Splurge Week

Hello Friends!

How're y'all doin'?  Me?  I'm okay.  Pretty good actually.

Those of you who read my last post know I'm doing Weight Watchers and that I have been doing pretty well, until this past week.  Really it was the weekend that did me in.

The hubs and I took a mini vacay to Loveland to go skiing.  We left Friday night and ate dinner at a yummy restaurant in Dillon called Arapahoe Cafe.  I had fish for dinner.  Good choice, right?  The fish wasn't well flavored, but okay.  I went to put it into my WW app to discover my fish was 11 points! I also had a really yummy artichoke rice pilaf.  It had cream cheese in it!  It was like a rice version of hot spinach and artichoke dip!  Also, a ton of points!  There was also a sauteed squash and carrot julienne medley on the side.  Super good, and not bad on points.  But Sistah was HON-GRY!  So I ordered desert...Brownie Bread Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream...it was SINFULLY good!  I just entered in 30 million points into the tracker.  I'm pretty sure that's an accurate point value.

Breakfast was bad, points wise, too.  I had a homemade waffle with real butter and maple syrup! I also had juice AND whole milk.  BAD MEREDITH!  We left the hotel and hit the slopes.  Ryan is turning out to be a pretty good skier.  By the end of the day he could make it off the ski lift without falling!  For lunch I ate a cheeseburger AND french fries.  BAD MEREDITH!  After lunch I decided to go for a few more runs while Ryan decided to investigate a warm beverage or two.  My tale of my final run of the day will be saved for another blog.

Sunday I ate a whole box of Mac and Cheese by myself--30 points and today I ate two creme filled long johns--22 points, which I deserved for going to a hard session with the therapist, going to a nanny interview, and buying groceries in the snow.

Luckily most of my bad eating was cancelled out by the activity points I earned skiing.  One day of skiing is worth 87 points!  Let me tell you, my legs are feeling all 87 of them!

In conclusion, I did really well for two weeks and then I pigged out this week.  I think that's okay every once  in a while.  I am getting back on track tomorrow.  I am dreading the scale.  Hopefully I maintained my weight and didn't gain much, if any, back.

TTYL!
