  • Not my best day, pointwise at least, but I had to celebrate my son's 16th birthday, right? Thank God for activity and banked points.

    We took Arthur out to a Japanese restaurant, which ended up being pretty good for me. I ate a lot of the points I spent. If it wasn't for dessert (I actually made a better choice than I could have; my DH was pushing the fried ice cream but I opted for green tea ice cream instead and only had one of the two scoops) and of course the birthday cake (I just took a sliver, or so I thought but when I weighed it and looked it up it came to a whopping 7 points, which was over double what I anticipated) I would have hardly gone over my points. Oh, well. I'm back on track today. We are going to the mall and eating out lunch but I'm going to opt for a very on-program veggie burger.

    Well, here is what I ate:

    Morning:
    rice cakes with soy butter 3

    Midday:
    rice 2
    bean salad 3
    salsa 0
    soy cheese 1
    2 pt bar 2
    blueberries 1

    Evening:
    seaweed salad 2
    miso soup 2
    fried bean curd appetizer 3
    edamame 2
    steamed vegetables with tofu 2
    3 pieces of sushi 2
    green tea ice cream 3
    green tea
    chocolate cake 7

    Total: 35
