16 Points
Ellen’s doctor gave us the go-ahead to come down the shore. We spent the afternoon with my parents and sister in Belmar, then arrived at Ellen’s family’s house in Ocean Beach (outside Lavallette) for dinner.
For dessert, we went to Dairy Queen and I cashed in my secret stash of Weight Watchers points. July’s ‘Blizzard of the Month’ is the Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookie Treat. This tasty, somewhat patriotic holiday treat was 16 points—more than half my regular daily allowance—but I’m going to say it was worth it.
Now if you’ll excuse me, Bailey and I need to walk to Cape May and back to work off those calories.
