Hit a bit of a setback. I left work early to take our little guy to the dentist, and was ravenous afterward, so I stopped at Taco Bell. Did you know - a cheesy potato burrito is 14 points according to Weight Watchers? I do now.
So, I went way over yesterday, dipping heavily into my weekly points. After the burrito, I calmed down some, and had a dinner comprised of a peach, whole wheat pita with hummus, and a couple of small slices of cheddar cheese, along with a Kashi bar later to fend off the hunger.
Hunger is a bit of a problem - I had Cheerios for breakfast, and was hungrier afterward than I had been before I ate. I think I need to make sure I have at least a little bit of protein to go along with grains, fruits, and vegetables, just to stave off the feeling of being hungry.
But, today is a new day - we'll see how today goes, along with the gym trip this evening.
FWIW, you might try keeping a little container of nuts in the car/at work? They're high protein, but also high fiber, so you stay fuller longer. The sea salt and olive oil Planters almonds are really good - they're nice and salty, if that's your thing. (It is mine!) And like you say, there's always tomorrow, and you have a weekly points allowance for a reason!
ReplyDeleteI do have some nuts and dried fruit at work. My bad days come when I'm barely in the office, and am stuck running between courthouses all over the central Texas region.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's nice to have those weekly points - I just hate spending them cause it means a slower roll toward the goal.
