Today was great! I was a little nervous about going to Cafe Rio... worried I would eat too many calories & overeat but it was fine. It is amazing how many calories are in one meal! I have been able to eat an entire Cafe Rio salad in one sitting... that is over 900 calories! Not a big deal if you don't eat alot throughout the day but that takes up most of a full days caloric intake! It also slows down the metabolism if you don't eat through out the day so saving most of your caloric intake for one meal is not good.

I also spent some time at my family's homes...Oreo's, twinkies, tootsie rolls, fudge pops, ect at my parents & my brother made an ice cream latte in front of me. Surprisingly, it wasn't hard to say no. Because I am so dedicated and already have my mind made up that I am not eating those foods on a regular basis, I don't have to think about it.

 

Healthy Wishes,
