Back down a pound! That's half of the gained weight!

I DID pig a bit this evening: had a butter round (type of
cookie) that tasted good going down, but not as good as I
used to think, and NOT worth 5 whole points! I ate 28
points, so was 6 points over for the day, but still down 3
on the week. They are a write off, as of tonight. Start
fresh in the morning for a new week and a new menu.

Friday: oven baked breaded plaice and low fat chips, with
fresh veg: 8 points Saturday: WW ready meals: about 6
points (I'm out all afternoon, and won't want to cook!)
Sunday: BBQ meat (I shall have a nice low point chunk of
chicken or pork), salad, new spuds, fruit salad: 10 points
total Monday: baked jacket spud, with low fat tuna mayo,
and salad: 6 points Tuesday: WW recipe spaghetti Bolognese,
6 points Wednesday: low fat sausages, new potatoes, fresh
veg: 6 points.

Once I've calculated the main meal of the day, made a big
pot of zero point soup for lunches, and factored in
breakfast, I'm happy!

Its' hard to find things that are taste as good as the
number of the points they're worth I find! A good steak -
yes. A biscuit - no....... for starters, I get more steak
than biscuit for my points!

How the BBQ ACTUALLY worked out on my plate:

A small steak, about 3 oz: 2.5 points A home made extra lean
beefburger: 3.5 points
1/2 a chicken skewer: 0.5 point Couscous salad: 4 points
Bread: 2 points green salad: 0 points mayonnaise: 1 point

3 glasses wine @ 2 point per glass: 6 points.

Total: 19.5.

Now this sounds like a lot for one meal, and it is, BUT!

1 I had no breakfast! 2 I had a single 4 point sandwich for
lunch! My total FOR THE DAY was
2.5, so I was only 1.5 points over, and I have 4.5 points
saved from yesterday and earlier in my week, so I still
have 3 points to save for tomorrow! NOT bad going, really!

I wasn't going to count points today, but I did just to see
how far adrift my estimate was. It was way off for the one
meal, but not bad for the day, and I haven't used all the
points I saved for it, so I feel quite pleased - and VERY
FULL! If you feel the ground shake, it's probably me
exploding!

Thanks for posting. If nothing else it shows that some meals
and some days might seem really bad and they may verge on
being bad but it really is hard to really blow it terribly
in one day. And it shows that as long as you do NOT keep
eating and eating off-program and way over points day after
day, it is possible to enjoy some fun and/or outrageous
meals or parties or what-have-you, and still get back in the
swing of things.

I've paid for it in other ways... Too much food all in one
go, and with my digestion being what it is these days, I've
had two nights of agonizing indigestion! 🙁 I'll know better
next time!
