Progress so far…
Good news, though! I am down close to 10 pounds in less than 2 weeks! I know that it’s not going to keep up at that rate (at least it better not!) but it’s still a good start. I’ve cut out my bad snacking. I still snack, but on fruit and veggies now. I do have some sweet snacks for those cravings, but it’s the 100 calorie snack packs or fat free pudding.
I did have a challenge this week because we took MM to dinner for her birthday. The girl has expensive taste for a 10-year-old - she chose Bonefish. I did relatively well. I did enjoy the Saucy Shrimp appetizer. It lives up to it’s name because the shrimp are drowned in a rich cream sauce. I didn’t overdo it though. I also only had one slice of bread. My main course was the Pistachio-encrusted Rainbow Trout. I doubled up on veggies and had them put the sauce on the side. I ate all the veggies first, so I was relatively full by the time I got to the fish. Another good choice! YAY ME!! 
Dessert was my weak spot though. MM ordered Key Lime Pie, which I am physically incapable of passing up! I had about 3 or 4 bites. Yet, even with that night out, I still lost, so I’d say it was a success.
Eating out again tonight and then going to a friend’s tomorrow to hang out for a while, so I’m sure there will be challenges there, but I’m determined to be good! I can’t negate the progress I’ve made so far.
