I was at EMT-Basic lab today. I got up at 0450 this morning, was on the road by 0530. I was so good, I packed healthy snacks to eat all day, even filled up a pitcher with lemon water. I snacked on a 2 point bagel, an apple and a cheese stick. I didn't even realize that was all I had until lunch. I was hungry, but not bad, and I made wise choices at Subway.
Then, Denise brought in the most evil looking Rice Krispy Treat - it had butterscotch chips, peanut butter and chocolate. I was doomed! But, instead of going overboard, I ate 2 small pieces. Oh, it was heaven. Thank goodness was at a fire station and people were watching me, so I didn't eat any more of that delicious evilness and guesstimated 5 points (I promise, they really were tiny pieces)
The afternoon passed without me realizing it. I drove home snacking on my food again. I was so good, until........I got home.
I don't think I've ever mentioned that I absolutely love Bailey's Irish Cream. It's not the alcohol that makes me want to drink it. It is the delicious full body taste of cream, chocolate and a little nip of whiskey. I love sipping it over the rocks, sometimes diluted down with half-n-half. I went to the liquor store the other day to buy some. I made a good choice and instead of getting a full bottle, I got the little refrigerator minis. Limit the temptation, etc.
If you hadn't realized, but there isn't any nutritional labels on spirits. I found the nutritional value of Baileys and nearly had a cow. 1 oz of the stuff is 3 points. The little bottle is 9 points. WTF. My favorite drink is 1/4 my daily points?!?!
When I got home I had 9 points left over. Hmmm, a WW meal or Baileys....I'll let you guess what I chose, but at least I only chose 1 and not both, and I know the consequences of choosing both. The dreaded gain at the scales.
Until tomorrow.
PS - Bernie, if you are reading this, give me a call tomorrow. My hubby is at work and I got the kids all day. I could use a cup of coffee.
