Awesome Weekend

I had an awesome weekend! I got to hang with friends and family. My hubby and I had awesome QT together. I got reminded of how awesome God is in Sunday School today. And, I did very well on not cheating on my diet, which as you may or may not know is super duper tough on weekends and when you gather with loved ones :)

Friday night, the hubs and I went for dinner at a local Mexican restaurant and I had water and a taco salad with chicken. After that, we went for coffee (tall skinny hazelnut latte) and met his bro's sweet little fam downtown so we could walk around (bonus--we got some exercise!).

Saturday, I ate at Olive Garden with my mom and I got the gluten-free version of the Mixed Grill, which is steak and chicken with squash, zucchini, and broccoli. Again, I had water to drink and then we went and walked around the Southern Women's Show for a few hours. (Bonus--got more walking in!) Also, I resisted the temptation to try all the free samples of food that they offer, except for three tiny little homemade butter mints, but that was it!

Today, after church, I met two of my dear pals at the mall so we could walk and talk and just spend some time together. Also, they just bought a house, so they wanted to browse for home decor type stuff. Anyway, on the way to meet them, I stopped at Caribou coffee and got a medium soy chai latte.

When we were done at the mall, we went to a restaurant called Andy's, which is set up to look like a 50's diner and they serve burgers, fries, and shakes. Not good if you are on a diet! I did okay, though. I had diet Pepsi and I ordered a chicken cheesesteak with mushrooms, onions, and peppers and I only ate the insides out of it. I also resisted the urge to get a milkshake, even though my two buds were sitting right beside me enjoying theirs.

All in all, I would say I am doing pretty well and still "hangin' tough" :) Well, it's off to bed for now, so I can wake up tomorrow and start the weekday daily grind again. Goodnight!
