Covered Eyes

As you can see, I have not posted in a couple of days. Mostly because I have been sick all week and barely had enough energy to take care of the kids.
Anyway, I weighed in today and lost 3.4 lbs. Its good considering the things I have eaten this week. I definitely have not kept up with ALL of my points. I made a goal this week to write down EVERYTHING..even if I didn't want to. :)
So that leads me to the headline for today..I ate Zaxby's for lunch...not a big deal, right?? Yeah..Right!! I must have been completely nieve or either blind to not realize the amount of calories and fat grams that comes with eating at Zaxbys. I ate 4 chicken fingers, a small order of fries (not even the whole order) a container of zax sauce, ranch sauce and 2 mini potato rolls (for my chicken). I figured I might have used 10-15 points...maybe 20 at the most. Imagine my surprise when I looked up the information and realized that I had used 29 POINTS!!!! Can you believe that?? Holy Cow!!! No wonder I am so fat! I guess when you don't look at the nutritional information then it is so easy to ignore the calories and fat in food and drinks. I also realized that my favorite Java Mocha Chip Frappuchino from Starbucks consisted of 560 calories and 22 grams of fat. Amazing isn't it?
Well - 2 new goals this week
#1 - Drink ALL of my water (which I haven't gotten off to a good start today
#2 - Journal EVERYTHING I put into my mouth.
If I do this, it will be interesting to see what I will lose the next time I weigh in.
