Red Robin - Yummmm!

I took Tom (hubby) out to dinner last night for his free birthday burger at Red Robin. Since I knew we were going there for dinner I decided to look up the menu online. Let me just say-so cool. You pick the item you want and it shows you a picture and a list of ingredients. You can delete what you don't want on it (like the bun or mayo) and it calculates all the nutritional value. Carbs, calories, sugar and bunch of stuff I don't understand. It made the choices much easier and I have to say the food was really yummy(and since we both had water our bill was really reasonable). Eating slowly, enjoying the company and sticking with good healthy choices made the evening very enjoyable- no regrets.

The restaurant was about a mile from my moms house so we stopped by to drop off some fabric so she can make us jammie pants for Christmas. I came across some lightweight sweatshirt material that I bought a decade ago. It is MN Vikings and Chicago Bears fabric and is 60" wide. I was planning on making a

crocheted fabric rag rug with it. Tom thought it was to nice to use for a rug so we brought it to my mom. 



Current Project

My mom and I started talking about weight and food choices. She started a program the same time I began my program and it is working for her. I have to say that we are definitely mother and daughter as we think alike (insert scary face-lol). She said that she will eat even when she is not hungry because the program allows it-something about left over points. She feels like she is cheating because she eats when not hungry (which seems wrong) but she is losing weight. She is following the programs rules and it is working. I am following my rules and it is working. I think the thing to remember is that you have to find what works for you and give it a chance to work.
