Today is my husband's birthday so we went out to celebrate tonight! His favorite restaurant is BD Mongolian BBQ so that's where we went. It's really hard to calculate points at places like that, so rather than stressing myself out over figuring exact points, I just tried to be smart. I filled my bowl with chicken, broccoli, pineapple, onions, chives, water chestnuts and then topped it with teriyaki sauce. It was so super yummy!! I didn't hardly even finish half of it. I find that my stomach must really be shrinking because I get full so fast these days. So then, I was trying to decide what to do for dessert. We are both trying to stay in points, but it is his birthday and we wanted to do something special. I've heard quite a few people talk about CherryBerry so we decided to head there for some low-fat dessert! I even looked up points on my Weight Watchers app and for the non-fat yogurt it was like 2points for a 1/2 cup. Granted, at a self serve place like CherryBerry, it's easy to overdo it with their big bowls that are just crying out to be filled to the top, but it's definitely a better option than some of the alternatives. I used the smaller bowl and filled it not even quite half full with the white chocolate frozen yogurt and topped it with a few graham cracker crumbs and a few chocolate chips. It was awesome and it felt like a huge splurge, but in reality, I think we did pretty well. Added bonus....today is National Frozen Yogurt Day and if you could show on your phone that you liked this particular franchise of CherryBerry on Facebook, it was half off!!! So the three of ate for like $6!! I don't know my exact point total for today, but I think I came in right about at my points for today and I'm definitely done consuming until tomorrow! What a fun birthday celebration!
