Worth it :)
So I have to say, spending 15 points on the chicken cheesesteak Friday night was TOTALLY worth it. I savored every single bite ;) With that said, maybe next time I'll have half a sandwich with a nice healthy salad to balance it out.
I've had a nice weekend so far. Last night hubby came home and took me out to eat at Applebee's. I got the Quesadilla Burger and only ate half of it and half the fries. Since I slept through breakfast and had a Lean Cuisine sandwich for lunch, I was within my points for the day. I'm really learning how to balance the foods I love with healthier choices during the day. That's a huge step for me!! I realize that I can't have chicken cheesesteak and burgers on a regular basis, even if they do fit within my points. But it's nice to know I can do it sporadically and not feel guilty about it.
For my friends that don't know what a chicken cheesesteak is....it's a lovely mess of thinly sliced white meat chicken kind of "beat up" on the grill - almost ends up looking like scrambled eggs but with meat if that makes sense. Then that is put on a french bread type roll with a few slices of cheese - I prefer american cheese. Some people use provolone, while others use cheese whiz. Here's a pic for you to enjoy...scrumptious....some people put peppers or fried onions...I prefer mine simple.
