Day 46: A Little Bit Better

I was up past 2am with the stinkin' heartburn from our restaurant meal last night.  The wings were OK, but certainly not worth that much discomfort, so I don't anticipate eating out again anythime soon.  LittleGirl might have something to say about that, but hopefully I can convince her that my home-cooking beats anything she can get elsewhere.


On the bright side, I didn't gain weight this morning.  I made a solid effort to eat better today, but I didn't track my calories.  HS offered to make breakfast for me again, but I snacked on a small piece of cheese instead and had an apple later in the morning and some chicken salad for lunch.  We had a giant spread for dinner tonight...thick sirloins, fresh mushrooms cooked in butter and red wine with garlic, onions, and basil, steamed broccoli with peppers, and a giant salad.  The steak was good, but honestly, I was digging the veggies so much more!  I got full before I finished what was on my plate, but I finished everything but the steak.  I even snuck some leftover broccoli from the fridge a little while ago!  


I made it through Halloween without a single BITE of candy, and it took no effort at all.  I got the willies just thinking about the garbage the Littles picked up tonight.  Unfortunately, I learned that LittleBoy inherited HS's sweet tooth as I watched him chow down on candy.  I wish there was a healthier alternative to all of the garbage that was passed out tonight, but it's me against the world in that fight.
