Mid-week update

I've been lax at my blogging. Although i don't have much to report, I feel the need to update today.
I've been sticking with the flex. Even though I had lunch out over the weekend, we went to Panera and I was able to count the points for the lunch I had. I like the "pick two" and had a cup of the bean soup and 1/2 turkey sandwich. I believe it came to around 11 points for the meal. Because hubby has been sick with the flu or something similar, I've been able to eat at home most of the week! So much easier to count points and stay op that way.
I ended up not going to weigh in yesterday, probably not a good thing. But the scale in the morning didn't lead me to think it would be too encouraging, so maybe just as well. I could possibly go on Sat. morning to weigh, before eating anything. That might give me some motivation.
I went to dinner with a friend tonite and had a small greek salad, which had 3 nice size pieces of very yummy feta cheese on top. I had to eat them. I ate 1/2 of my chicken shishkabob, some of the rice. It came with dessert and we both had spumoni. It was 7 points! I still came home and had my popcorn and twizzlers.
Those twizzlers could become a problem for me. There is only one more serving left in the bag, maybe I should not buy any more. 4 of them are 3 points. It's a nice snack that I really look forward to. I haven't gone past the 4 piece serving, but easily could eat the whole bag!
I've decided that I will try to use my 35 extra points on Fri, Sat & Sundays. Actually, kind of what I've been doing all along! Today I figure I already used 4 of those points.
I have to say that it's crossed my mind that I could try doing low carb for a week. I wonder if that would get me to finally lose some poundage. Just a thought.
