I'm going to have a hamburger today

Sunday, June 17, 2012

This evening for Father's Day, our sons are taking their dad out for dinner at a local bar/restaurant that has amazing hamburgers and fries. I could, of course, have a salad but some of the salads have a million calories and I really, really want a hamburger.

So, I planned ahead. I went to the website and checked out the menu and decided to have a kids burger and the small order of fries with it. I'll have a salad first to fill me up some so I don't overeat but I'm going to have what I want. I'm just going to plan the rest of my day around that so I don't overeat on a daily basis.

Eating healthy takes a lot more time that just shoving stuff into my mouth but I'm worth it.

    Good for you!! We took hubby out and I brought home 1/2 of my meal--or at least a good portion of one half--and I had that for lunch today. We CAN do this!!

    Congrats on planning ahead. That's the only way I've found to be able to stay on track with my meals. And, oh boy does a hamburger taste good!! Especially when you know you can eat it and not go over your calories for the day!

    Enjoy that planned for hamburger--planning ahead for special occasions is so smart. It sounds like you're doing well and deserve a treat from time to time. It's great your sons and you are taking your DH out to eat. He sounds like a special man.

Hugs,
