Days Two and Three: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Day two and three on the Weight Watchers ProPoints Challenge couldn't have been more different....


Day 2 (or 'The Good')
Breakfast
2 slices of toast with low fat spread: 6 ProPoints
Home made fruit salad with pears, banana and grapes: 0 ProPoints
*****
Cucurbita moschata 'Butternut'. Original descr...Image via Wikipedia
0 ProPoints!
Lunch
Leftover roast pork (that pork joint on Sunday was ridiculously big): 4 ProPoints
Roasted sweet potato and butternut squash wedges:  5 ProPoints + 1 ProPoint of olive oil
*****
Dinner 
Frying steak, cooked using low fat spray: 4 ProPoints
Vegetable and rice microwave bag: Guestimate of 5 ProPoints
Small portion of home made crumble: 4 points
Total: 29 points. Hurrah! 
*deep breath*


Day Three: (or 'The Bad And Ugly')
Breakfast
Bran Flakes with a chopped banana: 5 ProPoints
*****
T.G.I. Friday'sImage via Wikipedia
Potato skin heaven
Lunch
Ham and pineapple pizza oval: 6 ProPoints
Sliced pear
*****
Dinner (the bad)
Took a trip to TGI Fridays....so I'm not entirely sure what the points are.
Cheese and bacon potato skins
Jack Daniels Chicken with cheesy mash and vegetables
*****
Snacks (the really ugly)
A puff pastry mince pie
A bitesize flapjack. Um..ok two bitesized flapjacks
An oversized cocktail from TGI Fridays
A whole tub of grapes (not so bad)
Total: Who knows?? 
So, I messed up a bit yesterday. A mixture of toothache, PMT, a busy work schedule and being sent out to get the cakes for a celebration at Chocoholics means I've probably exceeded my daily ProPoints by quite a bit. There are a few saving graces though.
  • The 49 weekly treat points will hopefully have covered that splurge, meaning I can go back to being good without the massive guilt trip. 
  • My toothache meant I only ended up eating half of my main meal. A waste of money, but hopefully a saving of points.
  • I'm still eating far more fruit then usual.

Have you got any tips for staying on the plan on a stressful day?
