I hate when life happens…
I am unusually busy and stressed. I am working as much as possible because the holidays are coming upon us and my husband has been laid off work. I am stressed and grouchy adn the one thing that always makes me feel better is restricted. blah. I just really need to get some sleep and drink my water. I went to a buffet today and ate, alot. BUt i am still within my points and havent used any flex points yet so… heres my best guesstimate…
Lettuce=0
Broccoli=0
Tomatoes=0
Cucumbers=0
Cheese=2
Mushrooms=0
FF ranch dressing=2
Bacon bits=2
Egg (white mainly)=1
Chili soup=2
Rice=4
Corn=2
Green beans=2
A few other bites=4
Rice krispie treat=2
Broccoli and cheese=3
Wings=4
I am sure I will dip into my flex points tonight, but I am not that hungry yet, so I am sure I will be reasonable adn realize it’s only my second day and I may need some flexies for the weekend..
and although I havent gotten any “real” exercise yet I have been dashing around busily, both at work and home (so many things to do and not enough hours in the day– yet i always manage to find time to stop and eat 
)
Thank you so much for your encouragement. It is nice to know someone else who is just starting off. And if it makes you feel any better…I used all my flex pts already. But some nights you just need chocolate so that’s where they went. The thing is to listen to your body and really only eat until you are full. One thing I found when I did this years ago was that if I put down my fork after every bite and had a sip of water, I was full sooner. That meant I ate less at meals and used those points for the night when cravings hit. But I didn’t starve or deprive myself.
Good luck! And I will be sure to check in to see how you’re doing.
Your doing great!! Keep it up.
