WOW....anyone been to tropical smoothie cafe? Well...it all looks healthy and grand...but boy oh boy, can those points add up fast. I had lunch with a co-worker and friend yesterday and got what I have always gotten. I was a little nervous, as they had no nutritional info readily available..but it was a wrap, with spinache, artichokes and lowfat mozzarella. Not bad, right? I have water and an orange..instead of the dreaded cookie or chips they offer you. Well..since I was nervous..I instictively ate very light for dinner. So, this morn I find the sight with the nutritional stats on that POPEYE wrap...14 stinkin point!.. My day wasnt blown..as I had activity points earned to cover and could easily dip onto my 35 bonus points..but ohhhhh that is a high price to pay for some spinach in a wrap! Lesson learned...if you do always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got. A special someone told me that once and it's sooo true. So, next time, instead of ordering on the fly-something I always thought was soooo healthy and low fat..I will look up the stats BEFORE I get there and have to order and feel nervous the whole time I am eating! Lesson learned......hope this helps someone else out there! =) Took the night off the treadmill last night--will kick it hard tonight though to make up...and weigh in tomorrow!!! Wish me well! Till next time....cheers! Oh and to buds out here..who might be reading this..keep up the great work! ~jen
