So last night was bunco with the girls.  I did really well during the day, and had 7.5 points left when I left my house.  Then I consumed about 13 points (estimate) at bunco.  And I watched myself and only had one beer and tried not to overdo it - wow!  Those points add up fast when you’re eating Fritos and sausage dip.  So I used 5.5 flex points.  No biggie.

Then tonight we went to Applebee’s for dinner.  I had the Quesadilla burger and ate 3/4 of it… well, okay more like 4/5 of it.  And DH got an order of onion rings before dinner which I had to taste.  And a Corona Light - *love* my Corona Light especially with a burger!  I figured I’d been good, and I had flex points… what the heck, right?  Well, I got home and looked around on the internet for something comparable so I could estimate the points, and I’m guessing the portion of the burger I ate was about 19 points.  Yikes!  So there goes another 11.5 flex points today.  Fortunately tomorrow we’re home all day so I can eat my healthy stuff, and my flex points renew on Monday.

I don’t feel guilty about using the majority of my flexpoints.  But I lost 4 lbs in 2 weeks, and during that 2 weeks I barely dipped into my flexpoints (is that one word or two?  I can’t make up my mind) at all.  If I continue to use pretty much all of them every week I may still lose weight, but it’s gonna take longer.  And I don’t want it to take longer.  So I’m gonna try my hardest not to dip into them.  I wanna be done with losing and move on to maintaining!
