Survived & Conquered Family BBQ

[o0OSusieO0o]

It was Memorial day weekend. My alcoholic brother (in AA) visiting from Alabama.

I was unusually outgoing due to lots of caffeine & 2 glasses of wine, lol.
Mary & I munched on almonds for table snack (ignored pretzels & potato chips)
Ate deviled eggs, green & black olives, veggies & dip and one BBQ pork strip each.
Dinner we ate slider burger, took off bun, and some fruit.
Also ate a flavorful crab snack wrapped in baby romaine.
We skipped potato salad, egg rolls and dessert.

Did not gain any weight!! Still 140!!!

My 4 brothers and I, lined up by age from left to right. By end of this year we will be ages 50,52,53,54 & 55

  HOORAY, Susie!!!

Family gatherings, like Memorial Day BBQs, can be especially challenging.
And you and Mary flew right through it!

Congratulations, to you both!

Tony is right, family gatherings can be so challenging.  You and Mary seemed to breeze through it.  WELL DONE

Great job.  I wish I could say I had as easy a time.  I went to a bbq, and other than the meat (hamburgers, hot dogs, sausage, chicken) EVERYTHING they served was loaded with carbs.  I did my best, and skipped the buns, but I must admit to a little potato salad and an ear of corn on the cob.  Damage was minimal.  Back on the wagon since.
