Friday. I think it was Friday. We went to dinner at Dada's in Delray Beach. One of the very best dinners I've had in a long, long time.
We had wine.

And Grilled Brie. This was delicious.

Our dinners...
Erin's Butternut Squash Raviloi with thyme asparagus cream sauce and artichoke hearts.

I ate almost every last bite.

Then there was a little of this...

And a little of this....

At one point we thought this was a great idea. I remember eating fries and tasting one of the chicken fingers.

A big thank you to Jean our cab driver for putting up with us and going to the drive thru on our way home.
Saturday I had a peanut butter and bacon sandwich.

Jen, Erin and I stopped at the Carolina Ale House to 'put out the fire' as my dad is fond of saying.

We had boneless buffalo wings to start.

And I had a burger w/some onion strings. I ate about 2/3 of it and left some fries.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwNF7LpNDSVcjTd-AeWfuHwRl3PYKgCdSdGSZp_K5CqvfxPtU3pkf0q5Ixn5x9wAxjj9_4IrBYnJ7WySC9XR7GYkZxk02gdT9nLNMQusBc7AvHdmjaeV3p2FvxCbK7ZJ1MgNvRCTbrdUA/s320/thurs+105.jpg)
We laid low and watched The Hangover (appropriate!) and Uncle Red made us dinner.
Salad. Which I did not eat.

Pasta - which I did eat.

And ice cream - which I definitely ate.

Sunday. We're at Sunday right? Peanut butter sandwich for breakfast. Lunch...was homemade bar food (made by moi!) as we watched football. I'll post recipes sometime soon I promise!!
Turkey Nachos with Jen's DELICIOUS homemade guacamole.

A little later I had a small slice of pizza.

And some more ice cream.

Here is where I say I'm eternally grateful we don't have Blue Bell Ice Cream in NYC. This stuff was amazing. Also why I don't ever buy ice cream. I'm powerless. Completely powerless.
And I think that's enough to hold you for now. I'll give you the rundown on the rest tomorrow.
I know what you're thinking but let me tell you I am feeling zero guilt. I needed a vacation in every sense of the word. Jen and I exercised 2 out of the 3 days (either running or walking or a combo of both). We went shopping one day and I zipped up size 8 jeans. I bought the 10 - but the 8 ZIPPED UP FULLY. That's amazing. I ate out a ton but left something on my plate at every meal but breakfast.
All in all I think it was just what the doctor ordered.
Speaking of the doctor - I'm having a physical tomorrow - first time since I lost weight. Is it weird that I'm kind of excited???
No, it's not. And yay, you. 8's-- I am positively JEALOUS.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up, lady!
