Thursday

So I wanted to use my points more wisely today and I guess that happened, but I don't feel happy about it. I feel like I ate "bad". I had oatmeal for breakfast - 4points. Then I had a glass of chocolate milk for a mid-morning snack. Very satisfying - 6 points. Lunch was a roast beef sandwich - 6 points. I didn't feel like cooking dinner, so we went to Bob Evans. Luckily, this restaurant is in my dining out guide, so I didn't do too bad, but I ended up wishing I had just cooked at home. I got a grilled chicken breast, green beans, & cornbread dressing - 13 points total, which isn't too bad point-wise, but the chicken wasn't very flavorful. So I have 2 points left and I'm a little disappointed in my dinner. I used a LOT of points and didn't really enjoy it. I still haven't delved into my extra points for the week and I'm trying not to. If any day would have been the day to do it, it would have been today.

I went to Kroger after dinner and got several more Lean Cuisine meals, but they didn't have the Chicken Poblano. I guess I'll have to go to Wal-Mart to get that one. They were buy 5, get 2 free and on sale on top of that, so I got several to try. I hope I like them. I had a pear for dessert (zero points), so I'm done for the day. Hopefully the scale does not revolt against me tomorrow. I guess because I ate at a restaurant I feel like I didn't have a good day, but according to the points, I still didn't go over. I just don't see how a serving of green beans can only be 1 point, as it says in the book, because I'm sure they're cooked in something yummy and they had bits of bacon in them. Oh well. They were the only thing at dinner that I really enjoyed. LOL See y'all tomorrow!
