Eating Out + Points Plus =SUCCESS




So a challegne this first week for us, was going out.  We were invited out to El Torito on Friday for a going away party for one of the van poolers from JPL.  We both knew it would propose a small  problem with all the delicious appetizers they have to offer, but we discussed we would order from the regular menu and from "the lighter side", and for Mexican food that is pretty difficult.  But we did it and had a good time with our friends. So don't be worried if you get invited out, you don't have to turn down the invitation just cause you are on WW Points Plus, you just have to look at the other options they have to offer and choose wisely.....   now if we would have turned down the invite, we would have missed Maggie sing karaoke, which by the way she did really good. It was nice to go home after and not feel bloated, and Tom was still able to have his dessert, a Skinny Cow.

Our next challenge wold be WCYBL Opening Day on Saturday.  There was to be vendors selling all kinds of good food..nachos, burritos, bacon wrapped hot dogs, pizza and the ultimate best thing to have funnel cake. 

Thank God for Tom, we were able to support each other during the long day, with a break for lunch to Applebees, where they have WW meals on their menus with the points plus value right on the menu.  How awesome is that.....

Now don't get me wrong a big part of me REALLY would have loved to have that funnel cake with the strawberry's and whip cream, but after I probably would have hated myself for using SO MANY of my daily points plus my extra weekly points all for ONE funnel cake.  Maybe one day i will have it again but for now I am being disciplined and using my points wisely, thanks to Tom.
