Hubby's birthday/date night was wonderful! On all fronts actually. We had a terrific time together. Dinner out. A little Christmas shopping accomplished. A hotel room in town (which meant a full night of sleep!!!). A quiet little breakfast out the next morning. Simple but wonderful. Just what the marriage needs sometimes. :)
And the food was great. We had dinner at Macaroni Grill on Friday. I order the Pollo Caprese. It was a grilled chicken breast, an arugula salad, and a serving of capellini pasta. Delicious!!! And (according to the menu) 580 calories. I didn't finish all of the pasta. Even if it was a few more calories than that, it couldn't have been anywhere near the carbonara I had the last time I was there that was 1200+ calories. So that was a step in the right direction. I had gone earlier Friday and bought some cupcakes for us at a bakery here in town. Our favorite there is the maple bacon cupcake. I ate the entire thing. And it tasted like heaven. In the past, I'm ashamed to admit, I have gone there and purchased 4-6 cupcakes and eaten them all on my own. This time, I ate my one cupcake and just truly enjoyed it. And didn't feel bad.
Saturday morning for breakfast we went to a little diner restaurant. I ordered their pumpkin pancakes. It came with 3 pancakes, 2 eggs, and sausage or bacon. I ate one pancake, my eggs, and ordered the turkey sausage patty. Again, it was yummy and in control.
The rest of the weekend was completely on track also. Which is pretty awesome considering the week ahead. But I'll analyze that later. For now I'll savor the victories I have. Like the fact that I was able to wear pants on my date this week a size smaller than I previously wore!!
