I follow weight watchers for those of you who dont know- and I planned ahead to eat my favorite meal all week. I had 13 daily points lefts (after breakfast & lunch) and 26 weekly points remaining. My problem with this meal is knowing just how many points it is. I have NO idea how to add it up. Anyway I told myself I was going to eat 1/2, no bread (which is to die for delicious), no clam chowder soup (also to die for) and no potatoes or rice- order double veggie. I obeyed, I ate, I enjoyed. Then I just crossed off the rest of the daily and weekly points that I was allowed. I do it this way not because I thought my dinner was 39 points but I know no other way to figure out the food I ate and today (Monday) is the day before weigh in and I usually lay low as far as splurging goes. Anyway, how do any of you- who follow WW- count your meals out that are difficult to decipher??
So the hot weather yesterday turned into a challenge. We started off about 35 miles from my parents house at the airport. It was 90 degrees when we got in the car. I bet that it was going to be 107 when we got to their house...my Aunt said 108, and Sean bet 106. I WON... 107 it was! Nice and toasty huh? lol Hoping today is a little cooler...thank GOD for air conditioners! :)
Off to get some groceries today and try to stay cool. Hope everyone is having a good day! :)
It's freezing here today! I have goosebumps!
ReplyDeleteI find figuring meal out points to be difficult at best. I used to be so anal I'd not eat out. If I didn't know the exact points, I wouldn't go. I got over that. I'll estimate now. What's really driving me batty is McDonald's chocolate dipped ice cream cones. They're awesome. I know the naked cone is 3 points...I have NO idea how many points the chocolate is. I've written Mickey D's, but so far no asnwer. The DQ dipped cone has 3 points more than their regular cone, so that's how I'm counting it for now.
Sorry...got off on a tangent there!
PS:Send me some heat!
awesome pics what is a that steak exactly?
ReplyDeleteGood plan...good plan indeed. I have the same problem when I go out to eat. I sometimes have no idea how to count points. You live and you learn.
ReplyDelete107? Egad man, I'd die.
ReplyDeleteI'll say it again, Sean is hotttttt! To quote Adam Sandler, "Soooo hot, want to touch the heinie." But I totally wouldn't, because you'd throw a bocce ball at my head I bet. Can't wait til Maksim's show starts!
For restaurant meals where nutritional info is not available, I'll generally do what you did. If I can roughly figure it out based on the components, I then add extra points just in case.
ReplyDeleteI always guess on points then throw in a few for good measure...lol. Is that steak or chicken? It looks like some gravy goodness...mmmmmmmm.
