This is a bit late but, the other night we went out to dinner. It was quite nice. We went to Olive Garden. I had water with fresh squeezed lemon and then Ky and I shared Chicken Shacchetti (4 cheese stuffed noodle purses with pan seared chicken). Though Ky ate more of it then I did. LOL! I had 3 bites along with 1 olive and 1 slice of tomato from the salad. We boxed up the other half to eat later. The weirdest thing about the band to get use to is not drinking while eating or drinking 45minutes to and hour after eating. Though I am getting use to it. The trick is to have a few swigs to satisfy your thirst before you eat. Luckily from the time we got our drink to the time we actually ate I had about 20mins to sit and sip on my refreshing drink.
It sure was a nice night out. And, the best part was that I didn't leave the restaurant feeling sick or like I was going to pop a button. It was a wonderful feeling!! Also... earlier that day I had tried on my tightest pair of jeans and they buttoned and zipped without any effort. Whereas before I would have to lay on the bed and do them up and then would have quite the "pouch" and "overhang" and this time there wasn't even a pooch. It was a great feeling of accomplishment. Plus now they are almost too big. I give myself another month and then I will need to do some shopping. But, hey I am not complaining in anyway shape or form. :)
Oh and last night I made Seafood Gumbo and thought that I would share a few pictures of it with you. It was only 143 calories a bowl and was DELICIOUS.. Though again I only got 4 bites before I was full!
Thanks for catching up with me today. I hope you have a great Novembers day and stay warm..
