Ihop is less nommy

Oxford got an IHOP and it was greatly anticipated because we don't really have any 24hour places here worth mentioning. And of course, pancakes. It opened Tuesday. Amanda and I went last night and I'm pretty proud of myself. However, I have to admit, eating healthy at IHOP just seems...wrong.

They do have a Smart Healthy menu or something like that. I got the grilled ginger balsmatic (however that's spelled) chicken with a side salad (light ranch and I dipped my salad versus dumping the whole little container in) and broccoli. I did ask for a pad of butter because the broccoli was tasteless. But a little butter and some pepper and it was much better. The chicken was really good actually. Has a ton of mushrooms, onions and diced tomatoes on it and it was moist.

My daughter, who is also on WW, got some wheat french toast with fake eggs and turkey bacon.

I didn't leave hungry but I did leave feeling a bit cheated. I wanted pancakes. And cheese fries. And a huge hamburger.

After getting home, I discovered Bri had cooked dinner. Chicken, baked, mashed potatoes and veggies. I didn't want to hurt her feelings so later on I hate a thigh and some veggies ...

OK I ADMIT IT! I had some mashed potatoes too...*sighs*

But all in all I still stayed within my alloted points for the day.

Now comes the weekend. That's the hard part. Wish me luck.
