I had an awesome night out last night with my man. We went to a steakhouse and I had one of the BEST and TASTIEST steaks I've ever had in my life!!! I splurge with a few deep fried mushrooms, some incredible grilled shrimp on a skewer, and butter on my baked potato. So dinner was wonderful. I had to remind myself it was okay to splurge a little and enjoy my food guilt free. Breaking that thought in my head ... "if I enjoy myself I'll blow up to 300 lbs again" ... is difficult. Then we drove down to a gaming Casino nearby ... and while we didn't come home with any extra cash we BROKE EVEN!!! I was on a roll!!! It was so much fun! We rolled into home about 3 this morning!! Unfortunately my dog decided to wake me up so I'm going to go ahead and exercise. And ... my weight stayed the same. So, our Easter is a little non-traditional!! Today it's back to my "normal" eating and fighting the temptation to continue to splurge. I almost forgot ... I wore a pair of my "skinny" jeans last night. They fit wonderfully. I'm not "done" losing yet but I am feeling good!! Have a wonderful Easter my friends.
