Good and Bad Choices


You would think that I would have learn't by now but no I obviously haven't.

We went to the Entertainment Quarter for lunch today and I made a relatively good choice for lunch. I had a burger and out of luck more than planning it didn't come with hot chips. Mind you I did pinch a few of Brad's chips.


We also ended up walking around for 2 1/2 hours as we were killing time before the Celebrity 20/20 Cricket Match started. We got free tickets into the game cause Brad is part of the RFS (all RFS members and their immediate family got in for free) and his station helped out in Melbourne with the Bush Fires. I drank lots of water and diet coke but I slipped a bit today and ended up going over my normal daily points.


My bad choices came as follows:-


1. Golden Gaytime is 4.5 points but it could have been worse as I was originally looking at a Magnum and they are 8 points. However, whilst I enjoyed the gaytime it is so not worth the points!!!!


2. A meat pie and it wasn't even hot. Now this set me back 11 points and so not worth it. My choices were a bucket of chips @ 7 points, a hot dog @ 4.5 points or a meat pie and yes you guest it I took the meat pie. I haven't had one for over 12 months and at the time I just had to have a commercial pie but never again am I spending so many points on such a small item.....
I'm not beating myself up over it but as I'm typing this post, I can hear my weight watchers leader and her presentation about fast food at sporting events and the points values and what choices are better to make. If only I'd thought about this tonight...

My saving grace is that I had a healthy breakfast and some weight watchers snacks before I went and that we walked so much today. When my exercise points are taken into consideration I am still within my points for day but I am still disappointed at the choices I made today. I could have done so much better...


Lots of exercise and care points tracking for me over the next few weeks. I'd love to get to my 1st 2 kilo goal this week...


Just needed to get it off my chest before I went to sleep.

No matter how yukk a pie is, there is something about having a pie/hotdog or chips at a sporting event. Have a great week :-)

It sounds like you're following the WW plan just right. Your blog entry describes a day we'll all be faced with. It's all about choices and tracking your calories. Good job Carlton! I think you're gonna meet that London/Italy goal. :)

Yes, there's nothing like a pie and sauce dripping down your hand at the cricket.
