Week 11 - If I Only had a Brain!

Do you ever see food and all thought goes out the window? I do. I like to try new things. Especially "snacky" foods. When we go grocery shopping I'll see some new thing to try and as soon as we get home (literally) I'll be putting things away, tear open a box and find myself eating whatever it is. I did this last night. Eventually I will learn not to even bring these types of things into the house in the first place. Last night it was Special K's new Mocha bars. I'm a sucker for anything coffee flavoured (anyone know of any coffee flavoured hard candy or vegetable?)

I suppose it could have been worse. It could have been a coffee flavoured ice cream. Okay, THAT I have enough sense to not bring into the house and even when Brad brings ice cream home, I'm able to avoid it. I must be missing a female gene. I'm not a fan of ice cream. So I ended up going over my points by 5.5 points. Whoopsy. Good thing I went for a very brisk hour walk. Gotta get those activity points in. I've earned 17 this week...and have used 11. Tee hee.

Today will be a good one. I have my whole day planned out. It is actually pathetic. I couldn't sleep last night, planning out my day. Most excited about my lunch. Baby Spinach Salad. Too bad I forgot mandarin oranges! I love salad! I am just lazy. I HATE cooking. Hurry up and retire Pam so you can come and be my personal chef. I NEED YOU!!!
