five days in a row.

it has been a few days since i have blogged... i have been super busy lately... i think it is because the weather has been getting nicer and the days have been getting longer... and i feel more up to going out with friends and family after a long day with my kids at school.

and because of this...

i have gone out to eat for five days in a row. not sure how it happened... but it did.

i have been trying to figure out how to attack a restaurant. one strategy i use is checking menus online... another one is to eat a healthy snack before i go into a restaurant so that i am not STARVING when i walk in...

i have been ordering myself a healthy meal on the menu and "cheating" with an appetizer to share with tim. tonight i ate buffalo chicken dip and chips.

last night i ate crab dip with guacamole and mango salsa with chips. it was out of this world!

(can you tell that i have a chips and dip addiction)

going out to eat is one my favorite things to do with tim. and one of the hardest things i do with tim. i am getting really good at ordering healthy choices... but tim. well... he still orders french fries. it is so hard to watch him eat my favorite meal... i just wish he would jump on this band wagon with me... that would eliminate so much temptation.

so after eating dinner out all week, i decided to do an emergency weigh-in this afternoon... and the number is 143.8....

so far... so good.

have a wonderful weekend!
