So yesterday’s plan was to eat out and then go to a movie. Until… the boys found out the new Ben 10 Season 4 came out on DVD. They HAD to have it. So, we rushed to get it at Best Buy. Now on movie nights at the house, we always have popcorn, candy, and ice cream or something like that. They ate McD’s last night, I opted for Subway. They got crunch bars, I got a piece of WW candy, and so on. Until, I had to try theirs! I ate fries and I dunno why! Then I ate some of the hubby gourmet candy and even a mini crunch bar! AGHHHHH End result: 5 points worth of fries and 5 points worth of candy, putting me about 10 points over for the day. No biggie as long as it doesn’t happen any other day this week. I don’t like using my flex points. And I could have done some damage control by walking or running, but my stomach hurt SO bad. I don’t eat that much chocolate usually, and I really noticed how much it hurt my stomach. My sister is allergic to it, and I think maybe I am too. So, I am going one month with no chocolate, even the WW kind, to see if it helps. But, back to the point at hand… living with 4 people who have a fabulous metabolism and enjoy junk food is damaging to my progress! I try to plan and to envoke my willpower (which I think truely doesn’t exist at times!) but the dark side is just SO tempting. What ways do you have to not fall into 10 point traps like I did last night??

Other than that, things are going well on the homefront. This morning the hubbs is taking the kids for a bit so I can get in a run (that is if he ever wakes up!) and then my oldest who is 9 and I are going to a candy making class! What are we making you ask?? CHOCOLATE! So maybe last nights pitfall was to help me avoid todays larger potential one! See, always some silver lining! Ha! Anyway, we’ll be melting, molding, and painting it! How cool is that?!

Hope you chickies have a great weekend!!
