Weekend Report
Another weekend down the drain. I always save up all my bonus points (or Weekly Points Allowance) for the weekends, and still it never seems like enough points. I know if I could make it through the week without busting my WPA's it would make a huge difference in my weight loss. I know this...and yet I always struggle on the weekends. Those extra points add up quick....even on good meals like the grilled chicken BBQ I had at Ruby Tuesday's Friday night. Salad dressing, real butter, shredded cheese on my salad, suddenly I've burned 8 points. But the real damage happened Saturday while watching basketball at my fathers. He knows I'm on Core, and so we were having turkey, but then he thought making garlic bread with it would be a good idea. It was not. Garlic bread is 5 points a slice (!) but Oh-so-hard to resist. Dad is what they call a WW enabler. In some ways he wants to help, but yet he can't stop buying foods that I have trouble with, even though I have begged. (Weight Watchers calls these "red-light foods"). I know if I would just stay firm and not eat the foods he wouldn't do it again, but then it starts a fight. (I know, a newly married woman over 25 still arguing with her father?) Maybe he doesn't really want me to suceed???
