    We went to Red Lobster. I had 3 stuffed mushrooms (appetizer). For the entree the 1lb. snow crab legs with roasted potatoes and corn cob. I also had one biscuit. If I'm not drinking wine all I drink is water. LOL!

    I took the side ceasar salad home for lunch today.

    If there where a food that you could make free of all calories, fat, carbs and so on, what would it be? Mine would probably be Pizza or Lasagna.:love:

    Hey on a side note I was on chit chat... the other day and the topic was what does the person above you smell like and I saw your profile pic was stumped so I wrote bricks since they are not in the pic or something like that. Sorry I couldn't think of what to say.:flowerforyou:

    You did great, but don't get freaked out if you retain lots of water. I enjoyed crab last weekend and fought the water retention due to the high sodium in the crab. Drinks lots and lots of water

    Ok . I made it through the weekend with NO alcohol!!!! Yes!!! We went out to dinner and my husband order 2 cocktails and I was sooooo tempted to give in but I stayed strong. My sister even thought I caved in but I didn't.

    Saturday my eating was not healthy but i stayed within my calorie goals. Sunday was better.

    Since some of y'all are talking about Wine... I found several wine based cocktails with no added sugar. I believe 1 serving has 70-120 calories, (carried by brand). They're amazing!

    I have been really excited about my girls weekend at the beach but I am worried also with all the dining out and treats. I am packing some healthy snacks and know we will be doing lots of walking. Just trying to stay on track and it does worry me. Ugggg it just can be frustrating.

    That is always so stressful for me knowing I have a fun outing and struggling with myself to stay focused or jump off the cliff. Normally I always jump off a cliff. But I am trying to train my mind that there is always going to be some party, holiday, outing, fun with friends and family and i have to learn to do everything in moderation regardless.

    You can do this. Stay focused on your goal!

    I enjoyed the trip to the island and I did eat on track but still you never know how places cook the food. Also with seafood there is lots of sodium. I am back to knowing my food is prepared correctly because I make it and drinking loads of water. This week is a wash for me I am sure but it will get me back on track!

    You got this. Like you said drink tons of water. And personally i dont think u can go wrong with seafood as long as it wasnt covered in any kind of creams and sauces and such.
