The bonzi burger... not pictured above... why do you have to be so tasty.Robert and I have decided we will have a monthly splurge. I figured if I got it out of my system early in the contest it wouldn't affect my numbers as much. So last night we went to Red Robin and of course you can't just stop with the burger. Even though I opted for no mayo and only 1 slice of cheese and a side of melon, I still had to steal fries from Robert. Shame on me. It wouldn't have been so bad, then we got the milk shake! HA! So yeah, it's out of my system. Especially when I came home and calculated the points, I'm not even going to tell you, I'm sure you can figure it out for yourself. Bad Melissa. Oh Food, our relationship is so hard. I love you, but my hips hate you. Sigh. I will definitely be calculating points BEFORE I go out to eat.
I think a major hurtle I need to overcome is letting myself get too hungry especially after I exercise. I feel so good after a good work out the last thing I want to do is eat, i feel like I will ruin my whole workout. So then I let myself starve till dinner and I can't stop eating. I was doing good for a few days, making sure to stay full so I wouldn't be so hungry at dinner time but I get so lazy, I hate cooking, well, i like it but only sometimes. I think that is why I ate so much last night, I was just so hungry.

ha! Great post. My splurge is actually a salad...just not the healthiest of salads, not the worst, but not the healthiest..I'm having it Saturday, but for dinner I'll be eatting the 0 point soup and for breakfast, my usual english muffin w/2 egg whites...2 pts. So I should be ok. Going out is soo freaking hard for me at first. I always end up doing the 0 pt soup to make up for it. I wish we could have gone out with you guys, then you know where we would have gone and the points would have been even higher. haha.
oh, and I've found (at least for me) that if I have a few almonds before and after a workout I feel more full...I'm sure it'd be the same with any other high protien low pt snack...beans, ff cottage cheese, egg whites. Anyway....
Sounds so yummy! You are not alone though. Last night I had pizza, wings, soda, AND halloween candy. And yes, I'm feeling sick today... and guilty. Soooo not worth it.
