Can you believe we are on day 4 of no power?? This is really getting old. Not only am I tired of eating frozen meals, but I haven’t been Bizzy in my kitchen since Sunday! I am going through cooking withdrawal. 🙁
I had one thing to be happy though on Wednesday – bagel Wednesday! I had a jalapeno cheddar bagel, 1 tablespoon WW cream cheese and a hard boiled egg left over from my gas station breakfast the other day – breakfast comes in at 11 points.
Our only saving grace with not having power is that our weather has been absolutely gorgeous – yesterday the high was about 73 and the lows were around 58 – perfect sleeping weather. 😀
So guess what? I decided to run again yesterday and I think I may run again today – I am really starting to like it – I never would have thought that would happen to me in a million years. And yesterday I ran the whole time! Didn’t stop to walk once. 😀
Lunch – another frozen dinner – this time pasta in a red pepper sauce – I picked up some bagged broccoli and steamed a cup of it on the bottom to bulk it up, but this one was so low in protein, I was starving a couple hours later and had an apple and a banana.
So it was spin the restaurant wheel for Tony and I. We ended up going to Buffalo Wild Wings – we haven’t been there in a while and there were a few changes on the menu – um, salt and vinegar seasoning??
My plate – I had 6 wings and about 1/2 of the fries – my guess is around 11 points?
But guess what I had with them? Two big Coors lights. I guessed it would be about 8 points for the beers – ah, it’s 14 points! This week has been so crazy, I am hoping that my exercise will offset the stuff I’ve been eating and just maintain this week. 😀
So we get home, the sun has set – what to do??
I love any type of board game – and I am super competitive. My favorite game of all time? Scrabble! Except no one will play me anymore because I dominate at the game. 😀
And after a couple rounds of that (where I dominated) we switched to Ships, Captain and Crew. Anyone else remember that bar game? While we bet with dollar bills at the bars, I brought out our change jar and we each started out with $6 in quarters. You have to roll a six, then a five and a four in three rolls – if you don’t roll out a six in three tries, the other person gets turn – if you both don’t roll a six, five, four, you have to throw another quarter into the pot.
We used candlelight!
And Tony dominated this game! 🙁
Fingers crossed that the power is turned on – they are still saying by midnight tonight. I had to postpone my office grilling party tomorrow – instead we are going to order pizza!
Stats for Wednesday:
- 42 points (still have 18 flex points left for the week)
- 50 minute jog
- average blood sugar 121
Make it a great day! 😀
So happy to hear your power is back on! YAY!
Take care and have fun in VA next month. Smith Mountain Lake is so, so, so beautiful. [Richmond is only pretty at Christmas when they light up the city with Christmas lights heehee – and I say that knowing it is our state capital.]
I can’t believe you’ve been without power for days! That’s crazy! I think the longest we’ve been without power is maybe 6 or so hours? Generally overnight too, so it’s not really a big deal. I guess we just live in an area that gets the power turned on right away. It would piss me off to throw out all that food too. Ah well – looks like you are making the best of it, and what a great excuse to play board games. Love them!
I think this has been the most non-homemade food I’ve ever seen on your blog this week! I bet you’re sooo ready for power. Hope it comes on tonight!
