Week of Challenges - Day Three

Hi!  Happy Monday!!!!!!  Yeah, okay.  That went over well.

So I'll make this short.  Today is day three of my week of challenges.  How's it going?  Well, well.  Ha ha!  Oh, my, I need some more sleep.

So the first challenge was to go to this big family dinner at a restaurant that is famous for lots of food and lots of sauces.  I decided I was going to choose what I wanted from their menu ahead of time and then not even look at the menu when I got there.  I stuck to it...almost.  I did choose what I wanted ahead of time, shrimp and scallops provencal, and I did order it.  I did not look at the menu....for myself, but had to look at it to help hubby make up his mind about what he should order.  I consider getting through that first challenge a success.  I ate all the scallops, most of the shrimp, a little pasta, and brought the rest home.  I did taste one little barbecued rib that my nephew ordered, and of course, salad and two slices of bread with herb cheese.

Second challenge, to track everything everything this week.  So far, so good.

Third challenge, no snacking/desserts after dinner.  Again, so far, so good.  Well, I have to admit that at about 1:00 a.m. I got up and had about 4 ounces of milk because I couldn't sleep, but that's not considered dessert or snacking, right?  Hey, in the old days, there would have been cookies or a cupcake to go along with that glass of milk, and it would have been  a LARGE glass of milk, not a little juice glass.  So hey, look, I didn't have snacks or dessert after dinner and I SURVIVED!  I'm still here!
