I went way over my points yesterday, am allowed 35 points (WW) a day and had 60, but boy was it worth it.
I've lost 21 lbs over the last 5 weeks. It's been a tough 5 weeks at work, very challenging as work with severely autistic children.
Last night as it was the last day of term we decided to go out for the evening on the town.
Well before going I had a pizza, potato wedges and chicken strippers !!! I had 4 bottles of VK and a bottle of Smirnoff Ice while out, let my hair down a bit and relaxed.
It was worth it though, after the 5 weeks we've had at work, we needed to do it.
Back on the diet today. Weigh day on Monday so will see then what the damage is. If I stay the same or put some on, then so what. I've enjoyed myself and i'll know why, and i'll know it will loose it again the following week.

Congrats on your 21 pound loss - that's great! Sounds like you'll be just fine. We all need to have days when we relax a bit and celebrate. Keep up the good work! (P.S. I just love British expressions and got a chuckle out of "chicken strippers." Had an image come to mind of a chicken taking off its feathers while seductive music was playing in the background!)

Sometimes you have to 'celebrate' and then it's easier to get back on track. You're doing great, good luck.

Well, great job at the 21 pounds. Trust me I understand why you needed to go out and let your hair down. I have two children on the autistic spectrum and could have used a night out with you.... to bad you live so far away. Hugs Denise

I had pizza yesterday and I didn't give a damn how many calories it was worth. It was worth it so I'm with you on that. You deserve it girl! Hey I'm thinking about doind Weight Watchers again but I found it really hard. How do you do it within the points everyday? Would you want to be WW buddies so we can help eachother?
