WW cookies n cream ice cream bar - 2 pts
WW toffee ice cream bar - 2 pts

2 points for one damn cookie!!!!!!! I had to have it though. Someone bought cookies from Fuddruckers which I can't find points values for so I'm not eating one. But I was able to find the point value for one of the Mother's cookies and since I have no snacks for the afternoon I figured I could have 2 pts worth of cookie. Still hungry. On the bright side, I have like 19 points left for dinner. I think I'll be ok!

Ok, now I have to drink water. I need more of those little Crystal Light packets, dangit!

Ok, starting.

Oh yeah - and last night I put semi-sweet chocolate chips on my popcorn. In part I'm sure because I knew I wouldn't want to write that today, so I'm writing it just because of that.
