WW, week 23
May. 11th, 2004 03:00 pmAnother "basically no change" week--a loss of 0.2 pounds, for a total of 32.4. Having had a couple of less-well-controlled meals the two nights before my weigh-in Sunday afternoon, I'm not surprised. And then I ate out again Sunday night. I'll need to deal with weekends like this in order to keep the weight off--try to not be too bad while eating out, and then get back to the diet right afterwards.
A couple of notes on the eating: Friday night was the retirement party, with fajitas and fixings. I kept the amount down, avoided the fried flautas, minimized rice and beans, and only got a couple of sopapilla bits for dessert.
Saturday, brother and sis-in-law got a baby sitter, and the four adults went to Woodfire Grill--one of several very nice restaurants on Cheshire Bridge Road, in among the strip joints. I got the roasted half chicken with "garlicky steel pan greens". The chicken was good, and the greens (collards, I think) were wonderful. And lots of them, too, which helped me not eat all the chicken. Oh, and I took a couple of bites from the cheese plate sis-in-law got for dessert.
Sunday we all (including the kids) went to the new Crescent Moon at Northlake Mall--the one in Decatur has been a favorite spot for a long time, and now there's one a little closer and with easier parking. (The Decatur one has been the site of several MiniLoisCons, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
filkferengi and joyeuse13 know.) The Northlake version has the same menu and decor, but there are more large tables, which made it easier for our group of 7 to get seated. I at the half rack of ribs (having saved points at lunch in anticipation), with salad and collards.
With all that, I don't think I used any flexpoints, though on Friday and Saturday I had been to Jazzercise and used some exercise points. While I can't get a lot of the luscious-sounding high-fat entrees (or desserts, of course), I can eat out and eat well, and stay within the WW system.
