Day 9 - Another success

Had another good day yesterday. Went to The Elephant Bar with a bunch of friends. Luckily for me they had the nutritional information INSIDE the menu, so really no excuse to eat something and claim I didn't know how BAD it was. Nothing was really that healthy there but all sounded so good! I got a salad with apples, gorgonzola cheese and walnuts. 410 cals. I had 3 french fries, one small lettuce wrap and a few chips with artichoke dip. Now the dip and the french fries were not the greatest, but I counted them in my calories for the day and was still under my 1500 max. I felt in control, didn't eat them JUST to eat them. I wanted a taste, had one and moved on. That makes me feel REALLY good!

My son was up a ton last night, I got really crappy sleep so when the alarm went off for working out, I didn't get up. BUT tonight is night one of NO TV, so I will have plenty of time to listen to my ipod and get out walking!

The scale was down another pound....feeling really good about my progress this past week. I changed my weight loss ticker to reflect my goal for Disneyland.

Have a Blessed day!
