The Fashionista, in honor of the upcoming Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in NYC.
I have 22 points left to eat today, according to Brad.
Having joined Weight Watchers on Tuesday night, I got the WW (pronounced "DUB-ya DUB-ya") iPhone app on Brad, and I've been tracking my points. Gotta admit, I LOVE Dubya-Dubya, especially because I get 49 points. Considering fruits are 0 points, along with most veggies, I'm quite thrilled. My usual turkey sandwich? A mere 6.
What's trying, though, is eating out, especially at places not in the handy-dandy Dubya-Dubya dining-out guide. PB and I went to Wolfgang Puck's in Brookside earlier this week, and I ordered the Chinois Chicken Salad -- LOVED it! But I have no idea how to tabulate points, so I guesstimated the point values based on the ingredients. Does anyone have Dubya Dubya scores for locally owned establishments? That would rock the Casbah/Kazbah.
OK, time to get truthy. I weighed in Tuesday night at -- I can't believe I'm about to tell y'all this -- 230. That's five pounds more than the scales at the gym, but that's the tonnage I'm gonna stick with. I'll weigh in again next week, so keep your fingers crossed.
