captain_slinkyToday we shopped with P&C, who are doing EXCELLENT on weightwatchers! I credit this success to willpower, sure, ut also (1) ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dotgirl's natural tendancy to being more-than-satisifed with the "Suggested Serving Size" of most food items, and (2) collisinons's Rainman-esque mathematical skills that allow him to determing the point value of any food product just by looking at the nutritional information; no chart, spreadsheet, calculator or pencil required! I've gotta git me some of that there Book Larnin' he's so fond of! If I can just glom on to a little bit of their combined abilities, I have nothing but confidence in this diet.
Also today I discovered that I'm doing it wrong! Not 30 points per day... I'm supposed to be eating 34!!! That's like two extra slices of bread in a day! And on top of that, I'm supposed to get 35 *bonus points* that I can use over the course of a week to get a little extra mileage out of my food! Use an extra 5 points a day, use them all on just one day... whatever! I plan on trying to save them all up and blow them on Monday Nights (the last day of my "weekend") each week, but it'll be nice to have the extra padding for just in case they order Pizza at werk or I get attacked by a package of Marshmallow Peeps!
So anywho, Breakfast was the 9 points.
For lunch I had 4 points of red rope licorice and a 6-point Hot Pocket Sub.
That STLL leaves 15 points for dinner! And 35 BONUS points that I can use between now and Monday night! I think there just might be some hot buttered popcorn in my future!
