So this week wasn't perfect. I'll find out in a few hours how I did weight loss wise. I don't think it will be too bad. But some things happened, especially over the weekend.
I miscounted and had 2 restricted IP foods on Sunday. I made these delish green beans plus Korean beef from SixSistersStuff (will post later on that - it was ah-mazing) but both dishes had brown sugar (albeit Splenda Brown sugar which is legal) and I'm not sure if that would be a overload on my system.
We also took my youngest (almost 19) and her BF out to lunch after church. They wanted Olive Garden. I thought I'd be OK after reading a Hungry Girl OG Survival post. I think I made wise choices (minestrone soup and salad) and I was really happy about that. I did make the bread stick basket stay at the other end of the table though. Not sure I could have withstood that temptation. But as I was eating (and picking pasta out of the soup because I forgot it was in there) I wondered about the kidney beans. Were they OK? Should I not eat those too? And have I had my 2 restricted veg for the week ... would the tomatoes be a problem?
Then I thought, well this is the best I could do. There will be times I have to make some compromises. I made the best choices I could today. That's success in my book. And its certainly not like that happens every day, Usually its lock step on plan. So I'm not going beat myself up for not being perfect, but instead be happy that I was pretty darn good and got to enjoy some time with my daughter!
