Adjusting to entertaining

I knew it would eventually happen but I was not sure that it would happen during my first week. I know how to entertain. Put out the tapas, bring out the wine, have a great time. Snack when I see fit. I am a great hostess if I may say so myself. I remember when I first started out on WW many moon's ago that I waited to do that after I had been on the program for a bit. But lastnight I had company. And I really didn't clear my cabinet's from all the "unhealthy" foods before starting again because of the children. I am trying to watch my weight, not them. Anyway, I made sure that I ate before they showed up. I didn't want to be tempted to eat things that I knew I would feel guilty for later.

WEll, my plan worked. I was able to resist those bad foods and just stay on target. I had a glass of wine. Well not really, I do what I usually do. Pour it. Sip it only to look as if I am drinking it because some of the red wine here in Spain is really peppery and gives you heartburn afterwards. And Thank God that was the case last night. Even though I had 4 points before I drank the wine which happens to be 2 points per glass. Not huge glasses nope. Just a regular glass. And I still have those extra points for the week lying around. So even though I may feel as if I have eaten a tad bit too much chili (2points per 1 cup) I overall feel great.

Today I have some plans. I am meeting a friend at the comissary to show her how to make wise choices when it comes to shopping. She is on a budget and I want to show her how to look at lables and to show her that it's not always the really healthy things that you get *more bang for your point*. I am excited that I now have a person here besides my hubby that I can talk about things with concerning weight loss. I feel that with this friend she as more weight to lose then I do that when I do hit goal, she will still be working and it will help motivate me to begin the maintence and to keep working at it. I am happy about that.
