Falling Off The Wagon

Nothing like falling off the wagon on the second day - and I thought 21.5 point breakfast was bad - how 'bout 40 point dinner?! Yeah - ended up with a 56 point day - but I was telling some friends at dinner tonight - and like my friend B said (and by the way - B-squared is a good nickname) - don't let one bad day get you down - besides - I still have 5 days until I weigh in! I also played softball and swam laps today so I got extra activity points. And I had a fantastic day doing it all. Church was good - we went off site to worship and I enjoyed the first BBQ of my day. Tried to be relatively good since I knew I was going to another BBQ where I probably wouldn't be so good. We had a fun game of softball as well - although I'm sure I will be terribly sore tomorrow - geez am I out of shape. Then I headed over to my next event - the Chargers/Patriots game - interspersed with the Yankees/Red Sox game. And we had a really good time - had some really good food - although I just feel like I ate too much. Kate told us we shouldn't feel stuffed - and that's how I feel and I just don't like it - will have to remember this tomorrow when I attend my 3rd BBQ in two days - we are having an offsite team building day at work and lunch is going to be a BBQ - at least I know that I have a 6 point dinner waiting for me at the end of the day!
So I have to write about the 3 point brownies - all of a sudden my life has become entirely about points! When I was making the brownies - one of the things the cookbook said was to line the pan with foil and then spray with nonstick spray - I never line anything - except my cake pans - and I don't own any non stick spray. But I thought - hey it's a WW cookbook - maybe there will be fewer calories if I line it with foil - I seriously doubted it - but it was a good thought anyway. So I kinda' liked the foil thing - made for easy clean up of the pan - wish I had sprayed it though - I hate to waste any brownie that is stuck to the foil! My biggest complaint though is that it said to cut them into 16 squares and each square would be 3 points - which is what I did - but I swear the brownies in the book looked larger than my little squares... maybe because I had brownie stuck to the foil - will have to remedy that next time. And they turned out really good! If I don't blow so many points at lunch tomorrow - I'll have to have a brownie and milk with dinner - mmmmm. Stay tuned tomorrow for another wonderful account of points and I have a mom story to tell!
