Eating at Outback tomorrow with the family

[donna12 742]

well I decided to go with salmon, it was delish, couldn't eat it all, brought it home will add a little Water in the skillet with a little pat of butter and steam it to warm it up. Also substituted veggies cause I didn't want to get stuck on them for a potatoe, again couldn't eat it all, brought it home and drank water and had a wonderful time with my brother who is battling cancer and he felt good today and his wife and her dad joined us and my mom. It was such a blessing to have all of us there as a family together. I did have one bite of their bread with honey butter and thought I'd better stop while I was ahead before I got stuck...lol. oh but that tee tiny bite was good. My mom got appetizer coconut shrimp and sweet potatoe and salad and I had a couple of bites of salad which tasted good to me. It was a good splurge meal. I'm not a mother but I wish all of you a Happy Mother's Day tomorrow. CG you crack me up girl.

One other thing, sorry, I plan on getting a couple of filet's at the grocery this week and trying them at home to see how I do since I've been craving steak and haven't had one in over a year. Actually the last FAT JUICY hamburger I had was May 30th 2012, my last supper I called it before I started my pre op diet, oh gosh, I went hog wild that night, birthday cake, ice cream, the burger, appetizer, carbonated drink, I felt like a stuffed pig litterally. So this week, steak it is.

Donna - good for you! You so SO well, and really stuck to your program. I know how difficult it is, but you came through with flying colors :-)

I'm so sorry to hear about your brother, and I'm glad he was well enough to spend the time with family. It's horrible to go through (I went through it with my mother), and it's so important to cherish every minute you're able to spend together.

Happy Mother's Day

PS: I think having steak at home for the first time is a good idea. Enjoy every bite, and please let me know how it goes. I'm a long way off from it, but look forward to having it again.
