Chicken instead of Cheese!

I know this is a small thing but I struggle with taking baby steps so I'm pleased with my choice at lunch.

My girlfriend and I always go to lunch at various Mexican restaurants, I typically have the cheese enchilada with rice and beans. Not great when you're watching your calories. However this restaurant serves very small servings which is one of the reasons I like it so much. I never leave feeling overly full. Anyway, I was cruising around the database before we had lunch today to see how much a cheese enchilada is....WOW! Needless to say I decided I should choose something else.

At lunch I was discussing with her that I'm counting calories, etc. and she said she was too. I told her well our usual cheese enchilada is way over what want to spend on calories for lunch and will put me over for the day since I've already planned and logged my dinner. So...we opted for a chicken enchilada. Now don't get me wrong, I am in no way convinced that's the best option either but I know there were about 1/2 the calories and at least that much less fat then the cheese enchilada.

So here's to me, baby steps. I can do this! :drinker:
