I got up early again yesterday morning to go weigh in at 6:15. I didn't want to go that early because Bo and Ty had kept me up much of the night, but I had the "Biggest Loser" trophy that I had to return. Anyway, I was only down 2.6 lbs, but at least it's a loss and not a gain. I don't know why I was expecting more... my scale at home said the same thing. I guess after my big 10.8 lb loss the week before, I was hoping for another fantastic week.
It turns out, it was a good thing that I got up so early because I was able to go grocery shopping right after the meeting and still get home before anyone was up. We had plans to spend the day pumpkin patch hopping, so I'm glad I got everything taken care of in the morning. Spending the day away from home made it hard to follow plan. I did pack healthy snacks and water bottles and brought along my tracker and eating out guide though. So, for the most part, i was able to stick to it.
Dinner time was a little harder though. We went to Chang's Mongolian Grill (a stir-fry wok bar) and I indulged a little. I was tired and hungry and for the life of me couldn't think of anything healthy I could eat there, so I just thought 'forget it' and ate my normal plate. Chicken, shrimp, onions, noodles and lots of ginger sauce and sesame oil. It wasn't until I was almost done with my plate that I realized I could have just had a big plate of stir-fried veggies with no oil and it would have satisfied and filled me up. Going out to eat and trying to make decisions while overcome with tiredness and hunger is not a good idea.
I still had 18 points left for dinner and my extra weekly 35. I didn't bother to add up all the points for what I ate, but now that I'm thinking about it, I think I will right now so I can be aware of how many points I actually ate.
Soba Noodles (2-3 cups) : 6
Chicken (1 cup) : 8
Shrimp (2 cups) : 4
Sesame Oil (3 tbsp) : 12
Ginger Sauce (3 tbsp) : 3
Onion (1 cup) : 0
Hot & Sour Soup (1 cup) : 2
Total points for dinner : 35
So, it's pretty bad, but it didn't use all my extra points for the week. I still have 17 left. Honestly though, I usually never even touch my extra 35. But I guess that's what they're here for. Oh, but I did have 1 cup of Baskin & Robbins peppermint ice-cream at 14 points a cup, so I only have 4 extra points left for the week.
I think that having an extra 35 points a week is crap. It just makes you want to overeat knowing that they are there.
NO MORE EXTRA 35 POINTS! THEY DO NOT EXIST!
