I have been good counting my points. Keeping track of everything I eat. My precious kid even helps me by keeping fatty foods away from me. (He is my angel). Today is a special day. Something very important between me and my fiance. Unfortunately, my precious son is spending the night with his dad so it was just me and Mr. Ungoy who went to dine out.
We decided to go to Barnacle Ben's. It is a seafood restaurant in New Jersey. It is one of our many favorite restaurants and this place happens to be where Mr Ungoy and I had our first date. He have tried everything on the menu and their specials. None of which failed us.
Why is it a disaster? It is about my diet. I am clueless on how to count the nutritional information they have on the food I got! Of course, they serve you bread which I was really good by having half of a piece. I did a guesstimate of 160 calories on a piece. So I count it as a point for 1/2. Add the spread, a promise butter that I could not promise not to have. That's another point. It was time to decide what I want for dinner. Since it is what I want and not the smart choice I could have done, I selected Mussels in Marinara sauce as an appetizer, a salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette on the side( used 2 tbsp) and for the main meal I had Jumbo lump crab meat cooked in oil and garlic sitting on a linguine with white sauce (had 1/2 of the serving). Tell me how will I surpass this dilemma.
To be on the safe side, I calculated my meal at 25points!!! That is just my dinner! Oh well... Need to get working on my AP's now .....
