Monday Night Check In

This weekend was a lot of fun. The boyfriend's dad, sister, and sister's friend were in town for the Duke vs. Carolina game. There was a decent amount of eating out like I knew there would be, but I feel like I made good choices.

Friday night we went to a local BBQ joint called Bullock's BBQ. The food is basically southern deliciousness. The old me would have ordered fried chicken, french fries, and hush puppies. The french fries alone would have been 10 WW pts--definitely not worth it. The new me ordered chopped BBQ, corn, and green beans. I'm sure the green beans were cooked southern style with fat, but it was definitely the lesser of two evils. Their hush puppies are delicious, and they just plop a whole basket down in front of you. I had a few and then moved the basket so I wouldn't be tempted to keep eating them.

Saturday for lunch I ate a chicken wrap at home instead of getting take out with the boyfriend and his dad. Also on Saturday I did my first Week 2 Couch to 5k workout. It definitely kicked my butt but I finished it. My running is pretty slow but right now I am focusing on just getting through each work out. My goal is to run a 5k, not finish under a certain time.

The Duke vs Carolina game was definitely the highlight of my weekend.



Duke 82, UNC 50! Lets hope Duke can continue playing like that during the ACC Tournament. Go Duke!

  2. I prefer nc state both academically and athletically. They are the underdog so it's a true victory for all mankind with they are victorious. BBQ joints are definitely hard to make good choices but it seems like you did the best you could. Woot!

  3. Thanks guys! I'll pull for State after Duke. They are for sure better than UNC or Wake. I'll definitely want State to beat Clemson on Thursday night. Who doesn't like the under dog?

  4. Good for you with your food choices. The BBQ place we used to go to all the time had the best fried Oreos and I couldn't go there without eating them. Fortunately, we moved, so we don't go there anymore.
