Today was weigh in day, and I lost 1.6 pounds! I now have 18 to go!

| Thanks, Kate! |
In preparation for the first of two holiday celebrations today, I ate a zero point breakfast. It was a glass of water and a tangerine. Total: 0 points
Lunch was a potluck, and let me tell you people what I didn't eat: potato salad, pasta salad, potato chips, bread pudding, lemon bars, and chocolate covered pretzels. (That's quite the accomplishment, if I do say so myself.) Special thanks to Kelly and Kate for motivating and eating healthy with me!
I did have five chick-fil-a nuggets, a cup and a half of green salad with a teaspoon of dressing, eight whole grain tortilla chips with three tablespoons of healthy eight layer dip, one cracker with a smidge of low fat cream cheese wasabi dip, and a sliver of pumpkin pie with fat free cool whip (I brought the pie so I'd have a healthy dessert). And three cups of water. Total: 15 points
Snack was another tangerine and a cup of water. Total: 0 points
Then I snuck off to the gym for a 15 minute walk and some weight lifting.
Then came the happy hour. All of the appetizers on the menu were not on the healthy side, so I called the restaurant in advance to see if we could get a healthier option. They did spinach dip with a side of veggies and tortilla chips, and a shrimp cocktail! So I had 8 tortilla chips, a bajillion pieces of carrots and celery, a quarter cup of spinach dip, five small pieces of calamari, and a little shrimp cocktail. Oh, and a glass of wine. Total: 11 points
I was still way hungry when I got home, so I had a half cup of channa masala, a cup of rice, a glass of milk, and some raita. Total: 12 points
I had planned to do wii fit, but I was tired. I feel like that's a legit excuse, considering that I was in bed before 9 p.m.

| Bonus: I got movie tickets for winning the trivia game, and got a Starbucks gift card from my project manager. Score! |

So in the end, I used 38 points. But considering that the day featured two holiday parties, I think that's pretty awesome. We'll give it a Princess Victoria in huge earrings, having a little party herself.
