We went to a harvest party at my grandpa's retirement center yesterday and it got over after 5 pm. The kids needed to eat and the last thing I wanted to do when we got home was think about what to cook for dinner. So, we went through the drive-thru at McDonald's for the old chicken nugget and french fry stand by. There is not anything on the McD's menu that I want to waste points on, so I decided to wait until we got home and eat a Lean Cuisine. But then I saw it, a Sugar Free Vanilla flavor for the Iced Coffee. I immediately started craving coffee and while I still knew it would be a lot of points, that was something worth spending them on. Lisa, my WW leader always says "don't drink your points because it will not satisfy you like eating them", but when you're a busy mom with three little kids, sometimes drinking them is all there is time for. So, I decided on a medium size iced coffee. I figured it would do less damage than a large. It was so yummy and so creamy that I knew I was in big trouble. Once we got home and I got the kids set up at the table eating, I looked up the nutrition facts for McDonald's. YAY!!! A medium sized sugar free vanilla iced coffee is only 2 points. And a large, only 3 points. I was in McDonald's heaven (if there is such a place). I really lucked out this time, but I better be careful because next time, I might not be so lucky.
