Wednesday's Food Journal

I was planning to make taco's (taco-salad for me) using ground turkey for dinner tonight, but the power went out in mid-preparation. I was so bummed. I had even made homemade salsa to go with it. So... we went to my in-law's for dinner. I had a chicken salad with some oh so yummy Creamy Pesto dressing from the Old Spaghetti Factory. My mother-in-law cracks me up... "I follow WW for the most part, but there are just some things I wont deny myself... and one of those things is good dressing". I happily went along and indulged with her. After-all, I'd eaten pretty darn light today, so what's a little cheat or two every once in a while. I looked up the nutrition facts for the dressing once I got home and wowza.. 9 points for 6 tablespoons! I'll admit, 6 tablespoons was probably way too much, but if you've ever had this dressing, you know exactly why I HAD to have so much. When I imputed my points in my little chart/journal thingy tonight, I was surprised that my dinner was exactly as many points as I had left. Awesome!

I found some chips at the supermarket today called "Guiltless Gourmet Blue Corn Chips. So after we got home, I couldn't resist eating some fresh salsa with 18 chips. Yes, that's exactly how many chips I can have for 2 points. I don't feel guilty about it one bit either!


I didn't have any Vitatops today, but I learned something new tonight that I'm excited to share. These yummy little snacks are only 1 point. I've been counting them as 2 points all along. Now I can eat two :) Isn't that exciting!?!
