Snacks and Dinner

Stayed on my points for the rest of the night: 2 servings of corn chips with salsa (6 points), chicken, salad, and corn on the cob (16 points) and a skinny cow ice cream sandwich (2 points). Plus the remaining olives earlier in the day. That makes 33!

Oh, that went well.

So my friend Chris came to town, and he, Kathy and I went out to dinner. We went to Wild Rice, a local (and delicious) Asian fusion restaurant in town, and I had one out of the five appetizer rolls and a bowl of Monsoon Soup with seafood — an Udon soup I’m estimating at 12 points, or 14 for the meal altogether. Which left me with 6 for dessert.

Well, there’s an ice cream shop two doors down, and without knowing the points for ice cream, I went and ordered a double-scoop cone. I knew I should’ve ordered a single, but I ordered a double.

The weight watchers book says a scoop of premium ice cream is 7 points, and I had two, on a sugar cone (1 point). All told, 15 points. So it looks like I used 9 of my bonus points on tonight’s dessert. I knew I’d be dipping into them when I ordered the ice cream, but that was a little more than I’d bargained for. And if I’d ordered a single scoop, I’d only be two in the red.

Ah, well. Live and learn. Anyway, that’s it for my eating tonight. See you tomorrow.
