March 11, 2010 - Day 66

I've decided that I'm going to stop calculating WW points and calories. Well, I'll probably still put the calories down if I know them, but I'm not going to go out of my way to calculate the calories for casseroles and the like. The point of stopping now is that I want to see how I do while I'm still weighing myself pretty regularly. Since I don't want to be calculating points for the rest of my life, I want to see if I can maintain making smart choices without the push of calculating the points. If it doesn't work (i.e. I start gaining weight), then I'll go back to the tracking them. But for now, I'm done. :)

January 23, 2010 - Day 20

Yikes! Cam and I decided to go out to lunch with Riley after our errands about town. This ended up being Red Robin. I thought to myself, "Okay, try to get something healthy." This, I thought, would be the salmon burger. Nope. I was wrong. Even after I ate only 1/2 the bun, I still ended up with 15 points for the meal. Stupid di'jon sauce that came on it! And then I ate too much for dinner. Oh well... it's the weekend, right, so that's allowed? :S

For breakfast

1/2 cup of coffee w/vanilla creamer (35 calories; 1 point)

* Without the sauce, I would have only been looking at 9 points... still not great, yeah, but so much better!

For dinner

1 serving of (leftover) tortellini w/prosciutto and peas in a cream sauce (520 calories; 11 points)

Does weeding the back lot count? My legs hurt after crouching down for a long while...
