Some commentary on yesterday:

- I was a bit shocked at how many points the Peanut Butter Crackers were. It worked out to about a point a cracker. Of course, it's carbs and peanut butter, so I shouldn't be so surprised.
- I should probably check on the gumbo to see what variety they use. The one I had used okra as the thickener, which is usually a bit better for you than one that uses a classic rue.
- I'm am horribly out of shape when it comes to doing things like bowling. It was fun, but my body was obviously not used to it.

I am glad I stayed within my point total yesterday. Weekends are always a pain, and when I went out to play poker last night, I wondered if I'd be dipping into my flex points. The main key for me is getting out of the comfort habit of grabbing a milkshake about once a day. That will go a long way to cutting down on my caloric intake.
