This morning I got to put on my favorite work pants! They haven't fit in 6 months! It's always a reassuring feeling when something you know didn't fit goes on like they're made for you. They aren't my favorite old jeans...those will take a while longer to fit into again; but when I gained weight last year and things started to stop fitting, my favorite work pants had to be put away. I knew someday they'd fit again. Today is the day! Yay!
Last night I went to a marketing event for a friend. The event featured whiskey tasting, fresh baked goods and was held in a full scale restaurant. I did not attempt to go without research first. I gotta say, the more prep you do before an outing, the easier things go. Before I went, I looked up where we were going to see the food situation. I knew there would be alcohol and goodies, so I knew I'd need to eat. Looking through the menu, the french dip called to me. Surprises of all surprises, they are actually NOT a lot of calories! About 400, which is a totally fine calorie count for dinner. Obviously that is not including the french fries, which I just shared with everyone...fries aren't really my thing.
After a single whiskey tasting and my amazing sandwich, I was far too full to even consider a bite of the baked goods...which included cupcakes, lemon-raspberry bars and some other delicious looking treats. When I got home, I had my vitamins (I look forward to them all day) and just really wanted water. The sodium in the au jus sauce made me thirsty!!! Aside from that, it was a successful night. And I awoke to discover I've dropped another 3 pounds this week! Yay me!
