Not so good

Sorry for not writing yesterday I had a really busy day. I had the day off from work. I got up about 6:15 am & got my but to the gym. I knew if I did not go first thing I would not end up going. So I did 45 minutes on the elliptical then did abs & some biceps & squats. I felt good after my work out & I was so glad I went because after that the day went down hill. Not so down hill I am off the slope but down enough. As I said I had the day off & my friend Julie & I went shopping just about all day, (so I guess I did actually get more exercise in). We went to lunch at Au Bon Pain & I got a turkey sandwich on multi grain & water so I only used 7 points on lunch which is not bad at all. The bad part of the day came at night. We had a Christmas party to go to & I was not going to have but 2 maybe 3 drinks. Ya right try like 7 or 8. I did not do all so bad on my eating (not like I use to eat) but I could have done so much better. I had salad, 1 roll, chicken (not so bad yet right) potatoes which I did not eat all of & I only had one bite of dessert. The bad part is I ate my husbands fried onion straws. I did dance so I guess I got even more exercise in, but all my exercise does not make up for the pig I made out of myself. Here is my food diary for yesterday.

On a good note I had a very filling healthy dinner on Thursday night. I make grilled chicken, sweet potato with 1 tbs of lite maple syrup & sugar peas. It was yummy I also went to the gym on Thursday & did the cybex for 40 minutes then some weights.
