The very first rule....

of weight loss/life change/whatever you want to call it is NEVER GO TO THE GROCERY STORE HUNGRY!!! Do I listen to this rule? Most days yes but this is the first day of my diet so what do I do? Go to the grocery store at 5:30PM with a hungry baby. Our first stop of course was the bakery for an oatmeal raisin cookie for my son. Not too bad so far. We go through soda aisle and I get Diet Coke and Coke Zero (Diet Coke for Men) and have to pass all of the candy and chocolate. I am strong and pass all of that up. We go down the cookie aisle looking for 100 calorie packs and what do I see? Why Biscoff cookies of course. This is the first time I have seen them at a store. I have eaten them American Airlines before and have wondered when I could get my hands on them. Do I pass them up....by this point all sense of willpower has gone out the window. I stuck them in the cart. I did get some 1 point Weight Watcher Smoothies and 1 point Giant Fudge Bars for snacks. Not doing too bad so far, Only one outlawed item in the cart then I see the Kit Kat Bites near the register. I think "If I eat these in the car no one will know..." I passed them up. That is huge for me because I LOVE Kit Kat Bites.

The plan was for me to go to the grocery store get fruits and veggies and come home and have a salad. Instead I ate a Mcdonalds Cheeseburger. I passed on the fries though and now I am home. I went over points today. It is the first day of the new year and I couldn't stay in my points....what does that say for tomorrow? Hopefully, now that we have fruits and veggies in the house I will be able to make better choices for the rest of the week.

Here is my point breakdown for the day:

Breakfast
2 pancakes: 6
2 Tbsp Chocolate Chips:3

Lunch:
1 Cup Campbell's Chili: 3
1 oz cheese:2
1 Oz Salt and Vinegar Chips: 4

Dinner:
Mcdonalds Cheeseburger:8
4 Biscoff Cookies:3
Giant Fudge Bar:1

Total: 30 Points 24 used and 6 flex points used. Hopefully tomorrow I can stick with the 24 points.
