#1 ~ Run 2 treadmill miles after a very hard day at work when I had actually planned to have a free night from exercise...why?...because Angie wanted to go out for Mexican food...my favorite

#2 ~ She wanted a specific carne asada burrito from a kind of fast food restaraunt, BRONCO TACO ~ NELIE knows the place ;) Now Angie rarely wants fast food anything ~ I love the place...but it is not as healthy as the sit down Mexican places we go...but oh so good!

#3 ~ Instead of my usual 2 cheese enchilada plate with rice and beans with an EXTRA taco and cheese quesadilla and a Corona or 2 or 6 ;) I got just a one cheese enchilada two taco plate with rice and beans. I ended up just looking at the rice and beans. I figure by cutting out the cheese quesadilla, one cheese enchilada and tons of chips I would have normally eaten that I DESERVE to fell pity on myself.

#4 ~ PLUS NO CORONAS! I had already had 2 lite Heinekens before we went, I stopped at that on a friday night...wow...I am changing ;)

I will say I felt better after eating than my usual :ink: out on Mexican food and Coronas. And Angie sure did appreciate me skipping the refried beans...I wasn't even gassy :faint: What a PITY ;)

PITY PAR~TAY ON!

Anyhow I ate all the tortilla chips they brought plus the salsa. :( Dh didn't want any. I figured I would be smart and let him order the big plate, chile relleno, beef taco, enchilada and I would be smart and take his taco and order a beef enchilada and that way we could split the rice and beans.

So I wouldn't be TOO bad. Guess he missed the point and wound up ordering a chicken quesedilla for an appetizer for us to share!! :lol: :devil:

VERY yummy! I did take 2 pieces of quesedilla, ate the taco and wound up bringing half the enchilada home for the next day. :D

JASMINE ~ Angie and I have been married for 11 1/2 years...I think she has fried taco shells less than 5 times other than that she doesn't fry anything except she kind of fries chicken picata in olive oil.

I have tried countless times to figure out how those mexican places do the soft shell carne asada tacos. I can NOT do them like that for some reason. There used to be a hole in the garage place around here that did that every friday nite.

I know what you mean.

I used to go there every week and order 10! haha I would have 5 one day and 5 the next. :lol:

Exactly...since YOu are there any way right! ;) That is why I order pizza with LUNCH the next day in mind also!

When I got better with the food I would have like 3 and that was it but anyways. They closed down and its probably a good thing. lol

I need to find another awesome soft taco place.

A bunch around me here in north San Diego county!

On the rare occasion we go out for mexican(not looking for soft tacos) I always get a beef enchilada and a hard beef taco.

CHEESE for me :D

You know what else I do? I make spanish brown rice usually a few times a week. It is VERY good and actually healthy for you.

Angie has a great very easy recipe for that too. What is yours?

:D

I just had a whole cup of salsa and guacamole with corn tortillas. Not only did I add a lil cream cheese to the mixture (only about 2 whole servings), I wasn't actually hungry and somehow the whole bag of chips jumped into my mouth. Scary, huh? Pity party on everyone...

Happens to the best of us VEGGIE!

Don't you just hate that feeling? When you're hungry but you're just dyin' to have some taste in your mouth? Tried to coaxed myself out of it but got suckered in, and then it led to overkill.

Well....I could tell you it wasn't worth giving them up...but this morning I weighed in at 192.4....which is almost 2 pounds less than the day before, so....it was worth it....but PITY ME it probably won't stay that low.

:o On the other hand, I shouldn't be talking. It's like treading through **** and high waters for me to give up the extra. Not that I really need to lose weight, but its just so sad that I can't resist extras!

I know it is hard to give up the extra 3 tacos, but you have a great wife YOU can say that TROO because you aren't married to her ;) there, she is really looking out for you.I think she just wants my beer out of the fridge to make more room for her veggies. There are at least 6 taco shops within .5 mile radius of my house and I really have to turn the other way when I see them. And shut my nostrils too. Frying taco shells is no fun either.That is why there are so many fast food taco shops...no one wants to fry the shells at home! Keep up the good work, dang you are working hard!
