MB and I had a delicious, healthy, home-cooked dinner tonight and it felt great.
Then, we decided to have dessert. I got some regular fat-full ice cream for him and some WW fat-free ice cream for me.
My first WW ice cream bar was small and not really satisfying, so I had my other WW dessert too.
All together, the points weren't that bad. It's just that old self control issue again. It seems that sweets are my nemesis and always will be. Even the fat free ones.
(sigh)

Eats for Thursday 4/7/11
The Beast reared it's ugly head today.
I think it's a combination of the onset of TOM, the change in the weather and the fact that I wore my glasses to work, squinting all day at the computer screen. It could also have something to do with the fact that I've been taking 800mg of Ibuprofen twice daily for a week for my sore and swollen throat. That's a lot of Ibuprofen and I think there may be some sort of rebound effect from it.
Whatever the reason, The Beast showed up.
I came home from work and crashed in bed for an hour or so because my head hurt so badly.
When I got up, I had no desire to make dinner. MB wasn't feeling too hot either so we ended up ordering pizza. Not the best decision, but we needed something.
I was pretty sure I was going to be hurling mine up later due to The Beast, but I didn't. I kept everything down and was able to fight off The Beast for the night.

Eats for Wednesday 4/6/11
So, we got a new fridge. Yay!
I heart it big time. It feels so good to actually have fresh food in the house again.
My plan for the day was to make soup and have it for lunches, but I didn't get all the ingredients. I was able to pack breakfast, but no lunch. The food cart at work was my healthiest option. The salad was 12 points, so I only ate half.
For dinner, I was going to make a tomato basil chicken, but hadn't gotten the basil yet. I had to improvise and make something a little different. The points were a little higher than what I had planned for, but it still turned out pretty well.
While making dinner, I had a mini cardio workout. I have to do a lot of jumping around and fancy stepping to avoid the 45 pound food seeking furball who plants herself directly on, under and over my feet while I'm cooking.
She's such a helper.
