I am actually going to splurge!! HAHAHA!

TamTastic

I rarely do this because I am just SO focused and determined while on this journey...(I have GREAT will power!!!)

BUT, today is my 5 year wedding anniversary and I am going out to dinner tonight and enjoying myself!!

I haven't "splurged" too often just because I am doing things differently this time and really don't feel deprived...BUT, there have been times that I don't stress as much (Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc).

So, I just got back from the gym, where I burned 750 cals (It actually read 875 on the machine but I always lower it by at least 100 or so because of inconsistencies), and I am eating my fiber one cereal for breakfast and a light lunch and I am tonight, I am going to have a nice Italian dinner!!!

I may or may not go over on calories....and it may or may not affect my next weigh-in on Thursday but it is what it is. I am down 90 lbs.....and will get right back on track tomorrow.

Happy anniversary, I hope you and your husband have a great time!! Oh and splurge a little for me too would ya? Lol we have a birthday party to go to today for my husband's uncle, and any family function they have I end up starving because I am very picky, and I refuse to eat stuff that looks like that!!!!:flowerforyou:

Congratulations on your five years! I think you have every right to enjoy a meal with your husband. You've obviously planned for it, so you have nothing to feel guilty about. Have fun!

And think of the calories you'll be buring after dinner.

Happy Anniversary babe! Mr. Tam's a lucky guy!!

Splurge... it's okay. To be honest... The weekends or days that I do splurge I lose more that week because my body is freaking out that I'm eating all this food and my metabolism speeds up.

Enjoy yourself and congrats!

I think you have the perfect attitude. After all, you've made a total life-style change. It's important to continue your journey, but also to live along the way. Have a great evening, and thanks for all the support you give to others on this site. You are a great example of how to do this for all of us:flowerforyou:

SO!

I had a wonderful anniversary dinner....ready to salivate???

I had a glass of pinot grigio! (MMM MMM MMM)
and a little Italian bread

I had an app of spinach and wild mushroom crepes

NEXT I had the Shrimp Bel Gio! Delicious jumbo shrimp tossed with shallots basil garlic then flamed with vermouth wine marscapone cheese with a touch of lemon and tomato served on a bed of saffron risotto. (that was from their menu! hehe)

And for dessert, I actually resisted the homemade, fresh tiramisu! (I know Jo!!)....BUT after that heavier dinner I wasn't used to, I wanted something lighter...so I had the limoncello gelato! Oh my goodness!! It was SOOO GOOD!!

And the good thing about this restaurant is that it's portions are normal for one person.


So, there you have it. Tami splurged! *gasp!!* hahahahaha!

Steffykins

That all sounds so amazing!!!! Yummy! I hope you had a wonderful anniversary :flowerforyou:
