Resolution Jeopardized?

Jon and I have started Weight Watchers. I have about 30 pounds to shed after having Sophie and Jon has some sympathy weight to get rid of too. We have done really well these last 2 weeks and have already lost weight! Jon has lost about 7 lbs and I've lost about 5.

My birthday is tomorrow and we have a tradition of going to PF Chang's for my birthday dinner (it's the only time we can sort of justify it). We usually eat all 3 courses, ending with the Great Wall of Chocolate--my most favorite dessert! So last night I was looking up the different parts of the meal and calculating the "Points", when to my horror, I discovered the terrifying amount of calories and fat in this chocolate wonder. Can you take a guess?

Let me tell you:

CALORIES - 2237 (oh gosh!)
FAT - 90 grams (are you kidding me???)

Well, my heart almost stopped thinking that I might not be able to enjoy this traditional indulgence. But something stopped my panic attack--another menu item. They also have a Great Wall of Chocolate MINI Dessert. Hallelujah! My year will not be a complete disappointment!

THREAT NEUTRALIZED!

We'll keep you posted on our weight loss efforts. I plan on being more swimsuit ready than I have ever been!

I have a bad habit of looking up the nutritional info for different restaurants so I know what's not quite so bad for me to eat. It's disgusting what you find! Ah hence why Americans who eat out all the time are fat/obese. Good luck with your resolution! You always look good. I don't think that Great Wall of Chocolate mini dessert will hurt ya :) Happy almost birthday! Enjoy it!

And yay for WW. I've been doing it for 3 months and have had good success so I'm sure you will do the same.
