No 90% compliance this week.
Hubby's birthday dinner was fun as per usual... I had a plan, kind of. Thought I would skip a drink entirely, perhaps eat the lovely Indian Salmon dish instead of fried crab (Indian Salmon is steamed, with spinach, tomatoes and a little huckleberry puree.) and otherwise enjoy.
That plan evaporated when we hit the restaurant!
I immediately FELT like a drink this time, but hubby and I opted to SHARE a huckleberry margarita to limit the damage. But then, we decided to splurge and have an appetizer EACH! OK, that's not so bad, I had the fresh Dungeness crab again, almost a pure protein dish. Hubby had nuggets of filet mignon with a huckleberry glaze.
The good part of this appetizer extravaganza was that I managed to not even notice when the waitress brought a second basket of bread, so I only had my two small slices from the first basket and no more.
I did ask the waitress about nixing the pilaf with the pan fried Dungeness crab legs and asked for more veggies instead, which they were happy to do. So I had a lovely pile of broccoli rabe and very fresh green beans.
Fell for the chocolate no-flour souffle again, but this time there was only one tiny scoop of ice cream with it instead of two. Literally about 2 tablespoons worth. The desserts at Raphael's are exquisitely good, but not huge.
So I don't really feel bad about my third 10% meal of the week... it's my 5th meal after that busted my compliance, sigh. I needed to eat something and instead of getting a light snack of say, yogurt and protein powder pudding, I was lazy and ate a couple spoons of peanut butter and a handful of dried apricots. No veggie, no protein.
Heaven knows if I'll come up with a loss at the end of this week.
