I have to REALLY save my points Tomorrow

If I want to eat, drink and be merry, I'm going to have to buckle down on points for the rest of today and tomorrow!

Every alcoholic drink has a point value!

If I have 5 lite beers if we go out after the GTG - that's 10pts!!! Plus I need to eat, etc!

What if you 'nurse' your beers? I tend to do that, I usually only have 1-2 drinks/night... I can't really drink a lot

Re: I have to REALLY save my points Tomorrow

I wish I could 'nurse' them!!! Once one beer goes down, they all do down like water! I will definately try that though!

Edited to say: I probably won't drink 5, I was just speaking hypathetically (sp?)

Re: I have to REALLY save my points Tomorrow

you mean chew the ear off by talking, then its ok...

The only beer that i like to drink fast is corona. But I like heavier beers usually, like guiness, etc.

Re: I have to REALLY save my points Tomorrow

And 4 oz of wine is 2 pts. 2 ozs of hard liquor is 2 pts I think. Light beer is 2 pts. So don't drink a pint of anything non-lite.

Re: I have to REALLY save my points Tomorrow

LOL - yes by talking! that's why I took that out, I knew it sounded weird! lol!

Re: I have to REALLY save my points Tomorrow

LOL! Chippa, you have me laughing with your 'lady you're killing me' LOL!!!

You know what I would do with that hero, I'd take a piece and not eat the bread. Just pick the meat and cheese off.

At least your BP lunch will be AFTER you get weighed in!

Whatever you go over, just make up for it on Sunday!

Re: I have to REALLY save my points Tomorrow

chippa, try not to eat a lot of cheese on saturday, and stick to turkey/ham/roast beef, I think other lunchmeats (salami, etc) have huge amnts of fat in them.. And salt too.

Re: I have to REALLY save my points Tomorrow

thats what i think i am going to do, just pick off the meat and toss the bread. ham i think is 1 pt a slice so i'll have the ham and some cheese with a little potato salad. yea sounds good to me...i also have in the back of the week 1 book a recipe for woopie pies and brian said he would make them for me to take on saturday so i can have those which are 2 points instead of the cupcakes he is baking for me. (i have him doing the baking otherwise i'll be licking the bowl that has the left over batter)

i am also going to pick up tostito's and pretzles. i figure if i am eating low fat and healthy then so is everyone else.

Re: I have to REALLY save my points Tomorrow

it will be funny if we are all reciting how many points everything is...
theyll think we're nuts at papa joes !

Re: I have to REALLY save my points Tomorrow

Chippa:
Can you skip the potato salad? Or make one with the lowfat mayo?

Also, if you're getting corn chips, look into the guiltless gourmet, they have a tonn less fat, b/c they're baked... Not as greasy as tostidos and they have a whole bunch of flavors too.

Re: I have to REALLY save my points Tomorrow

The potato salad is already made so its not me making it.

i'll have too look for those chips you mentioned Alina. Where can I find them??? are they in a regular chip aisle??

alina Posted: Jan 16, 2003 03:07 PM

Re: I have to REALLY save my points Tomorrow

Do you have steve's c-town by you? I know that they have them, and sage bought them at shoprite, I think... check out www.guiltlessgourmet.com for the brands of supermarkets that carry them...

In steve's they're not in the regular chips aisle, but rather on the side, where they normally keep on sale things. They're also organic, so perhaps in the organic section?

Re: I have to REALLY save my points Tomorrow

chippa, I just read that you shop at bj, I have no clue if they carry the chips... They come in 7oz bags and may be too small for the bulk food store like BJs

Re: I have to REALLY save my points Tomorrow

I'll definatly have to keep my eyes open. We live across the street from Stop and Shop but I know where there is a super stop and shop and they may carry them. I'll have to check that out.

Re: I have to REALLY save my points Tomorrow

So what is everyone going to eat tomorrow? I think someone posted the points for the menu somewhere. I'll see if I can find it...
