Yes, you read that correctly. It's a friend's birthday today and she wants us all to go to Red Robin. Red Robin has to be my almost favorite restaurant, I have quite a number of favorite chain restaurants, but anyways yes, Red Robin. Yum! I normally get either a Whiskey River BBQ Chicken Wrap, a Whiskey River BBQ Chicken or normal burger. I love the bbq sauce and most of all, on the burgers, I love the onion straws. I wanted to plan this one out, I know that last time I went to Red Robin, I ended up eating 37 points, and I did not want to do that again. I'm going to get a Whiskey River BBQ chicken burger with no mayo, no cheese, and no tomato. That cut down 300 calories. I added it in my SP, along with everything else I'm eating today, and I didn't go over my calories! I was so excited, I thought I'd for sure go over, but the only thing I went over in was calcium. Super excited! I might steal one of the hubs french fries, but I will stick to my burger and enjoy the delicious fried onion straws.
Over the weekend I kept tracking mostly on SP, but along with WW. I keep using weeklies, which is what I know they're there for, but I normally don't use them during the week. It's hard for me to see them going down when I'm not really using them for anything really bad for me like I'm used to. I guess this is how I should be breaking down my weeklies and dailies.
Yesterday the hubs and I went to church, followed by a trip to Lowes. Why Lowes you ask? Well two reasons: 1) I love Christmas and they have Christmas decorations out, and 2) I don't feel compelled to buy anything there. I wanted to get out of the house, really I wanted to go shopping, but I know we have NO money for that sort of thing. When I go to Lowes or Home Depot, I can dream. I know we're going to build our own house, and I can dream of the huge kitchen that I know isn't really realistic. We walked around Lowes, dreaming of our house, and then we went home and watched football.
I ate pretty well this weekend, I even ate when I wasn't hungry, which I know I need to work on, but it's so hard because when it's dinnertime, I want to eat something. Saturday I made choc. chip cookies, so I munched on a few of those throughout the weekened, tracking most of them. I had a ballin' C25K day on Saturday, and we played tennis last night. I even got a compliment out of the hubs! He told me that I looked skinnier than the last time we played tennis :) He knows the way to my heart. I can tell that I have a lot more energy now when we play than when we started playing. I actually run after the ball now, and not walk. I can also pick the ball off the ground without using my racket to push myself back up. I'm impressed with the change that I'm encountering, and I'm proud of myself, super proud. I know I can keep truckin' and I'll get to that goal weight, whatever it may be.
