So if Weight Watchers had a reality TV show, it would look like my week. Also I would be sent home after this week.
Challenge One: The Happy Hour Challenge (aka my Tuesday night)
In this challenge the contestant (me) is invited to happy hour with the friends. The menu consists of mozzarella balls, fried calamari, chicken strips, pizza...well you get the idea. And the drinks are cheap. What is a girl to do? Well this girl tried really hard. I researched the menu before I went so that I could plan ahead. I only had two drinks. I didn't eat a single mozzarella ball! I would say that I passed challenge one. (If we ignore the cookie I had during the day...it was a moment of weakness, but not part of the challenge.)
Challenge Two: Pizza and Beer Night Challenge (aka my Wednesday night)
In this challenge contestants must attend a movie night complete with pizza and beer. Yeah, this may have been where my week started to fall apart. While I did limit my pizza intake to 3 slices and my beer intake to one beer, I perhaps failed when it came to choosing the correct type of pizza. The everything pizza with 4 kinds of meat was delicious....and should have been skipped. I shouldn't have had two slices of that one. I should have maybe stuck to the cheese. And maybe I should also have skipped the chocolate that was sitting on the table. I didn't succeed at challenge two.
Challenge Three: The Running Out the Door Challenge (aka my Thursday night)
In this challenge contestants must drive their mother to the airport and eat dinner, with very little time and no food in the house. The solution, eating out. The restaurant selection could have been a winner. Marie Calendars is fast, on the way to the airport and they have a salad bar! Excellent! Unless you choose the potato cheese soup and bleu cheese dressing. Ooooh. Contestant one lost points for that one.
Challenge Four: The Celebration Excuse (aka Friday afternoon)
It's a holiday weekend, its Friday afternoon and contestant one had a rough week. No one is looking...no one will ever know... And suddenly there I was in Citizen Cake with a hot chocolate and a chocolate chip cookie. And that's when they booted me off Weight Watchers Island.
I weighed myself today and I have gained 1.8 pounds. I will have to work very hard to lose any weight by Monday.
And so readers, I am feeling like a fat failure. And of course I'm going shopping for new clothes tomorrow. Perfect. I bet I'll feel just awesome.
So that was my week. It was full of fun and good food and great friends. If only I had any self control. At all. Needless to say it took all my energy just to keep up with the events of the week so there have not been any updates on my book. And my finances aren't in great shape after all that going out either.
Well that is all from me. Tune in tomorrow when Contestant One gets back on the Island and tries to not fall off the boat this time.
I will order you a salad next time we have pizza. Although I think you will probably never forgive me if I did that.
ReplyDeleteHaha! No no, that's ok. The cheese pizza was the healthy choice. It was that whole eating the meat covered pizza that was a bad idea. And that was my fault and mine alone. Secretly, I think it was worth it.
