We are taking TJ to dinner tonight, and we're going out for Italian food. I have not really been out to eat, other than for hummus and then steak this past Saturday, since we started our competition. I certainly haven't been out to one of my favorite Italian restaurants since the start of the contest, but we are heading there tonight!
I'm really looking forward to it. I love the food there, and I know I will use self control with both my food selection and the amount I eat of it. No leftovers will be coming home with me! It will be less of a challenge, since everyone there is trying to eat healthy, so it's not like I can cheat, but I don't even want to.
I think it's important to be able to go out to eat without blowing your diet. I've always been pretty good about being able to do that. My strategy for tonight is simple, have lots of liquids before I eat, start the meal off with a light salad, and enjoy the conversation more than my food as I eat my dinner SLOWLY. I hope my strategic planning isn't taking the fun out of this for you, TJ. I know you would prefer to surround yourself with thin friends, though, so I'm sure it's worth it. LOL!
I really can't wait.

If I keep eating like last night, I will need to join your TBL contest...lol.
The conversation and company make the night, the meal is secondary.
oh the company is secondary in my book.
JK
I look forward to both and I am up for the challenge of not over indulging... I can do it!
