Day 7/ Week 1

So I woke on Saturday with lots of ideas in my head of what to wear and what to eat... big thing I didn't know was what we would be eating at my sons Prom for Dinner.
I washed, ironed and got my boys men  ready for the Prom Dinner.  I even laid out 3 outfits and had them decide which would be best.   Normally I have a body image issue... but I very much let that slide and enjoyed what I looked like - If they liked what I looked like then so should I.

The time came and off to the Prom we went.
The food started to be laid out (I had a snack before we left so I wasn't starving at the buffet)
I filled my plate with fresh garden salad, lots of raw veggies,  some salmon and a chicken breast.  I ate, was satisfied and didn't even look at the desserts... the flowing chocolate fountain... okay I looked at the fountain but that was all - I had nothing.
The best part was the servers kept coming around to the tables and filling our water glasses.  I only drink water so that was great! (made for a few trips to the bathroom but it was still great!)  Hubby was even "behaved"... he tried to tempt me with describing some desserts but I wasn't interested.  He didn't go up either so we both did well.

It was a late night and little sleep was had keeping track of where my son was throughout the night but all is well that ends well.

Day 6/ Week 1

Whoa!!!! Near catastrophe!
I was doing good in the morning - okay that is. I didn't get much moving in cause I was doing computer work. As the day wore on I could feel myself getting lazy... and my son hadn't taken the last 2 pieces of pizza that were in the fridge. (DANGER!)  I went to the fridge several times ( that was my activity LOL) open, "NOOOO", close... walk away. 
Lucky when my son got home the first thing he did was go to the fridge and eat that pizza!   Now its gone!  PHEW one problem solved.

Later, my mother came over and we had to go to the Mall to get her cell phone checked out and I needed a dress for my sons Prom amongst other things.  My mom only stayed long enough for the phone issue and she tootled home.  I then took on the unpleasant job of shopping for a formal dress for myself.
It is very hard to find a modest formal dress!  Everything is no sleeves, above the knee, low front, low back... they all have one or more of these features.  When I had a lady help me (I had picked out a skirt and was looking for a formal top) she grabbed tops with graffiti on the front and other such casual items.  I don't think people know the meaning of formal. 
Anyway, I did pick out a dress and a skirt... I think I will wear the skirt with a top I already have... this marathon took me more time than I had planned.  I called home and hubby had been in from the barn for an hour and hadn't eaten supper.
Well, I knew what I wanted for supper but it wasn't made and hubby doesn't really cook.  It would take me longer to explain what to do than to do it myself... but that would make for a very very late supper.  Soooo, I went to McDonald's.
Now, before you GASP.  I firmly believe that fast food places DO serve healthy food choices.  Think about it... salads (and they package the extras so you can decide to put them on or not); fruit and yogurt, apple slices, water... there ARE healthy choices.    But my problem can be when I get there I waiver and don't make those healthy choices.
But last night I did.   I ordered the Thai salad with grilled chicken (no extras just the fork) and a fruit n yogurt parfait... for hubby I ordered a Grilled chicken BLT and a Fruit n yogurt parfait and we had water at home.
I was happy with my choice and happy I didn't waiver cause I let myself go too long (missed my afternoon snack) and I was really hungry.  Once I ate dinner I was satisfied and  I enjoyed snuggle time with my hubby.
All ended good and I got a good night sleep... now to make it through Day 7!
