So Its Valentine's Day and I had my first real hic-up in the diet.
Me and the wife went out for lunch this afternoon and I learned first hand how fast points add up if your not paying attention. We had went to a Tex-Mex joint called Zuma's the food was "eh" but she was in the mood for something southwestern and who am I to complain. She had the chicken fajita lunch plate which both looked better and was better as far as the diet was concerned but I assumed as long as I kept the portions size down I should be fine.
I was so wrong. I had the two taco plate with rice and beans, my mistake was assuming that I would get authentic tacos at a Tex-Mex joint. So instead of authentic I got some shit right out of taco bell, shredded beef, cheddar cheese, and crispy fried taco shells 5 points a piece plus 4 for the rice and another 2 for the beans, 16 points plus the cup of chili and the appetizer me and the wife split made for a lunch that was roughly ALL my daily points. I tried to make up for it by eating light for the rest of the day now for the first time since I started weight watchers I end my day hungry.
So what have we learned today.
This is good for you.
