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!
