I was doing so well.   Then Valentine’s Day came around and screwed it all up.  I can’t really blame the day.  I mean, I’m the one that put the food in my mouth.  I could have stopped.  It didn’t start out that bad…

  • Amy’s Breakfast Burrito -5pts
  • Balsamic Eggplant Parmesan - 6pts (2 servings)
  • Salad w/ grape tomatoes and Basalmic Vinagrette Spritzer - 1pt

See, it doesn’t look to bad.   Of course this is before it went downhill.   My cubemate had recieved a chocolate chip cookie cake today from another co-worker.  I resisted it all day until about 2:00pm.   Then I had 3 peices of it.  They weren’t really big, and that alone wouldn’t really have hurt me.  But let’s keep going, shall we.   This same cubemate of mine (who knows I’m on a diet and has had her own challenges with weight loss) made chocolate covered strawberries.  I ate one.   After all, it’s a strawberry.  Can’t hurt me.   Still doing okay….

Fast forward to tonight.  I have severe cramps, my husband has to do overnight work, and neither one of us felt like cooking or cleaning.  I was prepared to cook though.  I was going to make a fritatta - only 3 points.  I don’t like eggs though and the proposition of going out was looking good.  I took the bait.   We went to Tijuana Flats and I had black bean nachos.  YUMMY!!  That blew my diet out of the water for today.  I had all of my 35 flex points still for the week, so I am okay.  I will go back on track tomorrow.
