Over Points + Extra Exercise = Successful Day

Okay, so twice this week (on days I hadn't planned to exercise) I went over points. What I am really proud of is that I made myself do unplanned exercise to get back down under my points for the day. On Wednesday I ate 2 unplanned biscuits with butter while preparing my kids' dinner and then had to hop on the elliptical for 65 minutes to burn them off. Let's say I learned that the biscuits are not worth having to skip my planned day off exercise. I had this little mantra going inside my head on the elliptical that went something like this "I hate those biscuits.":laugh: Then last night I ate some popcorn out of my daughter's bowl (hers had butter on it) and had to bundle up in 12 degree Chicago weather to walk the dog 15 minutes to stay under points. Lesson learned? I don't know. I am just proud I never let my days get so out of control this week that I couldn't salvage them with a little extra exercise. I am discovering I love my workout days because I get to eat more. And I LOVE to eat!
