Well, Friday didn't go so well on the 'eat healthy' front. We met up with some friends for dinner at Trudy's downtown. Just for fun... here is what I had:

Chips

Salsa

Another round of chips

Mexican Martini

A few sips of water

2 Cheese Enchiladas... with queso sauce on top

Refried Beans

Rice

A second Mexican Martini

...I was fun and had reached the drink limit - so what shall we do?

Just (have the husband drive, then) head to a friends place and have a Rum and Dr. Pepper... of course. By the time I finished my drink, I was barely awake and we came home to pretty much fell into bed.

Saturday the husband and I woke up and took the dog to the Farmers Market in town. It was a beautiful day and we had such a great time people watching.

Afterwards, we came home and caught up on our DVR and then I made dinner. I used this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Angel-Hair-Pasta-with-Shrimp-and-Basil/Detail.aspx I used wheat pasta and this was soooooooo yummy. It gives me a pasta fix in a new way, and this is probably a bit healthier than what I usually make. This really was so good. Certainly giving this one an A+. It really reminded me of what I order at Carrabas Italian Resturant.

I anticipate that I got myself into a situation where I will need to 'make up' for Saturday's eating fest. However, that's life and I am not going to pretend it is realistic for me to cook at home every night. Losing weight or not, our lifestyle is one that includes going out with friends. I just need to find the best balance possible for my life and my health.
