Mexican food

Sometimes you just need a break from counting points and indulge in a favourite meal. I know, maybe you should never take a break and just muster through. For me my favourite meal is nachos, salsa, flaming cheese and guacamole from Mexican town. Though its across the border, everyone in my city has been there at least once if not a million times. I started going when I was a kid and than went in high school with friends, college, university, working and now as a parent with my own kids. Last night we made a stop there to take it home with us. If I'm going to eat this junk I'm going to enjoy it, not hurrying to finish because we need to leave with crying babies in our arms.

I was prepared for the consequences, I had a margarita and thought "well there is no way I'm weighing in tomorrow" I haven't been able to exercise for a few days because I have stitches on my calf, so I thought instead of getting bummed at WI and ruin my whole week I'll just skip it. I was so stuffed going to bed last night, didn't mean to eat that much but it is just so damn addicting.

The verdict, I woke up this morning and thought, "who am I kidding, just myself, get your butt to WI and deal with reality" SO I did, I weighed in and was up 1.6lbs. I'm fine. I'm still here and I'm happy I went.

It did take me 3 weeks to lose 1.6lbs so was it really worth it? Um probably not, but I haven't had Mexican town since I was pregnant...well probably a year ago. So I ate, I gained and I will continue on.
