So, you're probably wondering how I did at the party. I didn't do too badly, in fact, I did better than I expected!
I started by having two packets of oatmeal mixed with chopped apple and heated up cranberries, a teaspoon of sugar, and 2 cups of skim milk to drink. This all came up to 10 points. I figured by having a filling meal before going to the party, I would be less likely to munch on all the unhealthy treats. I did have some of them, but way less than I would have if I hadn't eaten beforehand.
Here's what I had at the party:
2 steamed potstickers - 2 pts 3 mini pigs in blankets - 7pts
5 triscuit crackers - 3pts 1/2 oz ruffles - 2pts
2 meatballs - 5pts 3 ritz crackers - 1pt
4 wheat thin crackers - 1pt 2oz of cheese - 6pts
1 deviled egg - 2pts 4 frozen taquitos - 5pts
piece of cake - 11pts 15 m&m's - 4pts
That all adds up to 49 points. I was really surprised it wasn't more points. I made sure to put the food on a plate before eating it, rather than snacking from the buffet table. I took what looked like a reasonable serving of everything I wanted to have, and feel really good about how I did!
I was hungry when I got home quite a few hours later, so had some lean ham as a snack. I had 6oz, and it was only 5pts. I also had 2 cups of skim milk for another 4 points. Yes.....I do love my milk!!!
All told, I ate 68 points today, and used 31 of my weekly allowance points. So that leaves me with 11 weekly points for Sunday and Monday. I know it's not recommended to use that many allowance points in one day, but it was a special occasion and I planned ahead for it, so I'm pretty happy with today. :)
