Another Goal Reached

I want to post that I've lost 10 pounds, but I can't . Because I didn't LOSE them, per se. I know exactly where they went, because I chased them all the way. I think they're cowering between my treadmill and the wall. So, yeah. I'm down 10. I'm going to have a massage. That's the good news.

Oh, yeah. You know it. Where there's good news...

Here's the bad news. We leave for vacation on Friday. 10 days. Away from home. Eating OUT. AAArrrggghhhh. I can eat cardboard with water sauce at home and it doesn't bother me, but to pay $12.95 for it in a RESTAURANT?? When it is listed next to the batter-dipped, pan-fried, gravy-smothered, good-enough-to-make-you-slap-your-mama red-meat extravaganza?? Oh, come ON!

"Yes, Britnee (you little Barbie-looking, nubile college student...let me tell you now, Rome fell, sister, and THOSE will too...), I'll have the Inch-Pincher's Delight with a diet water. Mmm mmm! Looks mighty tasty!"

Here's the plan: I'm going to only eat what the kids leave on their plates and not actually order anything for myself. I had read that one good idea was to eat naked in front of a mirror, but I'm not sure we'll always be able to find restaurants with mirrors, so that may be out.

Oh, sorry. Did I just poke out your mind's eye?

;~D

Ha! You crack me up! I've just dropped 30 lbs (with another 15 to go) so I can completely relate!

It's so much easier to make healthy choices while at home. Eating out is my downfall... those french fries just always look so darn good!! :)
