My grandmother came down on the weekend and my aunt and cousin came down for 3 days during the week. Let's just say being around family and having Valentines Day is a good test of will power! My grandmother bought the kids chocolate and of course Brayden is too young to eat chocolate and Preston is too young too have all of the chocolate so now there are 2 small chocolate bunnies burning a hole in my freezer. (It doesn't help that I know they are there) not only did she bring the chocolate bunnies she brought a homemade red velvet cake with homemade cream cheese icing.. Frig. But not only did I not eat any of it I managed to feed Preston a piece of cake 3 nights in a row.
For family day my hubby managed to have a day off! So we took Preston to an indoor play park (where they had pizza, local ice cream, pop, chips etc.) let's just call it another will power test. After that we went bowling with my parents, my aunt and cousin. and here we go again... French fries, vending machines etc. etc. then we went out for dinner. The best part about the diet is that you can eat your own protein for dinner and unlimited lettus. We went to East Side Mario's, I ordered their Garden Salad with grilled chicken on top (drool) they make the best Garden Salad and you are allowed the dressing (Thank goodness) just say no when the offer cheese and bread. Another diet friendly meal you can order is Hells Kitchen Chicken, it's an 8oz chicken with a spicy tomato sauce with mushrooms and other mixed veggies with steamed veggies on the side!
So all in all I managed to stay on track and had a great long weekend. I am down 8.4lbs this week :) and feeling great!
You did well my friend :) You're ready and you are going to feel amazing at the end of this journey.
