1/18 Red w/lites

Breakfast: Lite, Banana (1L, 1Fr)
Snack: Yogurt
Lunch: 4" pita with roast beef, salad (1S, 1P, 2V)
Snack: Lite
Dinner: Out with friends...so I've saved 1Fr (Wine), 1.5P, 1V, 2S, 1F

Here is the link to the menu of the place where I'm eating dinner, if anyone would like to make suggestions. I was thinking either the balsamic chicken, or the garlic ceasar salad with chicken... http://www.milestonesrestaurants.com/dinner.html

Angie - The sea bass looks good, and any of the salads are good. You can always "treat" yourself and order the real dressing on the side and then dip your fork in the dressing before you stab the greens. And remember that a restaurant will salt everything, so even if you are OP, don't freak if you have a slight gain in the next day or two. Just hit the hot lemon water for the next two days and you'll be ok. You could have the thai tacos and only have one tortilla, or no tortillas and eat it like a stir fry. Veggie burger is ok too. I would also take Dan's advice (I think it was Dan) and order a salad and a big glass of water when you sit down. That is, if you're not having a big salad as your meal. Then you will have your hands and mouth full when any of the other really yummy looking appetizers come.

Good luck tonight. This place looks really good!

This is my second day on the diet. I hope the menu looks okay; if not, please let me know what I should do.

My books says one (1) rib of celery is considered one vegetable; does that mean one rib equals one stalk?

Thank you!!

[truelies]

Even if there are mistakes in it (I did not catch any but then again I am no expert and need help myself at times) I believe you are doing quite well adjusting to the diet for only being on it two days. I had such a hard time planning meals at first and would have to snack alot just to make up the portions and end up going to bed hungry from not eating full meals. Good luck and keep up the great work, you can do this
