A guess is better than nothing
Posted by Lois Anne on May 3rd, 2008
So I said in my last post that I wanted to post 5 days a week (meaning Mon thru Fri), and I already didn’t post on Friday! So I’m making up for it now.
Last night was Outback Night at my kids’ school. Outback Steakhouse donated food and servers and the kids/parents put on a talent show - it was so much fun! As I sat there with my plate in front of me I heard that inner voice say, “I have no idea how many points this is… oh well.” But I quickly realized I can’t keep doing that. I needed to come up with a point value for what was on my plate, even if it was a guess. So I guestimated 15 points, which used up a chunk of my flexpoints, but at least I have an idea of where I stand. If I hadn’t guessed, I would have assumed I had already blown it and given up (and eaten who knows what else!).
Tonight I’m going to my nephew’s wedding, so I’ll face more temptation. But I’ll make a guess and keep on going. I may be out of flexpoints by tomorrow, but tomorrow through Thursday will be easier because I won’t be eating out.
