Okay, it’s KIND of a party weekend. Party of Two party last night. We spent a great Valentine’s Night at home enjoying Pizza, Wine and Chocolate….all very responsibly. I tracked and planned for every bite.
I told myself I would only have alcohol once a month, but I figured since I messed that day all up and broke a bone, I’d try it again, but with Mike’s supervision!
I hadn’t even planned on any chocolate yesterday, but after picking up our Heart Shaped Pizza from Papa Murphy’s, (which I thought was super cute!) I was feeling all romantic and decided we NEEDED some chocolate to compete our Valentine’s Dinner!! (Mike could seriously care less about chocolate, but I convinced myself that it would look great on the table, and that it would make him feel really special. Sometimes, I am delusional.)
I stopped at a little candy store and picked up Two Gigantic Raspberry Chocolate Truffles and two small Dark Chocolate Cherry Cordials. I looked up (not with great ease) the PointsPlus values for chocolate Truffles. I decided after weighing One of my TWO truffles, that we would likely just share one. Or maybe I would eat a whole one by myself (8 PointsPlus!) and only have one glass of wine instead of two. Maybe I would skip that darned truffle all together and put it down the garbage disposal!! Or….enjoy my pizza and wine, and freeze the Truffles for a later date.
I enjoyed two glasses of wine, I ate 1 1/2 pieces of pizza instead of 2 pieces, I cut one of the truffles into four bites, and ate two of them. Mike didn’t even WANT any. That man is cray cray!! I put the rest of the chocolate in the freezer. Hopefully I will forget it is there…..forever. (Those bites really were delicious with my red wine!)
Today we have our Grand Daughter, Charlotte’s, first birthday party! Having that taste of chocolate last night will make the sugary cupcakes tempting today, but I’M NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY!
I’ve dipped into my 49 Points Allowance more than I would like to have, but I feel like I have planned well for everything. I didn’t drink all of the water that I had planned to yesterday. For the rest of the week, I will eat only my 26 Daily Points Plus, and I will give the treadmill another attempt this week. All of my back muscles and neck muscles are doing weird things from wearing a sling and walking on the treadmill didn’t feel so great the one day that I did it last week. Maybe I’ll try 10 minutes on, take a break, 10 minutes on, take a break….etc.
Have a Great Sunday!!!!
