DARN IT!

I made a critical error at Chili's for lunch today.  I underestimated how much the PPV was for the chips.  They used to be 13 points for the whole basket.  They are now 27 PPV's :(  I wouldn't have had ANY!  I am ticked off at myself.  This is a PERFECT example of how guesstimating will bite us right in the end!

Any day with WPPA left if a GOOD day!

I went to Jason's Deli for lunch and did a good job sticking to my plan.  The pizza gave me some grief at dinner :(  I am still having lots of back pain left over from last week :p  I am ready to be all better :p  Would you like some more whine with that cheese???

Tomorrow is going to be a better day.  I have 31 WPPA left.  I have a my church Christmas party tomorrow night.  I have got to come up with a plan for that one.  I am planning on a bang up success story to tell y'all about :)
