How to Eat Out and Not Blow It

by DMC

Today, as I mentioned earlier, I had a pre-scheduled lunch appointment with a friend at Chili's. I warned her I was on some kick-ass bootcamp diet so she'd be prepared for my food strangeness at the restaurant. Well, turns out, I did not need to be too strange. Thanks to a new California law that requires most restaurants to have nutritional data available, I was able to select something reasonable from their "guiltless" menu -- specifically, the guiltless chicken sandwich. I took off the top part of the bun, ordered the sauce on the side and spread it on very sparingly, and even ate the side of steamed brocolli. I believe the total calorie count was about 300-350 for that meal. For dinner tonight, I had my 1/4 whole wheat pita with a spread of hummus.

And, yes, I'm hungry...but, as Jackie mentioned, I'm trying to drink lots of liquids to combat the hunger. But, on the positive side, the scale was down a pound a half this morning after not budging yesterday...and my Wii Fit was only slightly obnoxious this morning when I took my body test.
