Ok, so I'm going to admit it, but only 1 time so pay attention. I'm not perfect. That's right, I said it. I'm not perfect. Now that I've cleared up that point, I wanted to share my whoops for the month. I can honestly admit that I since March 1, 2012 I have partaken of fast food a total of 3 times. Yup, 3. For me, that's actually pretty good because I've been known to buy fast food 4-5 times in one week (I went through a no cooking phase). Since I have been committed to loosing weight I have tried really hard to be good and not feed those nasty habits. My first indulgence was when I was on vacation at my sister's house. Because I was off my routine, I was extremely hungry one day while out shopping, so I purchased me a $1 McDouble from McDonalds. I already knew that those sandwiches are a little less than 400 calories. I've never really figured out the Weight Watcher's points, but figured it was around 7-10 pts just guesstimating. My next indulgence was on my way home from vacation. I usually try to travel between meals when I'm only going 3-4 hours away, but this time, I was on the road right at dinner time, so I again went to McDonalds and purchased Chicken nuggets and fries for me and my kids. I gave the fries to the kids split the 20 nuggets between the 3 of us, and had 8 nuggets while each kid had 6. My final indulgence was tonight. I went to my sister's house for my niece's birthday. I had already used up my day's points so I knew I would be using some of my weekly points and wasn't really worried about it. My sister ended up purchasing an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. It looked very delicious. I requested a small piece, but ended up with one bigger than I was hoping for. I should have cut the piece in half, but didn't: Mistake 1. Mistake 2 was eating the whole piece. It wasn't very large, but it was large enough. When I came home I searched the Dairy Queen website to find the nutritional information so I could track it. The closest thing I came to was the Oreo Blizzard cake. My sister purchased a sheet cake, and the website only had 8" and 10" round cakes listed. So I decided to go by the 10" cake information. My jaw dropped when I found out how many points that small piece was... guess... come on, guess... you'll never guess. Ok, I'll tell ya, that one piece of cake was about 21 points. GO FIGURE! I know that a large turtle blizzard is like 25 points (don't ask me how I know ;-). If I had known that I was going to blow half my weekly points on that one piece of cake I so wouldn't have eaten it. **Note to self, take Ipod anywhere I go. ** So, because a moment on my lips, I just spent the last 40 minutes busting my butt to keep that moment off my hips. LOL. Lesson learned!
