Today has been a busy, but good day. Our closest casino had a coupon for 2 free buffets 2/11 - 14 so DH & I went for brunch. DH probably ate a couple pounds of crab legs, fruit and some other stuff. I had an egg beater omelet with tomato, pepper, onion & green chili. Took a SMALL bite of biscuit & decided it wasn't worth the points, had some sliced potato cooked with onions, some melon, chose skim milk for my coffee, let DH have my glass of champagne. I really wanted dessert & chose chocolate cream pie, took a taste & decided not worth it - plus the crust I think must have been made out of real lard and was NOT really appealing. I did end up having about a 1" square brownie - mainly to get the taste of the crust gone.
After the casino DS20 called & wanted us to bring him lunch and since we were fairly close we went thru McD for him, then got a dozen Dunkin Donuts I had promised DS17 (the only donut place anywhere near us and it's not close)
I ate a double chocolate donut for lunch. 7 pts, and truthfully, not really worth it. Next time I think I would slice it like a muffin and only eat a thin frosted layer.
Donuts & pastries/cakes/pies etc are really a weakness of mine. If you're familiar with the Hallmark character "Maxine", when she was introduced, my siblings & I thought we should sue as that IS my mother- looks, dress, mannerisms, the things she says, attitude, EVERYTHING!! Even the cigarette holder & glasses!! I bought my DSis the cookie jar that says "Cookies. They're not just for breakfast anymore". Until I was in HS I truly did not realize breakfast cereal existed. Our breakfast was cookies (dunked in coffee, of course, sometimes smeared with peanut butter), leftover pie, cake, donuts if our neighbor made them fresh (gee those were wonderful) Rarely we would have pancakes or eggs for DINNER, but NEVER for breakfast. The only fruit we ever had was apples when the tree had them, Watermelon in the summer for a treat, and 1 orange & 1 apple in our stockings. Otherwise it was Beef & Potatoes for 2 meals a day. Is it any wonder I have weight/sweets issues???
Anyway.... I ran & did the
Walmart run, then swam for an hour. I also got in a 30 min walk early today. My swim was interrupted when I left the pool to go to the desk to complain. On weekends they let members bring children in to swim for 1 hour time blocks. When I got there an oriental lady with an 18 mo old, 4 & 6 year old was just arriving. She let the older 2 in the pool alone, took the 18 mo old in the Hot tub for 10 min, then the steam room for 10 min then back to the hot tub - all while leaving the other 2 unattended. Then she pulled the older 2 into the hot tub with the baby while she proceeded to swim laps & go into the steam room alone. The young teen at the desk didn't care. Wait til one of the kids gets hurt. Even worse was that the 18 mo old didn't have any type of diaper on!! I plan to call the mgr tomorrow. All it would take would be a call to Child Services & the Health dept. UGH!!!!!!
DH is at the gym....or so he said. It wasn't busy and he left appropriately dressed, so maybe.
Off to laundry & hopefully visit some journals later!
Thanks for all your visits & support.
