I have been craving mac & cheese for two days now. So, on my way home tonight I stopped at Walgreens to get some Kraft m & c. I figured it would do the trick and I didn't care how many points I'd waste on. It's snowing and I want it! They had a few different varieties and I really wanted the kind with with the gooey cheese packet, but to my surprise I chose the single serving variety! Then I headed to chip aisle because, like April, I love the chips and dips. Hell, I like everything with the dips. I grabbed a jar of Tostitos queso dip (1 point for 2 TBL- Woohoo!) and a bag of chips. But, again shocking myself, I put the chips back with the thought that I could bake a corn tortilla at home and brake it up into chips. What? Where is Jenna? Who is this motivated girl??? I don't even know myself anymore. Then I walked to wine section, stared at it for a while and thought, "not worth the points". Have I mentioned there is a terrible snow storm in progress and I will be hunkered down in my condo until at least Thursday morning? I came home and enjoyed my 6 point M&C and then scarfed a ton of veggies with light ranch dressing. It's a dip. And I still have enough points for my the Mexican hot cocoa I missed out on last night. I'll admit that I'm pretty hungry right now and might find myself snacking at some point, but overall I'm shocked at my restraint.
Tomorrow
Relax and avoid the snow
Stick to my daily points target

Jen, so awesome. What an amazing things you did making good choices, even if it was your healthier alter ego :) I love when my good twin takes over too!
ReplyDeleteHonestly though, I don't know about you, but having to face those points, and then thinking about how much I can't eat after I make a lame choice is just not worth it most of the time. So cool you got your cravingings satisfied with out blowing it!! Stay warm, I'll be camping out till tomorrow as well!!
YAY! JennAwesome, I'm loving who you are, was, will be, etc... Hooray YOU!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! It was a good day and I hope to have more of them. I hope my good twin sticks around! And, yes, sometimes the points just aren't worth it. I need to remember that! xo
