The whole family on Mike's side (8 of us) went to Safeco Feild to see the Mariners. The Mariners won to the Reds by one point. Good for them because they've been sucking. It was mixed emotions here in Seattle because Griffey hit a couple homeruns for the Reds and Seattle couldn't help but cheer. haha It's funny because the only two points scored for his team were the homeruns that he hit.
I am so proud of myself thus far this week. On Saturday we went to a coach-pitch little kiddie baseball game and then went out to Thai food. I got half a plate of pad thai with tofu. Today at the Mariners game I ate a FiberOne chewy bar and 6 shelled peanuts. Go my team!!! I will still have 26 flex points left tomorrow!
I was frustrated at the Mariners game, though. I wanted to get one junky food item and couldn't make up my mind. I didn't get anything because I just couldn't think of anything I wanted that was worth the points.
Everyone else around me were eating burgers, garlic fries, personal pizzas and beer. It made me really upset that everyone else got to eat like crap and I didn't. It really put a damper on my mood for the entire game! Isn't that sad? It is so hard to control the emotions that go with me not getting my way in regards to food. I was so angry and jealous of all those other people. Mike brought up a really good point afterwards. He said I am paying for last week's gain right now. I am trying to lose weight unlike most of those other people at the game.
In the end I am damn proud of myself anyway.

Good for you...
... and for him too! What a sweetie to stand up for you that way!! Keep that guy around!!
I know how frustrating it can be when you go to an event and you can't decide what to eat. Sometimes my hubby is sweet to split a snack with me so I wouldn't dig into eating too much junk food. I alway try to pack healthy snacks with me and one treat for myself like a york candy. Plan ahead! I know you had a chewy bar and peanuts. You could pack more snacks like apples and oranges, Those things will fill you up quickly and then those junk food won't seem so appealing. I know it's hard but you did great by resisting and if you really want a piece, try splitting with your sweetie.
Proud of yourself, that is! I went to a MN Twins game recently and about the only thing I could think to eat was a bag of peanuts, and even then... There just isn't anything good to eat at the ballpark.
i totally agree in that there are times i feel like everyone else gets to eat all this junky stuff and i feel left out, but then i think - well, maybe they don't eat like that all the time and (on top of the fact that) they aren't trying to lose weight, everyone else has a different body/metabolism.
anyway, i'm proud of you for not giving in. and if you couldn't decide what it was that you wanted, it probably means there wasn't anything you really wanted anyway! =) save those pts for something better!
ps- i spied a mint-chocolate chip sundae smart ones at walmart yesterday and was going to get it, but when i came back they were all out! maybe that was a sign...
My daughter eats all she wants and doesn't gain an ounce. It helps me having the 1 free day. That way I feel like I can have the junk food or whatever at least once per week. The rest of the week I try and do much better, not always but most of the time.. :-) I am so proud of you though, way to go!!!
