So I'm still here -- I don't always update on the weekends, but I can tell you I was good. Friday night was tough -- heck, the whole weekend was tough... but I survived! Thanks to my amazing husband really. He kept me on track and dealt with my supreme crabbiness. (Sorry babe!)
Friday night we went to this amazing restaurant - Iridescence. The food is amazing. So trying to be the best I could be without bringing a packet of my powdered chili mac and asking the chef to warm it up, I ended up ordering this beet salad and a side of asparagus. When the waitress described this beet salad, it sounded like mounds and mounds of different beets on some greens --- but yeah, this is a fancy place so that means dainty, pretty presentations. It was delicious, but I had about 4 halves of little beets, with some arugala -- It was tasty though!!! It was topped with this cracker type thing and this amazing soft cheese --- I did "cheat" and have about half the cracker and a couple bites of the cheese -- but I had control and didn't eat it all. I had my side of asparagus too which was good. No yummy drinks for me - just diet coke and water. I even stayed away from the fancy bread bowl. I was impressed with myself, but Kelly still managed to keep me in check by not being too proud that I still had some cracker and cheese... LOL Love ya girl!
Saturday -- another tough day. We went to my dad's house. He's a great cook and always makes yummy yummy food so I knew it would be rough. I brought all my supplements, including chili mac for dinner. Kinda tortured myself because we just had food network on while we were there --- ahhh shoot me now. And that's where my craving for a calzone started. lol But I just had my dinner while they enjoyed these amazing looking chicken breasts and potatoes. Stayed strong.
Sunday -- the crankiness was coming through strong at first. haha When I start admitting that I'm cranky, you know it's for real. But it wound up being a great day. We went bowling again (I had a bad day though!) and then we visited with family and stayed in for dinner -- Steve made everyone burgers and I had some soup and roasted veggies. It was definitely a nice call for him to offer to cook rather than us going out. We stayed in and played a board game.
Today I'm feeling good so far. Hoping that at 2:00 I feel the same way. That's typically where I start crashing at work. I've got this....right??? :)
Happy St. Patty's Day!
