Happy Taco Tuesday! That's right, it's that magical time of week when we get to eat tacos because the day of the week starts with the same letter as tacos. I promised Cody that is what we would have for supper tonight, but that also meant trying to figure out what to eat because beef can come with quite a few points depending on how it's prepared. I was thankful for the Weight Watchers app tonight for sure. They have an extensive list of restaurants and they show the points for almost every menu item. I was able to find out that I could have chicken soft tacos fresco at Taco Bell and they were only three points each. So that is what I ordered.
Fresco means that they take out everything that is dairy and replace it with pico de gallo. So there was chicken, lettuce, and pico, plus the taco sauce that I added. I will say this, they were nowhere near as good as the Naked Chicken Chalupa that I REALLY wanted. They weren't as good as regular tacos and I would take the extra few points to have cheese. But they were the better option and I don't feel guilty for eating them for dinner. It is nice to have the information at my fingertips if I do want to go out to eat to make sure that I don't go overboard with points. It is quite helpful. I have not been going out to eat as much lately as I am trying really hard to stay at home and eat healthy which has been saving me a lot of stress and money.
I made a delicious salad (I know, do those two words really go together?!) for lunch today and portioned it out so I can have it for the next two days as well. The strawberry poppyseed dressing that I used was only 1 point and was actually really delicious.
I have been attempting to drink more water through the day as I hardly ever drink liquids. My friend Liz gets on me about it every time she sees me. I cut out soda and have been soda free for 15 days now. Honestly, I don't really miss it. I only drank diet, but that still isn't great for you so I decided to stop drinking it. I have a goal of 60 ounces of water per day which is still less than I should be drinking per day, but it is so much more than I usually have. Baby steps. I have been doing pretty well so far, have met my water intake goal for the last four days. Sunday night I had over 100 ounces of water at the club. That was a little too much. Lol.
My weigh-in day is Friday. I am hoping to have lost 5 pounds by then but even if I stop at what I have already lost this week (3.4 pounds so far), I am not going to get discouraged. Healthy weight loss is around 2 pounds per week so I am still doing well.
I hope everyone had a great day today!
Keep up the hard work! I do love the Weightwatcher app... makes it easier to plan meals ahead of time. It's important to plan ahead when eating out - cravings can cause you to splurge on those points. I don't know if you like Buffalo Wild Wings - naked tenders cost me nothing last week! I tend to "go out to eat" for time alone with the hubby, so I try to avoid the stress of figuring out the menu once we are out.
