I feel good about the weekend. On Saturday we had to be up at 5:30 to go to Natalie's Dance competition and there was no time for food. So after we watched her ( nodding off before her turn...) we had an hour before Harrison had his basketball double header and headed in search of a sit down meal. We found a restaurant up the street that we had a coupon for and I chose a chicken, avacado, mushroom and cheese omlet. When it came it had 2 generous slices of munster cheese on top and looked wonderful, but large. I gave the edges to Zues, and took a bite, boy I do not like mushrooms, but they were easy to remove for the most part, and I gave those to Gary. I peeled back the cheese to one side, and ate just bites of cheese with half the omlet. I kept hearing something my sister said once... You have already paid for it whether you eat the whole thing or not" . So basically do I want to pay for it twice by eating more than makes me full? I kept thinking of that as I ate. ( See, I DO listen LOL) Eating it all because it was paid for is just plain dumb. The money is gone either way. I even left the deep fried hash browns - ok maybe they were oven fried the 2nd time, but I left them alone, I didn't even have 1. I can't say I would have been so good if it had been red potatoes with onions, but that wouldn't have been so fattening either.
When we got home, we took a much needed nap, and so no mid-meal. When we got up, I made a salad with the guts from some leftover tacos and an orange.
I had in the freezer a package of Edwards, Key Lime Pie, and knew I wouldn't throw it out, so I made a conscience choice to have a slice ( 330 calories, 16 gr fat, 11 of which were saturated, 33 gr of sugar and 4 gr protien. I topped it with rasberries and enjoyed it. There is one left, and yes, I will eat that the same way, but I also know I will not buy anymore.
Today I got up at 9:30, a bit later than I want to be getting up, but with daylight savings time going into effect, i will get up earlier as the week progresses. I started my morning with a half a glass of reservitrol, and an english muffin with sugar free jam.
At 11:30 I had a dry bowl of cherrios for 70 calories, and a cup of cut strawberries, plain. Then went to church from 1-4pm. When I got home, I had a salad, with tomatoes and a 1/4 c blue cheese crumbles, and a coke zero.
That is where I am in my day.... feeling good,

well... it's true. Once you order it... you're paying for it weather you eat it all right there or take it home.. or feed it to the dog. GOOD that you CHOSE not to eat more than you really needed.
