In all honesty I didn’t eat badly this weekend. I chose healthy foods and I tried to not eat too many of them.

Saturday was a good friend’s birthday and party. I made hummus rolls (which I will post the recipe for when I figure out the nutritional info!) and brought them. There were chips and popcorn there and I munched on them but, my downfall was the alcohol. I started out really good. I sipped on the party punch (which is made with kool aid.) and didn’t start out drinking heavily. After awhile I switched to white wine and that’s where the issues began. I didn’t realize i had people coming around while I was talking and filling my cup.  So I drank a lot which ended up having me munching on chips since the hummus rolls went FAST.

Earlier that night I did eat dinner. My friends are vegan so we ordered delivery from a really tasty Asian place. I had pan fried noodles, fake chicken and scrambled tofu. It came with a salad which I ate as well.

The next day I didn’t eat much until we barbiqued. I had a kabob with veggies & tofu dogs, corn chips and guacamole, cantalope, watermelon and veggie burgers with cheese (they have cheese because 1 roomie is vegetarian.) & veganaise. I also had some wine that night as well.

Yesterday was another light day but still over points I’m quite sure. I ate lunch with the girls at a vegan pub. We had an appetizer of deep fried gnocchi and I had a veggie torta with jackfruit carnitas with sweet potato fries. I brought home a “carnitas” burrito for the family to try and ended up eating it for dinner since only half of it got eaten. Later I was snacky so I ended up eating some carne asada that was left over from my parent’s 4th of July celebration.

So I am up a pound to 251 today. I have changed my weigh days to Wednesdays but since I’ll be running around like crazy tomorrow i wanted to weigh so I didn’t forget.

Question

How do you count points when you’re eating at other people’s house or at restaurants that don’t list calorie counts?

This is a good one especially because I eat at a lot of little cafes and pubs. Just wondering how everyone else handles it.
