I hate Cereal. Wed W29

Wednesday morning, I decided to try something I haven't had in over 3 years....cereal. I am a creature of habit. If I find something I like- I have it once a week or more, if I try something I don't like- I'll probably never try it again. I'm not sure when my hatred of cereal started, but I am pretty sure it was mid way through high school. 


Anyway, I decided I would try some of Matt's honey nut cherios for lunch with some 1% milk for 4pts. Terrible idea. The first few bites weren't so bad, but by the 3rd or 4th I just felt gross. The cereal gets soggy, the milk gets sweet, you can't keep the little effers in your spoon- overall a frustrating experience- not to mention it upset my tummy. Note to self- don't try new things ever again. :)


Gross

I spent the morning working on my thesis research in the aerogel lab. Ew. Matt and I decided to spend a gift card we had to Red Lobster for lunch. I wish I didn't have to record everything I ate there!! We got an appetizer of artichoke lobster dip- looked this up no joke 1200 calories. HOLY CRAPOLA BATMAN!! Sooo a little less than half is still ~10pts. For my meal, I had a salmon BLT and fries 4pts. I didn't eat the sandwich because I was too full. I also had 2 1/2 pieces of bread 5pts. AHHHH! 19 POINTS FOR A MEAL AND I DIDN'T EVEN EAT IT ALL!!!!
Looks like 1200 calories of awesome, right?

Bread
Sandwich- Matt ended up eating it for dinner.

Maybe if you go to Red Lobster in the future, you should check out the nutrition information before you go. Here's the link to all parties interested- Red Lobster Nutrition.

I worked at LRX during the afternoon and came home still full from lunch. I had a late dinner of granola bars 5pts and chips 3pts. Wow.
No picha- sorry, I was ashamed!!

  2. I am back on the point counting wagon, and love your weight loss rewards to yourself... I am definitely going to do that. The food looks delish! I eat cereal or oatmeal usually for breakfast, but sometimes I just feel like it's a waste of four points.
