Me vs Fireside

Today has been a busy day...started out in a lousy mood because I had an awful nights sleep.  I normally don't eat breakfast when I first get up but decided to give it a whirl today because of zumba class at 9:30 a.m.  Started with a French Vanilla Smoothie/banana mixed in and a piece of turkey bacon (3 points+).  Worked out for an hour at the Y doing zumba.  That always puts me in a better mood!  Lunch was chili (7 points+) and homemade applesauce.  After an afternoon of errands I headed home about 3 and found I was pretty hungry.  Luckily I had an apple sitting in the seat next to me!  Thursday evenings we usually go to Fireside for dinner and drinks.  It's a small local restaurant that many of my friends hangout on Thursdays.  It's not just the food but the couple glasses of wine I usually have.  I had enough points for the wine today but I really didn't want to do that so I fixed dinner at home before we went and decided I would have water with lemon for a drink.  I fixed "fried" fish, sweet potato fries and a salad with FF salad dressing.  Total points+  for evening meal was 8.  Once I got home from Fireside I fixed a double......a double smoothie that is. I was still lacking two milks so the smoothies took care of that.  I decided I needed more points so I mixed one with water and the other with milk for a total of 6 points+.  Since I hadn't had any oils today I put 2 tsp. of olive oil in the smoothie (2 points plus).  My total points for the day are 25 and I plan to eat two frozen WW lattes for 4 points+.  That will give me my 29 points+ for today.  I might not have done it totally right but I got my points in, I got all my good health requirements and even got in exercise.  So Fireside, for this time, I WIN!!!  Tricia, I'll post the caramel apple salad recipe tomorrow but I'm warning you, it has gone from 2 points to 5 points+ and that's even cutting back on peanuts in the recipe.  I'll also post the fried fish recipe.
Hopefully, you've had a great day too...woo...woo....I think I can, I think I can!
