Did not go as planned!
Well I had hoped to clean the house (dust and Vacume) but got sidetracted and cleaned out the storage closets instead. Had lunch with hubby at home planned to have chicken for dinner. Not so much! While doing the running around with the kids and the other household stuff. The dinner hour (late as usual) creeped up on me. Me and Hubby decided to eat seafood. So each of us picked up a kid and met at the resturant.
Got there starved. And the waitress sets down the hushpuppies YUMMM! And the butter container with the menus. Already knew what I wanted, she took her time coming back. Before I knew it 3 hushpuppies with butter gone and I was reaching for another when Hubby asks now how are you going to post that. Realizing what it did I stopped and had him put the evil butter and hushpuppies on the other side of the table. You know out of my reach! He is so helpful. Normally the whole bowl and 3 things of butter would have easily made it in before I would have realized.
Well Then I ordered a salad and crablegs. I did not use the 3 containers of butter she brought out or nor did I eat the coldslaw that can with each plate (love coldslaw but very high in cals). Did not finish the crablegs, and could not finish the salad. Yeah my stomach must be shrinking! About 3 weeks ago I could have easily ate all the crablegs, salad, coldslaw and hushpuppies.
I knew the cals were going to be high today. So came home and worked out. So now I am tired sweaty and bloging late…..oh well . I will be picking myself up and dusting off tomarrow. Too tired now.
I did get my water in!

You done good…
Me and hushpuppies…hmmm…it ain’t pretty.

I made a big pot of brunswich stew yesterday…and I kept thinking about hushpuppies.
Guess we both are Carolina girls: )
Let me repeat it again, you done good!
Good job on pushing the hushpuppies away and limiting the butter and leaving the coleslaw.
See you already are making changes.
It just takes time.
Also you got all your water in - thats awesome.
Heres to an even better day tomorrow!
Goodnight

congrats on a successful restaurant meal. i have yet to master that one. we eat out a lot too when we have the kids, because it gets late before you know it. and you even worked out to balance off the meal. you’ve got some discipline!! have a good thursday!
You made such good choices in the restaurant. It seems to be such a struggle for so many of us.
I’ve learned to go the restaurants website, or my friend suggested calorieking.com and find out the calorie counts before ordering
It helps!!
High fives to you for eating healthy!! glad your stomach is shrinking…now thats PROGRESS!!!
Good job and HIGH FIVERRRRRRRRRS!!! I hope you hugged your husband for helping you. Well done on pushing the plate away when your full instead of eating it all too. Little tip for those kind of days when plan goes out the window…
Keep a small ice chest with you at all times. You can use those freezer ice pack thingies to keep stuff cool. This is great when you are away from home and/or to keep in vehicle. Get lots of baggies (takes up less room than containers). I am in LOVE with the snack baggy size. Peel and cut up fresh fruit of choice, i.e., oranges, apples (skin on for the apple), grapefruit… handful of almonds, handful of raisens, fresh blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries, snack packs of sugar free jello (protein there), snack packs of fat free cottage cheese… stuff like that. Portion sizes of whole grain crackers. I say handfuls and portions because if you take the whole bag you are more likely to EAT the whole bag. Stuff like this in the ice chest. This is a life saver when plans go haywire and you are starving.
Huggggggggggggs and keep up the wonderful attitude buddy,
Shan
