Happy Friday!
Posted by Froggy on April 11th, 2008
Here we are on Friday…finally the end of the week…the only thing better is payday Friday but that will be here in a week!
I am heading to a scrapbook night at a local church tonight. A fun occasion to be sure but a risky one too….see, it’s Italian night. Everyone brings something and we all share. Do I save points all day and eat carefully? Do I say the heck with it for a night and go all out (and feel like a stuffed cow later).
I will probably take a salad along like last time. I managed to do all right…but the snacks were tempting and I did sample. Give me strength…I know I can’t (or won’t) save points all day. I have to eat through the day or I get very grumpy! I don’t have a clear enough picture of what foods contain what number of points yet so it’s tricky choosing from dishes other people have prepared.
HELP! I guess I’ll let you know how it goes! How’s your Friday going?

Welcome to the blogging community.This place is great for support, ideas, venting, etc. I am a scrapbooker too–those crops can be deadly for snacking. I think the plan of bringing a salad is great and then allow yourself a small treat. Have a great time. Jeni

Thanks a bunch. I am looking forward to tonight, but salad is definately what I’m taking…and maybe if that lady who makes brownies is there I’ll have half of one…maybe. Loads of water in my go-mug will help!

Welcome to the community! I too am a scrap booker, although I don’t get to do it nearly as much as I would like! However, I just wanted give you two thumbs up on the water and salad. Definitely stay away from anything breaded, or anything that is just gleaming with oil and butter! lol…other than that, SMALL samples of only the best looking things are OK. AND if you sample something and it’s not as tasty as you had anticipated, then DON’T finish it! lol (I’ve fallen prey to that one several times). Either way, good luck and have tons of fun tonight!

UPDATE:
I did NOT do so well at the crop Friday night, ate more pasta/bread than I cared to, and had cheese…(not just a bite)…oh and there was sangria (only 1 glass - virgin!)…so I let myself down, even though I did drink water and eat a salad…but it strengthened my resolve for the rest of the weekend and the coming week
