...My first restaurant visit.
Eating out will always be a concern to me because the giant cheese burger on a bulkie roll with sweet potato fries will always tempt/taunt me. It calls my name, and too often (now in the past) I would succumb.
I was like Alice, eating the cookie just because it said "eat me" -- and then she became ten feet tall.
But I was wide.
Anyway, I was familiar with the restaurant, so I knew going in they had plenty suitable choices, so I made a decent choice. And I am happy with it.
So often I eat "diet foods" that I don't find tasty, which leads me to eat things that are terrible for me. You know, filled with fat, loaded with sodium and lets not even talk about the calories.
I am a foodie. I admit it. I like to eat, I enjoy eating.
So now I need to find that balance. The balance of eating food that I can enjoy, but won't sabotage my new lifestyle.
So today's shout out goes to multiple people: Tricia, Tina and Dori all for sending me some recipes that are low in calories, carbs, fat, sodium and high in YUM.
And to start living my the word of Socrates: "Worthless people live only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live"
Always,
-K
What I ate today:
Cornflakes with a banana and milk

Salad with a tbs of dressing
Half a turkey sandwich with lettuce
6 potato chips
Chex mix - you got to make this yourself, you have so much more control over what goes into it.
Carrots with the oh so delicious hummus
American chop suey
Watermelon
Elliptical/Biked it for 35 minutes
