Joined my family for dinner tonight...have to share...

So my brother is in town for a visit with his wife and 3 kids.
We decided since our visits are so few and far between that all of the adults would meet for a nice dinner together.
I sit down and everyone has beer in chilled mugs (beer is my favorite!!!  ) I have not had a beer since I started this plan 10 days ago.
Instead I ordered a gin, tonic with lime juice.  It was delightful!  I had water with lemon on the side.

For dinner, I wanted to stay on track and every meal was $19.99 on up, breaded, fried, popovers on the side etc....
On the burger menu I saw that they had grilled chicken breast sandwich, smothered in mushrooms, covered in pesto mayo...
I kindly asked the waiter if I could have that WITHOUT THE BUN...and broccoli on the side. He said he would have to charge me an extra $1 for a veggie instead of fries of mashed potatoes.  I gladly paid the extra $1, My total food bill, $8.99!  It was DELICIOUS!!

I feel so great right now and finally feel in control, I did not leave the restaurant just stuffed as I have in the past... Not weighing in again til Tues.  I cannot wait.  I even have energy to exercise tonight.
I am off to put in the "Walk Away the Pounds" DVD...Have a great evening everyone!

Great job!!! That took some determination and you did it! You should be very proud of yourself. Plus, your meal was cheaper, tastier, and healthier than everyone else's! I bet you walked out of there feeling better than anyone else, too!

Can you tell me how to add the weight loss ticker like you have to my posts?
The weight loss scale?
Thank you!
