Avacados have HOW MUCH FAT??

Okay, so even though avacados are a fruit, they have a huge amount of fat in them, folks.  Just FYI, because you never know who needs this information.  We went to Chipotle today for lunch, and like usual, I got guacamole.  12g of fat, my friends, 12 grams!!  In one little serving!  I was floored.  Of course, I didn't know that until this evening when I was finally tracking everything that I'd scarfed down during the day.  Oh my beloved guacamole, how could you do this to me!?  Madre Dios, help me, por favor!!

Okay, enough with the overdramatization...

In other earth-shattering news, I have hit a huge change in Weight Watchers.  It's not an unexpected change.  I knew it was going to be coming, but I just didn't know it was going to be coming so soon.

My points totals have changed from 32 points per day to 30. 

GASP!!!

I know, I know, I about fell out of my chair when I saw that, too.  In fact, I took the Anakin-Skywalker-becomes-Darth-Vader-and-has-been-told-that-he's-just-killed-his-wife pose, with both fists raised defiantly to the heavens and shouting, "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" with a single pale beam of light shining down on me and my utter disbelief that this was truly happening.

Oh, sorry.  Evidently I'm not done with being a drama queen.  My apologies.

I know it may seem like a little thing to you, but 2 points is huge!  That about 120 less calories of chocolate candy ice cream nutriciously-sound foods that I get to eat in a day.  And I'm a little sad to say goodbye.

But, like I said, I knew this day was coming, and it's a good thing.  It means that I'm losing weight and to continue to lose more weight I need to start eating a little less everyday. 

So, senor guacamole, your 12 grams of fat were absolutly no help today!  No gracias for you!!  In fact, you helped me eat all of 45 points today.  (I'm sure it had nothing to do with the chips, burrito bowl, chow mein, walnut shrimp, or sweet & spicy chicken breast that I had as well.) 

Thankfully, I've exercised, and though I've already consumed all of my weekly points (isn't that what the weekend is for, though?!), I still have 4 activity points left over!

For chips and guac!

D'oh!!
