Howdy! Sorry
to miss you all yesterday. I was a
fill-in trainer at work and I’ll tell ya, it really cuts into my goofing off
time.
I was super tired/lazy last night when I got home and
had no desire to get off the couch or meet Kelsey at the gym for a
workout. I’m still worried about my
right foot and have been resting (or perhaps using it as an excuse to be lazy
but let’s go with resting). I had a
pretty easy chicken meal to put together in the InstantPot but it wasn’t what I
really wanted. Even though I also didn’t
want to leave the house, I met up with Kenyon at Red Robin after work.
I usually have chicken but every once in a while, I
really enjoy a hamburger at Red Robin. Plus,
if I was going to have chicken, I could have stayed home and saved my
money! So, I looked up the points ahead
of time and did some fancy math to give my best estimate of the points.
The Tavern Double Burgers are a smaller patty size
than their regular burgers and you get two patties. I looked over the points and read the
descriptions of the burgers and finally decided on the Cowboy Ranch Tavern (ranch, bourbon-infused Whiskey River BBQ
sauce, crispy onion straws, American Cheese, and lettuce), which isn’t
listed on the WW app but was really close in calories to the Smoky Jack Tavern
(21 SPV).
I looked up the points for the hamburger bun (8 SPV)
but just in case it is a smaller bun, I subtracted 4 SPV since I was going to
put mine in a lettuce wrap. I looked up
the points for American cheese (4 SPV) and subtracted another 4 SPV. I also had them hold the ranch since I was
mostly interested in the onion straws and not the ranch or cheese. This brought my burger to 13 SPV. Lastly, I gave one of the burger patties to
Kenyon so I cut my points in half. Grant total for my burger was 7 SPV. I had a side salad instead of fries with
ranch on the side where I just dipped my fork (2 SPV). Since I had gotten there early, I ordered
their Sam Adams Beer Sampler with three 4-oz beer pours and only drank two of
them for a total of 3 SPV.
It was a pretty good dinner and all track/accounted
for. I also earned my blue dot. It makes me feel really successful to
navigate my program how it fits me. Oh,
I chewed on some peppermint gum on my drive home so I didn’t stop for an ice
cream treat. Sometimes when I eat out,
even if it fits in my points, I often have a hankering for a tasty treat afterwards.
I’m hoping for a loss this week and trying to my best
to balance my evening out on Wednesday and our unplanned dinner out last
night. I’m going to make the chicken
dish tonight, which will hopefully be my lunch left overs for tomorrow too.
