Been a few days…

… but I think I’m on track. Dinner Saturday night was a low-point affair (delicious grilled pork and veggies!), which I rounded off with beer and corn chips and salsa & quacamole. Then dug into the points a bit with another beer and some ice cream. I estimate 10 bonus points, leaving me with 22.

Yesterday on my way to the writer’s conference, I had a bacon egg & cheese bagel, and some cream and sugar in my coffee. Then I had some KFC wings and mashed potatoes, and one more buscuit than I should have had. Then for dinner, I had some naan and leftover steak, followed up by a can of birch beer and some rum. I never had a good handle on how many points I ate, but I doubt it covered the whole 55 I had left (including bonus points). Nonetheless, I’m going to pretend they’re all gone for the remainder of the week.

For breakfast, I had some cheerios and milk. 5 points. 28 left today.

The Remains of the Day

Lunch: a couple of tomato sandwiches on hamburger rolls: 5 points. And some pita chips and hummus: 6 points.

Dinner: some leftover london broil and mashed potatoes, plus salad. Hopefully not more than the 13 points I had left. Dessert — a 0-point orange popsicle.

Dinner.

Big dinner  tonight… but not big points. I had 8 points worth of chicken (I’m being generous there), along with some grilled veggies and salad with homemade croutons, which I’m giving 3 points to total since the dressing was pretty light. So that’s 11 points of my remaining 17.

With 6 points left, I poured myself a beer (Young’s Chocolate Stout) and had some strawberries.

There’s a party tomorrow, and I’ve got 31 bonus points to play with.

‘Night.

London Broil is Falling Down

Well, I grilled up some london broil, and we roasted some beets and then put them in a sugary sauce in a dish cooks.com calls Sunshine Beets (that I calculated as 12 points total, but we divided it into 3 servings, one of which Kathy is taking to work tomorrow, so it would be 4 points for my portion — if I’d eaten a commensurate amount of the sauce, which I didn’t, so we’ll call it 3). And I had a raw bell pepper, since I was so preoccupied with the beets that I forgot to grill ‘em. The 4 ounces of London Broil was 10 points.. so 10 plus 3, plus the 2 points worth of olives I had earlier in the day, equals 15.

I had 18 points left, so I wound up with 3 remaining points after dinner. There was a chocolaty dessert that Kathy got in a 4-pack from BJ’s — just one left — and I seem to recall that each was 7 points. So I had half with a glass of milk, sharing the other half with Kathy. Boy, was it good.* Anyway, six points for that, so my running total of remaining bonus points is 33.

But I’ll be working in the city tomorrow, so we’ll see how takeout treats me. I better look for a sushi restaurant.

*The beets and the london broil were really good, too.

Apparently curry chicken isn’t the end of the world.

So I went to my weigh-in, and what did I see?
0.8 pounds had slid offa me!

That’s approximately the weight of Sopranos, Season 3, according to some guy on ebay.

I only made it halfway through season 1...

In celebration, I’m trying something new. Normally I like to have a tomato sandwich now and then — lowfat mayo, two pieces a’ bread, pepper… 4 points, total. But today, i just sliced the tomato, put a little olive oil and basil on it, and am eating it right now. One point, baby, and it’s delicious.
