Lesson Learned

A few great things I have learned from weight watchers is to pre plan your food and what you want to before walking into a restaurant, this helps to curve those crazies temptations and allows you to be conscious of what you are putting in your mouth. I have a major weakness when it comes to Mexican food, first because it is so delicious I just want to eat and eat and eat, second because i crave greasy foods, which are extremely prevalent in Mexican cuisine.

Today I was craving tacos so I had planned to go in order 2 beef tacos togo and be on my way with my cravings satisfied and then I see the SPECIALS BOARD!! Before
I know it, I have been over taken by my weakness for fried foods and a good deal. I leave the restaurant with a beef taco and 3 beef flautas. I am starving because after being gone all morning I didn't pack snacks and my breakfast has worn off long ago. As I'm driving home eat my delicious fried goodness i realize I have forgotten to track my food to see how many points I was eating... I go to track my lunch and 1 flauta is 12 points :( and I have scarfed down all 3 equaling 36 points :(

Lesson learned = always check points before ordering

It's not the end of the world because what great about weight watchers is it gives you extra points every week in order to keep you on track. These extra points allow you to splurge with in reason so you can satisfy cravings or have a glass of wine and still stay on a positive track toward losing weight. I had a safety net to catch me from my mistake which is good but now I have to be extra careful until Monday to make sure I don't make the same mistake again so I stay on target to lose more weight this week.
