As a reward for the Compensation department's hard work over the past six months, our Director is treating our department to a day at Pier 39, including lunch at Bubba Gump's, fried food heaven. The big day is Thursday.
Here's my plan of attack: I already checked out the Bubba Gump's menu on their website so that I won't be overwhelmed by the myriad of fried food temptations. I decided I'm either going with a chicken salad (dressing on the side) or a salmon/veggie skillet; no alcohol or appetizers; key lime pie for dessert. In the morning, I'll skip the cream in my coffee and keep my breakfast to 2 points. I'm allocating 20 points for lunch, and 5 to 7 points for a small dinner, keeping my total for the day under 30 points. I'll let you know how it goes.
Here's the good news: I'm eating veggies again. Last night for dinner, I made baked chicken, soba noodles, boiled mustard greens and almond butter sauce. I could control the points in my homemade sauce and it added flavor to the boiled greens. Pretty satisfying meal. Hank has unofficially joined the WW wagon. I'm happy that he's eating healthily, and he's happy that I'm cooking more.

Wow, Lynn! That's a plan of attack that would make any SJ's heart sing. LAAH! You are so serious. That only encourages me more - in my commitment to weight loss and my general neurosis/tendency toward OCD (as if I needed encouragement with the later).
5-7 point dinner is totally possible. TJ's sun-dried tomato sausage on whole wheat bun with veggies, ketchup and mustard. Or in a similar vein, TJ's chicken chile lime burger on 2 slices of high fiber bread wtih the fixin's. And ou could always bulk it up with a salad dressed with salsa too.
That's what I had for dinner the past two nights - respectively.
Run Forrest Run!
Count Lynn Count!
well, i don't necessarily want to encourage anyone towards OCD! but a little planning for me seems to go a long way . . .
where are the sundried tomato sausages? I could find them, or maybe they were just out...?
They were with the other sausages. Refridgerated case - 5 per pack.
