Boy, yesterday was rough. From hearing that my aunt wasn't doing well and being sad and worried about that, to my kids being little monsters for most of the day, plus I was a cranky S.O.B. yesterday, I am glad yesterday is over.
Today is a much better day. I slept well, so did the kids. The kids went to daycare and my wonderful husband John took me to the coast today to have lunch and go shopping at the Outlet Mall. I even napped on the ride back home. A very relaxing day, before I have to go teach tonight. I don't know which is worse, putting my kids to bed or dealing with 30 students who range in age from 18 to 53.
So, I didn't do so well yesterday in the comfort foods category. I last blogged that I was going to make a 1 point smoothie, well I didn't. I didn't eat anything, then I got really hungry (bad decision) especially since the kids decided to be little monsters right around dinner time. So, I threw a frozen pizza in the oven. While it was cooking, I calculated the points. It was 7 points a slice and I had 22 points left for the day. So, I splurged at had 3 slices of pizza. Boy was my tummy full. I topped it off with a 1 point beer. (Then another after I got the kids to bed, thus using 1 of my 35 uh-oh points, leaving me with 34 until Thursday).
So, here is the weird thing. I felt like I was cheating on my diet. The pizza tasted soooooo dang good, and washed down with a cold beer. Comfort food at its best. But, I have to keep telling myself to lighten up (well, that is what I am working on), I stayed within my points values, I watched my portion control (the pizza box said it had 8 servings, I cut the pizza into 8 equal slices and ate my 3 slices.) So, I have a strange feeling of guilt for eating "forbidden" food, even though I had the points for it. Weird huh?
Next post - who knows, whatever comes into my mind.
Oh, and a special hello and welcome to my WW friend and fellow journey-woman, Bernie! See you Thursday
