Day Four part 2

OK so I didn't go to the grocery store today as planned. Spent my morning at my father-in-law's Dr's appointment. While waiting for him I had a Sausage Biscuit meal from McDonald's (Shudder) with a HI-C orange drink. After his appointment, we went out to lunch where I had a grilled cheese and fries (shudder and cringe) and a very small child size sprite. I came home and started my Wii Fit exercise and followed it with a nap. OK everyone in unison say it LAZY. As for dinner tonight I thought I would go to Chipotle and get a Fajita burrito. I really thought that the Fajita burrito with no rice and barbacoa, mild tomato salsa, corn, and light cheese was a smart choice.

WRONG

After scarfing down my burrito and the last soda in my house (Dr Pepper) I looked up the weight watcher points equivalent and about fell out of my chair. The burrito as I ate it had 790 calories, 34 fat grams, and 6 grams of fiber for a whopping 17.43 weight watcher points. That's more than half of the points allotted for a day.

I truly enjoy Chipotle and really would be missing something if I had to give it up, so I started playing with what was in the burrito to see if I could have and will in the future make a better choice in ordering.

I thought the tortilla it was wrapped in was probably the culprit of the sky high points so I subtracted it from the nutritional values. This put the totals at 500 Calories, 25 Fat grams and 4 Fiber for a grand total of 11.28 weight watcher points. Better but still not great.

I then removed the cheese. I know its shredded happiness. I didn't want to do it but I felt I could do better with the overall points and nutrition of the burrito. So for the Burrito Bowl ( UGH) with Fajita Veggies, Barbacoa meat, mild tomato salsa, and corn here are the stats:

Cal 390 Fat 16 grams, and Fiber 4 for a points total of 8.33

Still the fat is a bit up there but the points are definitely doable. I'm not sure if I can still call it a burrito if its in a bowl and has no CHEESE (I want to throw myself down and kick and scream) but I think this is far better than giving it up completely.

I think I made some horrible food choices today BUT I feel that I have learned a lot about looking at my choices and trying to adjust what I really want so I can have it. Tomorrows weight is not going to be pretty but I think I have made one small step back in weight loss BUT one giant step in the knowledge of what I need to do in order to get where I want to be.


WII FIT MII !!!
