ok so i am suppose to go out to dinner tonight, Red Lobster. In the effort to maintain my progress i went on their website and look at the nutritional facts. So i have my dinner planned before i even get there soI do not have to waste time looking at the menu and wanting the unhealthier alternative. Garden Salad, shrimp scampi, potato and broccoli. And maybe 1 or 2 of the biscuits. an ice tea for my beverage or i may just get a water. i hope that i can stick with my plan. I would usually get the Walt deep fried shrimp, potato with cheese, steak, garden salad, and a frozen drink to top of the meal. Oh yeah and i am a bread fanatic so i would eat like 6 of those cheddar bay biscuits...

    Planning ahead of time is key! If you know what you're going to eat stick to it! It will make you feel much better at the end knowing you stayed within your goal!

    Good for you! I have found some of my favorite meals I would never have ordered otherwise by doing the same. Love, love, love their biscuits! But whew, SO many calories! Enjoy one for me! (But just one, lol)

    Oh, and don't even open the menu. Just order and don't look at anything else!

    I think you are doing the right thing by researching what to eat before you good. I'm sure you will do just fine. Enjoy your dinner and keep it in the back of your mind to eat slower so you don't overeat! Good Luck!!

    Stick with your plan! You went through the effort of looking up their menu so that you wouldn't pick something you'd regret! That all sounds very good!

    Great job on planning ahead!! Red Lobster has lots of healthy options on their Lighthouse Menu...love it! I agree watch those biscuits! I use to love them and now I can't eat them since I can't eat dairy anymore. Glad that temptation was put to rest because those biscuits are fantastic! Enjoy your night out!!
