover from this mistake. I have 4 days until weigh in and will do everything I can to right this ship that went off course for a day. I know it's our anniversary but it wasn't worth the points I had to use to celebrate this way. This is exactly the wake up call I needed before the holidays get here.


Okay, from this point forward I'm back on track and what happened is in the past and I can't change it. All I can do is make better choices going forward and that's what I plan on doing. I consider myself smacked in the head. LOL
