My wife and I are going out to eat tonight at the Melting Pot for a judgement free eat out night as we have been very good and successful on our diets! Where is the last place everyone treated themselves out to and what did you have?

    Hubby and I generally eat out Friday and Saturday nights, and just moderate what we eat or adjust elsewhere for the meal.

    This week, we went out for sushi (I had a chirashi bowl and ate most of the fish, probably half of the rice, and had a mixed drink) and Greek food (we had a combo plate that had 3 mini pita sandwiches).

    We had panda express the other day and my daughter and I shared an orange chicken with rice bowl.

    I like Wendy's very reasonable with good options.

    I went out with my boyfriend and some of our mutual friends to a local italian place. I had a shrimp skewer with 3 shrimp, about 3 oz grilled calamari, 4 snails, about 1 cup roasted brussel sprouts and 4 bottles of Zombie Dust by 3 Floyds Brewery.

    We usually get a few appetizers to share and I pick off those and he gets a main meal with his choice, plus whatever drinks we're having.

    Went out to a pub last evening to celebrate a friend's birthday. Had one hard cider. Dinner was a fancy burger smothered in some kind of bacon crumble sauce. It was not guilt-free! We also shared a rich dessert between the three of us. I didn't log it because I haven't a clue what all was in that stuff. I probably should have just logged an extra 1000-1500 for the day, but I figured I'd just call it a free-day.

    We go to the all you can eat brazillian place- or we go to Mexican.

    I have a chips and salsa problem.

    My husband and I went to one of our favorite places on Saturday nigh, a great Italian and seafood place. For appetizers we got shrimp scampi and escarole and white beans. For dinner, I got zuppa de pesce - it was chock full of mussels, clams, shrimp and fish in a tomato broth with linguine. With all that amazing seafood I didn't bother with the linguine! I also had a glass of prosecco. All in all, not too bad calorie wise and I primarily just ate steamed seafood!

    We did Greek food tonight at a local spot. I had 4 shrimp wrapped in grape leaves with hot pepper. I also had steamed zucchini with mint and garlic. He had duck that was rolled in some sort of pastry, frites and pickled onion slaw with yogurt sauce and balsamic glaze.

    A yummy pho place about 2 weeks ago. I tried to estimate the calories, but I was probably way off. I've still been slowly loosing weight, so the pho didn't mess up my goals.

    My husband and I also tend to eat out on Fridays and Saturdays. Last Friday we ate at Texas Roadhouse.

    Saturday we indulged and took advantage of a deal at our local pizza place. 24" pizza which came with two free orders of knots (we got one garlic and one cinnamon). We had a lot left over so we had some the next day, and even then my husband took quite a bit of it to work with him for his lunch break.

    This post reminded me that there are still a few slices left in the freezer. I completely forgot about them.
