Happy Wednesday all! I am glad to know I am not the only one who is still drooling over that Cheesy Sour Dough Pull Apart Bread that I showed you all yesterday. It really is as good as it looks, but, the thing about something that rich ~ you can really only eat a little without feeling the richness of it all.
When I woke up this morning, I realized I wasn’t successful at willing my chest cold to go away. Since it feels like someone is standing on my lungs, I decided to skip my am run and traded it in for a Starbuck’s….you know, lattes cure all colds lol.
Grande, Nonfat, Decaf Latte with Caramel drizzled on top (SF) – 3 points+
Today was lunch celebration #2 at BJ’s Brewery. I knew exactly what I was going to order before we headed out because I am IN LOVE with their Thai Shrimp Lettuce Wraps.
My 2nd goal was to go to BJ’s and not actually have a Pizookie ~ something that is almost possible to do when celebrating….but, I did it!
I may or may not have had a small slice of the BBQ Chicken Pizza appetizer (80,20, right) 
I started with their small plates Fresh Tomato & Mozzarella Salad. It was tasty, but, I think it would’ve been better with more tomatoes. (SF + 3 WPA for the cheese) – 5 points+
Then, I really did order the Thai Shrimp Lettuce Cups.
Grilled shrimp glazed with spicy Thai sauce, served on a bed of Napa cabbage, cilantro, carrots and red onion, all tossed with a fresh, minty mango salsa and sprinkled with toasted coconut. Served in butter lettuce cups with a spicy Thai sauce for dipping.
100% Simply Filling or 7 points+ for the entire plate. I think I need to re-create this recipe!
The Husband had to work late so we ended up meeting at Chipotle for dinner. I balanced out my day with a Chipotle Salad Bowl which I consider a success since all I really wanted to eat was chips and guacamole for dinner. (I did have a few of his chips for the record.)
You can determine the points+ of anything you put in your bowl by visiting Chipotlefan.com. My entire bowl is 8 points+.
I count this bowl as Simply Filling because everything in it ~ is!
- romaine
- fajita veggies
- chicken
- 2 types of salsa ~ corn & pico de gallo
- I skipped the cheese, beans and rice because I didn’t “need” them
Don’t worry ~ I will be back in the kitchen cooking again next week when my appetite/energy returns and all the celebrations are over.
For now, I am off to catch some zzzz’s.
Night all!
Those shrimp cups looks amazing!!
Feel better soon, Danica! What a trooper to feel so badly, and still keep us motivated by keeping up with your “daily”. You’re so motivating and real. Keep up the amazing work you do! I so look forward to hearing from my “WW Buddy” each day.
Those shrimp wraps look amazing! Hope you’re feeling better soon.
The shrimp looks delic! I haven’t had Chipotle in so long, now I’m craving it 😛 Feel better soon!
I do think you should re-create the Thai Shrimp Lettuce Cups!
Those shrimp wraps look out of this world! Feel better soon…I think coffee can totally cure what ails you 😉
Those Thai Lettuce Cups look amazing!
Get some good rest. Push fluids. Let your body recover! And thanks for running this blog!
Thx for sharing your eating out adventures. They just opened a BJ’s near us and the menu was overwhelming. Now after reading your post and seeing the Thai cup photos I know what I will be ordering when we go there.
Also haven’t been to Chipotles in a long time. I’m guessing you used the 2 salsa’s you listed as dressing? I heart their vinegarette but haven’t calculated the points yet.
I just found your site today. I sure have enjoyed thumbing thru all you different posts. Thx for sharing with us!
Hi Cassie,
Yes, I use the salsas and sometimes guacamole as my dressing. I find ordering my Chipotle bowl this way has enough flavor that I do not need the dressing.
