Day 18

Today has been interesting. I did great all day. We took the kids to McD's for lunch after church. I was so proud of my self, I kept my points low.

This evening I had a huge challenge. I made one of my favorite things. Scrambled eggs with Blue and Gold sausage. I looked up what the points would look like. It was a lot of points for a small amount and in order to have the amount that I wanted would have exceeded my points greatly. I stewed and thought for a while and decided that since I was so far over on my points yesterday that I really needed to stay with in my points today. There for a while I really wanted to quit and throw in the towel and just eat everything and not care. I instead chose a lean cuisine with fresh cucumbers and some baby carrots. I really wanted the sausage and eggs with toast, but was not willing to give up my points for such a small amount. This was a very hard challenge but I feel good about the decision that I made. It is 8:00 pm I still have 5.5 points left for the day. So at this time I have eaten 34.5 points of 39.

UPDATE:
Had an some icecream after kids were in bed. ended my day with 39.5 points.
