Saturday night dinner at Red Lobster
HA HA...so laughing at Libby calling us out about no posts to the blog. I do have a few things to share. Tonight Sultan and I decided to go out to dinner because we haven't been out in a while so we decided on Red Lobster. I knew this morning that we were going so I had plenty of time today to go on their website and see what would be my best options for dinner. Normally Sultan and I would go all out and order the lobster and spinach artichoke dip but after seeing all the calories, sodium, and fat I immediately knew that I couldn't do it. Sultan has been very supportive during this whole weight loss thing and said you know what let's just get the chilled shrimp. He even went as far as moving the bread basket away from me so I couldn't see it but you know what I didn't crave it or even want it. I had a salad with salmon and the Walt's Shrimp and brocolli. I didn't think I could have the shrimp but after reviewing the nutritional facts it was fine to have. No dessert and no alcohol. And I was not full. Satisfied. I even bought some of my food home. I'm learning. I was busy today with meetings at church but I packed food so I could eat so I wouldn't want to stop somewhere and be tempted. It takes extra time to plan but I know now its worth it. No gym in the past two days but I gotta get in there tomorrow after church. Hope everyone is well and we are doing this. DIVA POWER !!!!

Freda, I am proud of you and your willpower. Keep it going. I am working on that now. It's hard.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Freda!!! Eye on the prize...
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing when I eat out. Some things that "appear" to be lite are VERY heavy on calories!
