Super Bowl Feast

The Super Bowl. Unless your team happened to make it to the big game (and lets face it, they never do unless you are a Pats fan) the Super Bowl is all about two things:

Food and Commercials.

Shannon and I sat at the table this morning making the grocery list for the week, counting points and looking up labels... it's all very daunting and a very real reminder that losing weight and being healthy is hard. We started talking about the Super Bowl and as usual, I had her schedule wrong and thought she worked that night. :-) Then we started the discussion about what to eat for our Super Bowl BASH! (Mimi is coming over)

Everything we considered ordering or making that you would think of as classic game day foods were out of the question as soon as we scanned them with the New Weight Watchers scanner app or searched for them in the tracker. A few examples:

Pizza Hut Supreme Pizza-10 points per slice (Or almost half of Shannon's points for a day)
Wings- 10 points for 5 pieces
Dr Pepper- 12.0z cans are 4 points (I won't divulge how many cans I would typically drink at this sort of funtion)

Anyway, needless to say we decided to make our own food and came up with much more controllable point values. We are making our own pizza and splurging a little bit on what we refer to as "Shaw Dip" (cream cheese and salsa) and Diet Coke or Diet Dp. Very little damage done and all recordable on the points tracker.

What are you eating on Sunday?
