Preparing for Valentine's Dinner

It's that time of the year again. The tradition of buying over priced flowers and having fancy dinners for Valentine's Day. This year, me and the hubby will be spending it with another couple at a newly opened some kinda fancy resto in Marikina.
If you ask me, Php 2,500.00 is quite pricey for a sit down dinner, but Hubby says maybe its worth a try since there has been many great review on the place.
Being on weight watchers, I called the resto in advance and inquired about the Valentine Dinner. Here are the choices with weight watchers points:

Appetizer: mushroom poppers 6 pcs : 3 pts
Soup: cream of asparagus abt 1/2 c : 3 pts
salad. : mango and crab salad 1 serving, 1/2 c : 3pts
Main course: beef tenderloin medallion : 7 pts
Salmon steak 4 oz. :7 pts
Shrimp Thermidor. : 18 ( not so sure with this)
Dessert: mango flambé - points I have no idea honestly and didn't bother researching lol
Glass of wine : 2

I will probably be having the wine, soup, salad and the beef for a total of 15 points... I know it's a lot but if they let us order something else besides the set menu, I'll probably order a la carte.

Weight watchers is really a lot work. What makes it effective and most days easy is when you plan your meals. Will blog tomorrow about what I actually have for dinner. Will also work double time at the gym to be able to afford a nice dinner tomorrow :)

In the meantime, here's what I had today:

Breakfast:
Coffee w/o sugar :0
Mangoes : 2

Boxing for 1 hour (mod exercise): plus 4 points

Lunch
1 c rice: 4
1 pc sardine: 1
Tuna 1/2 c: 3
2 pcs chicken drumstick : 2

1 pandesal with spread : 3
Coke zero:0
Watermelon : 2
Dinner
1/2 c rice : 2
Tuna 1/2 c: 3
Eggplant 1/2 c cooked in 1 tsp oil: 1
Kimchi : o

Total points consumed: 23 pts minus 4 (from boxing): total for today 19pts

will have a cup of diet coco later from Swiss miss: 0 pt!
Love weight watchers!!!!!
