Weigh in - 05
I made a deal with myself at the beginning of my journey that I would not be euphoric over any weight loss, because that then opens the door to being irrationally depressed over any weight gain, but this morning when the scales posted a loss of 1.7kgs it was hard not to get excited because I am now, officially, an 80's girl.... Whooooo Hoooooo. *takes a moment - calms down :)*
Yesterday was a very interesting day. I decided that I would set the menu for the day - because it was Mothers Day - so had ww bacon and an egg for breakfast, had burritos for lunch and planned on having pumpkin/spinach curry for dinner with rice followed by ww chocolate sponge and custard. However. The day before I had roughly worked out what I thought the points would come in at for the Burritos. I could not find all the information I needed so ended up working them out at 5 points each. I was going to have 2. I had 2. I then used the packets of stuff to work out how many points they really were. For 2 burritos it was 17 points!!! Oops... I already had 2 points for breakfast so it only left me with 3 points for the day. I was determined not to go over as weigh in was this morning. So. I had the curry (0 pts) but no rice. I preferred to have the sponge (2 pts) and a share of the custard (0.5 pts) so in the end came in under for the day. If I had known I would have preferred to have 1 burrito and a huge salad. I won't be making that mistake again. And by the way. Whoooooooo Hoooooooo to me..

Yeah, make a fuss WOO HOO! That's really great to hear and you SHOULD celebrate your success..haha :-)
Some foods are a little tricky to work out so I am glad you're not beating yourself up about the 2 burritos. Good recovery BTW.
Awesome start to the week, yeah!
