So, we were supposed to go to a burger joint, and I had been prepared to have a half-hamburger - but we ended up at Chili's when the original place was packed. We split the chips, spinach and artichoke dip, boneless buffalo wings, regular buffalo wings, fried cheese sticks, and southwestern egg rolls. Unfortunately I kept on snacking on the chips through the night, but in general I was trying to be moderate. (e.g., 1 buffalo wing, 1 boneless wing, 1 mozzarella stick, 1 southwestern roll). Imagine my dismay when I calculated the points and it came out to 52! I knew I was pretty hungry when I headed out. I really should've had a piece of fruit before I left.
I think the thing to do is to remain positive. I'll try to pick up where I left off, and come in under my daily allowance. So over 3 days I should've taken 26*3 = 78 points, and with this little detour, I'm at 91. Not a total disaster; I basically have to make up 13 points which means I just need to come under 3 or 4 points per day for the next four days. It's hard because I have dinner and lunches out planned with my friends -- wish me luck! Will keep you posted.
I am posting a picture of the app that I deem my biggest mistake -- clocking in at 44 points is the Spinach Artichoke Dip! Dude, and that is 44 points without the delivery vehicle (bottomless chips).
44 pts! What do they put in that dip?
