Friday’s Food
Journal February 8th, 2008So today was not a great day, but it wasn’t bad day either. It could be, but I am forcing myself not to blow it. I ended up going to Olive Garden for lunch with some co-workers. I looked up their nutritional info online before I went and found something with fairly “low” points. Then I went and worked at the “Fun Food” booth at a PTA Carnival. I was in charge of popcorn, which was NOT fun. And let me tell you, I will NEVER NEVER NEVER eat popcorn again from a vendor. I knew it was bad, but after having to make it, EW!!! That butter/oil/orange/whateverthehell it is that you have to melt is just gross. And ask I said in my post below, I am CRAVING pizza. SO, here is the breakdown of points for today:
- 1 fat free tortilla - 1pt
- 1/4 C fat free refried beans - 1pt
- 1 fat free tortilla w/ salsa - 1pt
- Olive Garden salad with low fat dressing - 2pts
- Olive Garden Capallini Pomadora - 8pts
- (1) Olive Garden Breadstick - 3pts
- 2 cookies -?
- 1 C Progresso Southwest Style soup - 0pts
- 1 fat free tortilla with salsa - 1 pt (yes, okay, I’m addicted)
- 1 Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwhich - 9 or 10 maybe? It wasn’t reduced fat PB nor did I portion it out
Okay, so now that I’ve written it down, it doesn’t look too bad. Oh wait, there were those 3 chick-fil-a chicken nuggets I ate - forgot about those. I also have 2 cookies staring at me and I still want a bloody pizza!!!

Next time why not try a fat free tortilla with the salsa and just a sprinkle of cheese on it. Pop the whole thing in a toaster oven (or oven) at about 350 until the edges crisp up. I’m not up on points, but depending on your tortilla and how much cheese it’s about 150 cals total.
