Day Out With Friends.

Today started with homemade croissants. I make these about 3 times a year and freeze the frozen formed uncooked croissants.  It's one of my husband's favorite things (and I dearly love them too).  I was good though and ate just half of one and then had some coconut yogurt instead with a sprinkle of whole grain granola and a mineral water.  In previous days I'd easily have eaten two croissants and a large orange juice.

My husband had NO problem eating what I didn't

Because I was saving up my calories for an outing out with my closest gal friend in the city I work in.

It would be a trip to our favorite pub.   I knew too that I would like have their fish and chips as with moving out of the crash pad I likely wouldn't get a chance to go back there.

I just couldn't go to our favorite haunt and order a salad.

My husband had a meatloaf sandwich and my friend had half an order of the Nachos.  They had a beer (my friend lives within waking distance of the place) and I had tea as I was the designated driver.

I removed a good portion of the breading on the fish used just a bit of tartar sauce and only ate 3 fries and all of the coleslaw. The flaky fish was delicious on its own and though I probably had more calories than planned, it was a mid-afternoon meal that was both lunch AND dinner for us.

Later, a snack that was an apple and I'm done for the day.

Steps - Only 4100 today but with packing up we burned some calories bending and lifting so I don't think I will have gained anything back.  It's getting easier to make those choices though just one meal at a time.
