Sorry it has been a while, I have been having some health issues and difficulties picking up a regular schedule. I had surgery and was healing. Was on medication and recouping with my babies at home. Then suffering from some side effects, but now I'm managing.
Anyway, I'm here now, so let's go!
I have begun to recognize that the goals I'm setting and choices I am making are helping me to enjoy my food! I never even realized that I wasn't enjoying it in the first place! I knew that when I binged, it was only the first cup of sweet tea, cookie, bite of ice cream, etc. that tasted good, but the rest was tasteless.
Hubby and I had a date night at Disneyland last Sunday night and ate at Cafe Orleans. I had considered using it as a "reward night" and wanted to order a Monte Cristo. This has always been my favorite Disney dish, actually, favorite DISH. As in, if you asked me what my last meal on earth would be if I could choose it, it would be the Monte Cristo from Disneyland! However, I have also been noticing that super unhealthy carbs and sweets have been somewhat distasteful to me lately, also, I hadn't been able to get a good workout in almost a week, so I didn't want to go over on my calories too much.
We shared the N'awlins Vegetable Ragout with Alaskan Salmon. It was SO delicious! I took one bite and was hooked. Good thing I had several glasses of water beforehand, otherwise I might have scarfed it down! I was able to take my time, savor every bite and not completely stuff myself and ended up under my calorie budget! It was such a wonderful night. Afterward, we were able to enjoy the evening and walk and window shop and relax. It was great!
