it's a hard knock life

Hey boos!

Well, I've finished grading all of my exams so far, and I have my last two classes today, so now I'm just waiting to do some more grading.

I got my new iphone yesterday and the first thing I did was download my weight watchers app. I think I did ok with points yesterday. It gets a little hard to judge how many points things are, so I'm trying to do the best I can. It was nice to see Bffl & Bffl Jr. at lunch yesterday with some of the teachers. Kristina and I did great with our lunch choices! I almost did get the 8 wings b/c it was 14 points, but I think my lunch ended up being around the same too. I had 2 turkey sliders and a caesar salad for lunch and it was so great! As badly as I wanted that mac n cheese, I want to be skinny more. Plus, there will be other days when I have more points available and hanging around that I can splurge on mac n cheese. For dinner I made myself another chicken caesar salad and then treated myself to a 4 point dessert. I did have 2 piece of caramel chocolate (thanks, Alexis Kidd!omg), but I had maybe 7 points left over, so I think the chocolate took me right to 39 points for the day.

Today is going to be a struggle though with food. I woke up and had a string cheese and some oranges for breakfast = ok good! Bryan is bringing over a smoothie for Tyler and me today during the next exam = 8 points. I am starving! Two girls gave me more chocolate today. One was a lil pack of peanut butter cups and it is only 6 points! However, I'm going to save that for tomorrow when I will have more points to use. Today I am going out with Ellen for lunch at Capital Ale House... Omg, how I love that place and how badly I want the mac n cheese, but I'm going to make smart choices. At first I was debating about what to do- just get one 12 ounce miller lite (2 points) and no food b/c I just had a smoothie a few hours ago or skip the beer and get a soft pretzel. I'm leaning towards getting the pretzel and no aclohol. I would rather eat points than drink them. I was playing around with the tracker to get an estimate on what the pretzel would be.

And then dinner is going to be another issue b/c we will be at Uptown Ally! I think I'm going to limit myself to two beers b/c I don't want to be hungover the next day or go over my points. I know I have those 49 bonus points but with stuffed shells on Monday & the potluck on Tuesday, I don't know how many of those I've actually used.

Eating out is def. my biggest struggle and trying to figure out what point values would be.

Hope you ladies are doing well & Kristina isn't too sore from Johnson-Forlicker! Love you guys! <3
