Feedback:
I had a ton of food packed for going out to my parents' new condo. I also looked online ahead of time at the restaurant and found some healthy choices. I was very tempted by my fianee's Widowmaker pizza and I had one slice, which I enjoyed. The restaurant did not have nutritional information and I couldn't find any online.

For dinner, I really wasn't starving at the kids' pizza party, but it smelled good and that is one of my trigger foods. I resisted the cake they had and I intended to go to the gym after.

However, we both fell asleep because we were totally wiped out. I guess staying up too late last night assembling a file cabinet and setting up a new litter box and a new water dish for the cat sort of wore us out. (OK, well I was mostly supervising the whole thing!)

Then my son came home with a steak to cook. He wanted to go out to eat, but I just couldn't tackle a third meal out in one day, especially after using so many weekly points yesterday. I just told him to grab some takeout and come home and we would sit together. He came back with this $11 steak (who buys that?) and started cooking it while we watched the Star Wars movie where Anakin Skywalker goes bad. Then he decided to go to his girlfriends' right in the middle of everything. My fiancee didn't miss a beat saying "we will eat the steak, you go ahead." I guess it's a good thing we weren't having a dinner out for his benefit since he up and left in the middle. Sometimes you have to stick up for yourself (not going out to eat) because neither of us were hungry, we spent a lot on food the last 2 days and I really didn't want to spend the points on it.

Then I thought we should have just bought our own steaks last night and had them at home. Why not? It would probably cost less and we would get exactly what we wanted. So now I think once or twice a month, we will do that.
