Week 1, Day 3

Not bad so far. I did a little grocery shopping, so I have the necessities. I *did* use 3 bonus points today. But it was well worth it. Considering there are 35 bonus points that I can use per week, I don't feel so terrible about using 3.

Here's the damage.

So...it was the extra serving of cheese on my salad at dinner that did me in. But it was soooo good! I suppose I could add in my grocery shopping as exercise because I was walking around the store, but I'm too tired at this point to figure that up. It would most likely only be 1 point anyway, so it doesn't matter much. At this point in the game, I care more about what I consume than what I burn off. Tomorrow I'll be more careful. Ciao for now!
