Yesterday was a long day. After I left work I booked it home to get some cough syrup relief. I can't take the syrup at work because it makes me so tired. I relaxed on the couch for about an hour had a couple pickles and a cracker or two and then it was off to my board meeting. By the time I finally got out of the meeting my stomach was killing me, probably a combination of too much cough syrup and an empty stomach. Anyways, I had plans to make some healthy turkey paninis on the stove but Derek had other plans. I pulled up to him waiting in the driveway, he wanted to go to Chili's. I was so tired I agreed it would be okay. So anyways I search the menu and find the Chicken tacos, three small tortillas, grilled chicken, lettuce and salsa (I asked for the sauce and cheese on the side). The food comes and they forgot to put the cheese on the side, it wasn't much so I decided to not complain and just use some flex points. What's the big deal? I did some research and according to one source the this meal has 27 points!!! WHAT?!? I didn't eat the rice or beans or the sauce so I only counted it at 20 points. STILL! What I thought was a "good" choice turned out to be a huge mistake. Needless to say I am on day 2 of the week with 17 flex points to get me through.
Here is to keeping on track and keeping my fat girl mouth shut!!! I have plenty of good choices at home and there is no reason for us to eat out anymore this week. I think I will save the rest of my flex points for Friday, we have about 20 close friends coming over to celebrate Derek's birthday. I know that if I plan wisely that day I can stay under my target!!

I HATE it hate it hate it when that happens.
The Chili's around here has some options that are around 10-11 pts. I don't know if everywhere has them. It's always hard though - looking at those vs. everything else on the menu ... they just don't compare!
FATGIRL MOUTH - OMG, you have to be kidding me! I've seen pictures of you sister and you are SKINNY!! I do understand your dismay at the deception of restaurant menus - hence the reason that eating out is a no no in my life......just causes too much drama!
So don't stress about dinner - you're gonna be fine. Lord knows, you have an iron will and the tenacity to hang tough!
I hope you start feeling better soon..........also, remember pickles and crackers don't constitute food! Silly girl!
I echo happyblogchick... I especially HATE it when that happens. I usually pride myself in having a pretty good idea what something is POINTS wise and every now and then I'm WAAAY off.... Don't worry.. new flex points NEXT week. YAY!
I hate when that happens too! I seem to always get extremely nervous when I cannot research NI before going into a restaurant. Even when I get the chance to do the research I feel myself fighting the urge to get something loaded w/ calories.
I hope you're feeling better now! Oh, and I didn't comment but I loved the bathroom decor, it's so nice and elegant!
