Treat Day

last night was weigh in night. I did well at the scales and lost another 2lbs. I usually try to treat myself after I weigh in because it is my only opportunity to splurge without really effecting my weight loss the next week. Well...I splurged last night all right! I decided I was going to have a whole pepperoni pizza even though what I really wanted was KFC. I ate the whole thing and then topped it off with a chocolate cake bar. Oh my...I then decided to calculate how many points I went over. Well, I knew it was going to be bad because pepperoni pizza is always bad, but I didn't realize I was going over my so many points. I figured out I spent 20 points on pizza alone and then another 3.5 points on the cake bar. Add that to the 10 points I had already eaten during the day, and I ate a whooping 33.5 points. My daily point target is 21 points, meaning I went over by 12.5 points (more than half a day). 

Now I am feeling guilty. I like my treat, but I feel like I have started this week off in a bad place. Now I need to try and make up for those points but eating less the next few days. If I allow myself 18 points per day it will take me 4 days to make it up. However, 18 points is hard to stick to for almost a whole week. I will let you know how I have done.
