Survival

Today was ROUGH to say the least!  Partially because I had to get up early, partially because it's day 4 of this sugar detox and partially because I was surrounded by carbs (pasta, breadsticks, and chocolate cake!) not to mention the "snack shop" was just steps from my cubicle.  Definition of snack shop? A pile of candy, cookies, muffins, chips, etc.....SUCKED!!

Anyway, today I ate a LOT of pumpkin chili and to stave off the cravings, I had the "healthy heart" nut mix and an ENTIRE container of yellow cherry tomatoes!

But guess what?  I made it through, I survived!  Not one tiny slip and tonight I'm going to bed SUPER proud!!

Breakfast - pumpkin chili

Second snack - cherry tomatoes

Dinner - 3 eggs, mushrooms, onion, and garlic scramble

Oh!!!! And yesterday I had quite an experience with a restaurant in savage.

I planned to go out to dinner with one of my best girlfriends and one of our favorite places is Buffalo Tap.  I reviewed the menu online before going and talked to Tina and we'd decided on grilled chicken, steamed veggies, and a side salad.  We arrived and ordered and the waitress tells me they don't have steamed, grilled or any other kind of vegetables except the various higher calorie salad offerings at which she smirked and made a snide comment about them not being a healthy restaurant.  I ordered the Cobb salad with balsamic vinegrette and got on with my night.

I survived cheese curds, mini corn dogs, and the fried breadstick that came with my salad!  It was a great evening and I woke up this morning having a "skinny day"

Happy Thursday!  Bring on the weekend!!
