Kenyon
and I celebrated National Margarita Day with my parents and brother
last
night. We
both had a craving for Mexican food so I extended the invite to my
parents. It was great to see them and I love Jalapeños in Nampa.
It's
interesting that I had a WW email when I woke up talking about
feeding your Mexican, Italian, or Greek food cravings. That was
pretty appropriate since we had plans for Mexican food. The
tips/tricks were pretty much what I already do and the main craving
was for tortilla chips. My go-to is the ala carte chicken tostada.
I
told
them to hold the cheese
on my tostada (to
off set the points for my margarita)
and added whole beans instead of refried.
Then
I
ate
it salad style ditching the tostada portion
instead so I
could
scoop
it
up
with chips. It was delicious! I
was pretty content after eating but once I sat and visited finishing
my margarita, I was feeling a bit over-full. Kenyon and I went to
see Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them so I was a bit sleepy
from my margarita.
I
think my Mexican dinner might have thrown me into a sugar craving,
although lately I've been satisfying my sugar cravings with fruit
lately, so we
ventured
to Cheesecake Factory after our movie. Once
we got there though I was torn because now regular food sounded good
too. I
ordered the chicken lettuce wrap tacos (served
with three tacos and I took one home) and
enjoyed half of the yummy brown bread. It totally hit the spot
that I passed on dessert. I
had mentioned trying the Halo Top ice cream so after Cheesecake
Factory, I
was on the hunt for some
but we were 0 for 2 in
trying to find some. We
got a Ben & Jerry's red velvet cake ice cream pint to share. I
had about 5 spoons worth and then realized while it was yummy, it was
just okay and not
great so
I let
Kenyon finish it.
We
went to
bed
super early (1am...is early when
you work the night shift)
so I didn't have anything else to eat. Despite having a 17
point margarita (that is what the WW email said for
the points value of a margarita),
it wasn't a crazy high point day since we went to bed early. I feel
really good today and
I'm
about to head to my personal training
session at the gym.
Instead
of a double feature movie night last night, I
think we will go
see
Moana at the cheap seats and I just found out my sister is going on a
family date night as well to see Moana with the girls. I'm going to
to propose that
Kenyon and I eat
at home with the backed spaghetti squash dish we planned last week
but
didn't get around to
cooking
and then have movie popcorn if we desire. I'll
wait and see what transpires later today. I am saving some weekly
points for Sunday
for
my
annual Academy Awards party. I am ordering out small
party/catering Mexican
food
from
a local restaurant in Kuna. That is what got the Mexican
craving swirling in my brain early
in the week.
I'm
putting together a blog post about this
awesome feeling of getting smaller again.
My clothes fit so much better and
I just feel better. So many positives!
