Updates and a small review

I did in fact make it through Day 15, finishing the day with 2 Gordita Supreme's at Taco Bell. Probably not the most healthy of choices, but very yummy, filling, and fast...which, when I left work at 7pm after being here 11 hours (and getting a 95% on my test--go me!), was what I needed.

In doing so, I earned this. I'm pretty happy with it so far...which is good, because that's my 2nd purse in a year and I rarely buy them--and won't get another one until probably sometime next year.

I've been holding up pretty well since Day 15, too. I did my 1st official WI on Saturday and was down...

Drumroll, please...


8 pounds. Yay, me. Really...I'm more excited than I sound. But I also know that the first week on ANY diet you lose a lot of water weight, and even though that is a 2 week loss, it includes the water weight. So really, it's probably closer to 3 pounds of fat and 5 pounds of water...but why am I beating myself up about semantics? The scale went down 8 pounds. This is a good thing.

Of course, I really want to celebrate with a bacon cheeseburger and fries. I won't. But I want to.

Actually, I just finished my lunch (this is where the review will come in). I had a Marie Callenders' Pasta al Dente Tortellini thing, which, for a frozen meal, is really yummy...and 9 points. They have other flavors, too. My absolute favorite is the Chicken Balsamico, which is 8 points. Anyway...that's not what this is about. This is about Yoplait's new Delights Parfaits. There was a coupon in this week's paper for $1.00 off (there's also one on their webpage...), and they were on sale for $2.00...so I figured for $1.00, I'll try (almost) anything and I got the Creme Caramel...and for a 2 point yogurt, it makes a pretty darn good dessert. It's more pudding-like, but still has that distinctive yogurt "twang." One thumb up for these...they'd be better if they were only 1 point. ;o)

Well, short of doing a full "this is what I ate at this time" log, and we all know no one really wants a play by play of every bite ANYONE eats, that's all I've got for today.
