We Don't Diet

We tried a new restaurant this weekend and the food was just wonderful.




I had the shrimp and grits.



My guy had fried flounder with asparagus. We also had fried pickles as an appetizer. I had never heard of fried pickles and thought they were worth a try. They were interesting. We both had red wine and berry cobbler for dessert. Yes, we had dessert.

Here's what I brought to work today:




That's two bottles of water, carrots, a banana, yogurt, almonds and the He.althy Ch.oice Honey Ginger Chicken for lunch. I also had two hard boiled eggs before I left the house.

Something interesting happened over the weekend. I participated in an activity which I absolutely hate: I went shopping. I wanted to buy a casual dress for our dinner date. Why did I have to go to six different stores only to end up at the very first store that I went to? Why did every dress marked "medium" look too big on me? Hmmmm. And I'm wearing a suit today that would have been considered inappropriate just a year ago. Last year, the skirt hugged my hips too tightly and I had to keep pulling it down. Not today. Today, this skirt fits honey. It fits, I tell you!

Still not bathing-suit ready and I still haven't stepped on a scale but I'm very curious.

Have a great day.
