Went to Ryan's last night for supper -- did very well
DH and I both did well. First, all four of us (DH, DS (8), DD (4) and I hit the salad bar. I skipped the cheeses and opted, instead, for full fat ranch dressing. They were all out of their fat free varieties, so I used just enough to add flavor, not much else. Loaded up on Romaine lettuce, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes...
For the main course, I picked up some fish and added some lemon juice to it. Try as I might, I do not like it...I'm still on the lookout for a yummy fish recipe, but this wasn't it...eek. I picked up a chicken breast of rotisserie chicken (pulling back the skin). But I could only get through half of it because it was way too salty. I also had some green beans.
I did not go back for seconds...and it was hard to walk by the yummy mashed taters and gravy and the baked taters with all the fixings.
For dessert -- yes, I had some -- I had some kick butt (!!) no sugar added, fat free butter pecan frozen yogurt. I think it was by far the best creamy dessert I have ever had.
DS had a piece of chocolate cake and mom had two, very small, bites.
Oh, and I had unsweetened iced tea.
I was quite proud of myself for eating wisely. There was a time when I would go back twice, maybe even three times and load up on potatoes, mac n cheese and their chicken pot pie.
No more...and I feel very good about that~
Oh Oh! We both declined those yummy, hot, buttery rolls, too...we were asked by three different servers...and each time, we said no. Would you believe I didn't even miss them. (but I know had they made it to the table, I couldn't have said no...)
