Tough/Good Day Thursday
Thursday I went to my friends Grandmothers funeral. I didn't have a lot of control over my food, but I think I did pretty darn GREAT! They had the traditional church lady luncheon which consisted of pot roast and all the high calorie/high fat food that I need to stay away from! I did well...1 small piece of meat, some fresh fruit (not covered in creamy sauce), salad (with a very tiny bit of dressing - the healthiest one I could find) and about 3 bites of angel food cake. I really kept myself in check and that made me proud. Later, we all went out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant...UGGG! That is a really tough place to eat healthy. I had stopped at Barnes & Noble to pick up the Biggest Loser Success Secrets book and ran across a great find...the book is called...Eat This, Not That! It breaks down all restaurant food and also guides you on what foods from both restaurants and the store to avoid. Wasn't planning to buy 2 books, but I think this book will definitely help me to learn about all the foods that I was continually eating that are AWFUL!
Example...Outback Steakhouse...Aussie Fries...2900 Calories! Can you believe that???????? Holy CRAP!
Sometimes my friends and I go out after our mothers of multiples meeting (usually 9 or 10 pm) and we head to a place called Granite City and have their version of Aussie Fries. I can't believe I put that into my body so late and then go home and go to bed! No wonder I am so heavy!
I am going in the right direction...eating better and making discoveries about what I am doing WRONG!!!
I think I am on board to get healthy and lose weight!
Yeah Me!!!!!
