My first obstacle was Friday night. Indian Food. Num, num, num. All those delicious spices and flavors.
- Successes: ate very little rice.
- Not so much: ate too much of everything else
- Result: felt very uncomfortably full all evening. The thing that is interesting here is that I ate what I would have considered a modicum amount in my previous eating life. Interesting…
Second obstacle: Olive Garden on Saturday.
- Successes: no breadsticks, no cream sauces, no dessert. And let me tell you, even typing the word Tiramisu gives me hot flashes. The only dessert, and I do mean only, that trumps Tiramisu is Creme Brulée. However, I was able to wrestle the demon to the floor and I prevailed.
- Not so much: You know, I ordered the beef short ribs and skipped the badly prepared risotto.
- Result: Came home and felt great. I had won the battle of the fattening dessert!
Third Obstacle: Breakfast on Sunday with extended family at Village Inn
- Successes: didn’t order one of those 1,500 breakfast platter or fruit juice.
- Not so much: Multigrain pancakes… of which I hate maybe half.
- Result: Topping the evening off with barbequed salmon over salad, my caloric intake was sill under 1500! Yeah!
I haven’t gotten on the scale or measured for a while. I’ll measure tonight and weight tomorrow. You know the best part of all of this: I truly am eating what I want. The Liv SXinney and cRave get me through every day.
We are a family addicted to the G-water (Liv SXinney). We drink it by the gallon. We are all noticing that we are losing weight, feeling better, and are in more control of what we eat. It is actually driving all of us to make healthier food choices.
