Kim’s Journey to a Healthier Place

No, Cracker Barrel did nothing wrong but make really soft, buttery buscuits. Yesterday I had my sensible dinner at home all planned out, but WH had to work late and suggested we eat out at Cracker Barrel when I got back from the gym. I thought, heck, why not? Dinner started off great with my choice of Beans N’ Greens (pinto beans and turnip greens) which is about a 2 point meal. Well, I was hungry preoccupied with conversation and before I realized it, I had eaten a cornbread muffin before dinner came out (WWP=8!). After I was satisfied (I didn’t eat all my dinner) I put my napkin over the leftovers to tell myself to stop picking. The buscuit plate didn’t get covered up and I guess what I ate. TWO buscuits as WH and I chatted. It was totally mindless…I wasn’t hungry! GRRRRR… Each buscuit was 5 points! Okay, my 2 point meal QUICKLY turned into the 20 point meal. I hate when I do this. My good intentions for the meal were ruined. I would have rather used those 20 points on a cheeseburger and fries. Live and learn.

NOTE TO SELF: Cover up the bread basket/plate, too!
