I totally splurged over the weekend. I went with the hubby to an autograph show and we wanted to stop at a restaurant that we had never been to before. We stopped at Glory Days Grill. It was incredible! One thing I can never pass up when I try a new place is their crab dip. It was ah-mazing! I had a salad, fried shrimp and a few sips of the hubby's Red Apple Ale, also AH-MAZING! That night we actually stopped for ice cream. I shared almost half of my shake with my little Ellie who LOVED it! Sunday, we went up for his second autograph and went back to Glory Days Grill. I was soooo tempted to get the burger, it looked so good. I had a bite of his and really wanted it, but I was strong. I stuck with the fried shrimp again, which was still really good with some steamed broccoli on the side (tho it seemed drenched in butter :/ )
The older kiddos are doing vacation bible school in the evenings this week. We were on the hunt for outfits for them for their baptisms this Sunday. We had gotten everyone somewhat handled on Sunday to discover that pants were too long, pants were too tight, and my daughter's dress was missing the actual zipper D: I was stressed about trying to find something to work and amazingly enough everything fell into place. Boys just need shoes and we are good, I believe.
Hubby was craving the local pizza place here. It's delicious pizza for sure but I know I endulged over the weekend so I was kinda bummed about the idea but I did ok with it. I got the salad bar and shared fruit and beans with the babies, had one piece of the pizza and 1 mozzarella stick. Of course I wanted more but I restrained myself. And yes, the salad bar was delicious.. it's just. There are days I really don't want to have to have will power with something taunting me right in my face like that. He def should have what he wants though so it just means I have be attentive and keep myself focused. I believe he has 1900 calories compared to my 1300 so I can't have what he does with so much room to spare. I can't be upset about that and I am not upset about it. He is staying in his limits and I am so proud of the hard work he has been putting in too. It isn't always that hard for me but last night I made the most of it. It would've been so easy and tempting to have another piece of pizza or chow down on the mozzarella sticks and today I would've regretted it. I still calories to make up for this weekends splurge to get my weekly deficit where I would like to see it.
