ARGH
OK, considering I screwed up big time last night, I'm OK with my loss of 0.5 pounds this week. I had been hopeful that I had made up for my Sunday ice cream-fest with all my exercise this week and good point behavior. . . .until last night.
I went to a step aerobics class and then picked up Nick to grab a quick bite to eat before going up to my house together (Nick lives downtown and we both work downtown and I live in a suburb about 35 minutes north of downtown, so we carpool when he stays over during the week.) We went to Noodles & Company, which I love love love. Well, since I was starving, I got a regular sized Penne Rosa (substituting whole grain linguine for the normal penne pasta) with shrimp and extra spinach. I thought I was doing a decent job, even though I knew I probably should get a small. But I had just excercised! So today, I log on today to look at the nutritional info, and CRAP CRAP CRAP - my meal last night was 20 freakin' points!!!! I had no idea it would have been that bad - CRAP CRAP CRAP. And naturally, I had another chocolate VitaTop last night after dinner because EVEN CRAPPY CHOCOLATE IS CHOCOLATE. So my dinner and late night snack was 21 points last night. As a point of reference, I get 23 WW points A DAY. CRAP.
So I'm grateful that I lost a half a pound this week, even with two major misses (Sunday night and last night).
So yeah, for those out there who like Noodles & Company as much as me, order these instead:
Trio: Small Japanese Pan Noodles with Shrimp and Tossed Green Salad with Fat Free Asian Dressign - 8 WW points
Trio: Small Bangkok Curry with Shrimp and Tossed Green Salad with Fat Free Asian Dressing - 7 WW points
ARGH - I'm so mad that I ordered a 20 point entree instead of a 7!
So anyway, challenges I face this weekend:
1. Eating with Nick. Always a challenge to do portion control. Especially when he eats like a wildbeast and still stays a slim 150. Um yeah, have I mentioned that my boyfriend is 5'10'' and weighs around 150? He has no idea that I weigh a good 15 pounds more than him. Nor will he ever.
2. I'm going to a get drinks with Nick's parents tomorrow night. Will need to reserve 4 points tomorrow so that I can have 2 glasses of wine or 2 beers. NO MORE.
3. SATURDAY NIGHT. We're going to a Butler University basketball game at 5 PM, and going out afterwards. I may just tell him that I want to drive, and that way I can keep my beers to a minimum. I'm not that excited to go out at all to be honest, since I don't want to feel pressured to drink (not my Nick, but possibly by his friends) but I really really really want to lose weight. I also don't want to drink in a ton of points, and then feel like POOP the next day.
I'm hoping that I can lose see a bigger loss next week, like a pound or more. None of this half pound or maintain stuff. I want to see a real loss! I've been working out like a fiend - I deserve it!
Ok, back to work.
