Okay, so I LOVE to eat out. I have NEVER been able to control myself and order healthy. I usually just say "I'll start over tomorrow" Well, today all the girls in the office were going out to lunch and they invited me. So I told myself this will just have to be a test. I think I passed!!! We went for Mexican food!!! I was going to have Caldo (mexican soup) but all that was left was the broth and cabbage. I do not like cabbage. So instead, I ordered the chicken fajita plate. I ordered soft/NOT FRIED CORN tortillas, no guacamole, no sour cream (those are my favorites). The fajitas are served with grilled onions & bell peppers. So I ate most of the chicken and the tortillas. I did NOT eat the beans and the rice couldn't have been even a 1/2 cup and I left some of that on the plate too!!!!! That is like a BIG MILESTONE for me!!!! No cheese either, I just realized that!! And I didn't even miss it and I LOVE cheese.

So what do you think, did I pass? Did I do good? Huh did I, did I???
