Lifeisgood_5's Lessons from the web

Yesterday I was sharing online information with my good friend Margene who will start Weight Watchers on 2/19.  I was sending her my favorite links - including extrapounds.com of course!

I went to Dotti's page (www.dwlz.com/)  and was looking at some of my favorite resturaunts just to see what I can eat there.  Some were inspiring, but of course, my favorite places were absolutely out of my plan.

For example, I love Eric's Deli Cafe here in CA.  It's a local favorite founded just a few miles from here in Santa Cruz.  My very favorite sandwich is the "Natural High," which is a wheat pita filled with nuts, veggies, cheese and avocado with Eric's secret sauce.  I almost threw up when I read this:Natural High (900 cal/76 g fat/8 g fiber/27 g carbs) 23 (24)

24 points??!!  24 Points??!!  OMG it's 24 points!!!

All this time I thought I was being good and eating healthy.  24 points is almost my entire daily allowance.  I could eat a half of one for 12 points but still....24 points?!

I promptly went home and ate a bowl of my roommate's 1pt chili and sulked.  Until she brought me a dish of SF Jello with Cool Whip Free on top.  That made me feel much better.

I did also see my accupuncturist last night.  She was running behind so I got an extra 20 minutes of rest time on the table while I waited for her.  Who knew I needed that kind of quiet time to just listen to music with my eyes closed.  I tell you it is the best treat I give myself every month - getting to that appt and being nurtured. 

Back to work for me.  Have a great and healthy day everyone!

Accupuncturist

What do you see an accupuncturist for?  Weight loss, stress reduction, a combination of both?  lol  Does it work?  Does it hurt?  I've been thinking about it myself.

And I know how you feel about your pocket.  I found out a super yummy salad at Quizno's was pretty much all I could have for the day if I wanted it.  I thought I was being good too...hate when that happens.

DWLZ

I had the exact same reaction you did when I started browsing DWLZ!!  I guess we need to keep in mind that most places give much more than one serving on one plate, so if you don't eat the whole thing, you don't consume as many points!!
