I made it through

Yesterday was the first time ever that I was forced to eat a salad for dinner because I had one - count it ONE - point left at the end of the day. And what did I spend all those points on? GRANOLA BARS.

Yes, you read that right. So it's not even like I had chocolate or cake or french fries - something that is yummy and fattening and worth it. I was beating myself up so bad towards the end of that day Robyn actually had to talk me off the ledge. It didn't help that I was having a horrible day emotionally. I wouldn't even answer any in company calls. I just ignored the rings and let people leave messages, I just couldn't deal with people yesterday. But I could deal with GRANOLA BARS just fine.

So I did what I've seen Robyn do many times, I had a salad with 0 point dressing and a spoonful of fat free cool whip for dessert. And then Robyn and I went to the gym, just in case I miscounted the number of GRANOLA BARS I ate.

But you know, I got through it. I still had something like 28 extra points as of yesterday morning, and guess how many I have left today? 28. Since we are going to Mad Mex tomorrow and I know I want a margarita and chips & various kinds of salsa, I was really good all weekend and then I thought for sure that those GRANOLA BARS would be the death of a good number of extra points. So I don't even have to do the whole "today is a new day I will start over and get back on plan" Because technically, I never got off plan. I adapted and came through unscathed. And I learned a valuable lesson about what food I can bring to work and I learned that I will not die if I have only a salad for dinner.
