So this morning I weighed myself just to see how things were looking this week. It really hasn't been a perfect week, but when is really? My official weigh in day isn't until Monday, that's when I log and try only to really weigh myself on that day. Anyway, according to the scale I'm down 12.4 lbs since starting almost 4 weeks ago. This makes me feel so good! However, I know that eventually my successes will be smaller because really it isn't good to lose too much, too fast. As far as I'm concerned a .01 fluctuation in weight is a success! Lol

I did go out to eat last night with my mom. It was a struggle finding something relatively healthy and it reminded me why I have been cooking on my own. We were at Tumbleweed. I should have known it was a bad choice web before we left to go I couldn't find nutritional information on their website. I am learning if they (chain restaurants) don't want you I know, it is because nothing on their menu is probably healthy. I got the half taco salad... I am scared to see the full order. This thing was huge! It had a fried huge chip on the bottom and then more chips in the salad mixed with tons of cheese, retried beans, and seasoned beef. So I asked for another plate and dissected the "salad" and avoided the big fried chips that it was laying upon. I did my best to eat only the good stuff and I did eat the meat and beans for the most part, but only because I have a habit of not eating enough meat and/or protein. I am just not a big meat eater so I find it elsewhere usually.

Anyway, these restaurants aren't bad, but it is beneficial to share your meal that's for sure!

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!
