30 point Thursday

Well earlier this week I posted to my blog I was starting weight watchers to help get rid of some extra pounds. I figured out my daily points allowed and it's 29. When I heard that I thought wow no problem! This week I have had no trouble staying at or below that number, but Thursdays are always a challenge for me because it is my day off. Usually it starts my week end back slide. I made an effort this morning to make this day a little different. Instead of rushing out this morning I took the time to get a cool 7 point breakfast in my belly. My mom and I made a trip to the Tanger Outlets over in Sevierville for a little shopping. I got the cutest new Coach purse from the outlet store and it was a fantastic price too! I got the baby stocked up with some winter clothes from Carter's and then we started to head home. We stopped at one of my favorite little home town restaurants in Townsend called Miss. Lily's cafe. I never miss an opportunity to stop in. They have THE BEST homemade Hello Dolly cookies. Simmer down Beavis...I didn't do anything rash. I calculated my points for what I ate at lunch when I got home. WOW how that 29  points seems so small. It was a 15 point lunch. I had a chicken Waldorf salad sandwich, a few Hawaiian kettle chips and a side of coleslaw. I've been averaging about 10-11 points at lunch. So you figure the math 7 + 15 = 22. That leaves a whopping 7 points for dinner. Ahhhh and then there is Applebees. They actually have WW item on the menu that are pretty tasty. Garlic Heb chicken, steamed potatoes and broccoli, to the tune of 7 ity bity little points! Whoo Hooo, I made it. Ok Ok I did get home and have a sweet craving so I had a Edy's fruit juice bar for 1 point. That still only puts me at 30 points total. I'm ok with that. Hopefully I will see some progress at weigh in next week. If not I will keep going. I'm going to start adding in some exercise next week to speed the process along. Oh BTW, I HATE HATE HATE exercise. Unfortunately it is a necessary EVIL. Well it's late and 5 am comes really early. This is still not easy, but it's definitely worth it.
