Small Slice

I didn't lift a finger to cook this weekend... I had planned to have the kids cook, but we ended up eating out the entire weekend, and it was divine!

My wedding anniversary is on 9-11, and we didn't feel like celebrating until this weekend.  We took the kids to my parents' house and ran off for a lovely dinner of Thai food.  I ordered all my favorites, and we giggled our way through eight years of memories.  We had a blast.

Then, last night, we celebrated my dad's birthday and my upcoming birthday at a Mexican restaurant, with Pomegranate Margaritas and great food.  It was a wonderful weekend, full of lots of wonderful treats.

This morning, I stepped on the scale and saw a big 167 flashing at me, and while I'm disappointed that I've only lost a pound, a weekend full of restaurant food would have normally pushed me up by a pound or two.  I didn't overeat, I didn't feel guilty about leaving food on my plate, and I felt like I had a balanced meal each time. 

Woo hoooooo!

This week, I'm going to focus on eating well, of course, but I'm also going to review what I'm doing, and why.  I'm also going to really step up the exercise.  I want to get this scale moving!

I'm working on this week's menu right now... I'll post it this evening after I make up my shopping list.
