Day 16

Breakfast
Fiber One - dark chocolate almond fiber bar (yummy) & diet coke. I love these things, but had to stop eating them. They were making me more than regular!
Lunch
- Turkey Sandwich, ww chocolate cake, 100 calorie pringles
Snack
- 1 apple
Dinner
- Olive Garden-
  • side salad- with no Olive Garden dressing on it. Did you know that their yummy Italian dressing is 180 calories per serving with 8 grams of fat and 21% of your daily sodium intake- DANG!
  • 1 Bread stick - I was the most proud of this. I mean those bread sticks call to me, and I restrained myself. Ryan had more than I did!
  • Main course- this linguine marinara stuff. It said it was their lowest cal dish on the menu, so I tried it. It was not great, so I only had half of it.
  • Dessert- small chocolate yogurt from TCBY, now this stuff owns me. But a small cup is only 155 calories, for my diet that is usually what my desserts run at night, so I felt good about this choice as well.

Overall, I am so proud of myself for this trip out to eat. My biggest problem with diets and eating out is portion control. I mean yeah I will order a salad, but then eat the whole thing and then lick the bowl to make sure I got all of the yummy dressing. So overall, good day. I did manage to squeeze a workout in at 10:30 last night. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and burned 215 calories.

At the Olive Garden, you might want to try the grilled steak/chicken/vegies on 2 skewers, leave seasoning off. DELICIOUS! Nicole gave me a $50 gift certificate to PF Changs, you talking about sodium city, my gracious, I pulled up the menu/nutritional and I don't know,it'll be hard. That's sweet of her to do that.

You and your midnight rendevous with the Elliptical are probably making Bill pretty jealous.
