I feel like I've been absent for awhile, but it's only really been a couple of days. I've been spending a lot of time outside and with friends and away from the computer which is a major time suck for me. I'll need to look something up and once I find it it leads me to need to find out about something else, and so on and so on. What's the old saying-Curiosity Killed the Cat--In my case Curiosity Made the Cat Fat.
Sunday night I went to a great Cajun restaurant and I need to give a shout to Shuck n Dive in Ft Lauderdale for making it easy to be low carb. I had Andouille sausage, green beans and deviled eggs.
Yes!!!! Deviled eggs on the menu as a side dish and they were amazing. I was so afraid I'd crumble in the face of their yummy crawfish etouffee, but when I actually saw all of the options I had I was able to guide myself in the right direction. My husband had the cajun mixed grill which came with red beans and rice and hushpuppies and cole slaw. He didn't even ask for substitutions or for them to hold that stuff and he was able to not eat it. I don't know how. I nearly caved and had one of his hush puppies, but kept my hands to myself. I did, however, have a glass of a lovely Malbec. It was my first drop of wine in 3 weeks. And I proudly can say one was all I wanted. I attempted to have another glass last night with my Valentine's dinner, but only had a couple of sips and didn't really even like it. How strange for me. I made beautiful filet mignon-rare-lemon garlic butter broccoli and my own made up kind of carb heavy dessert. It was cream cheese blended with a little natural peanut butter and splenda and then lightened up with some whipped cream which I whipped with vanilla and a little more splenda. Then to make matters yummier I topped the whole thing with cocoa whipped cream. It was so delicious but definitely a special occasion treat.
I don't feel bad about any of my food/drink choices the past few days. They were a little heavier than I normally would have, but still not off plan and I had a lot of fun.
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and a great Valentine's day.

Oh, I had to dig deep for untapped stores of will power, that's for sure.

You are doing a great job on tapping into your will power. All of us cave into the carb monster or other traps sometimes but glad that you stood strong this time my friend. Eating good food that tastes good is the best gift we can give ourselves. Keep up the good work my friend. Love and Hugs{{{}}}

Thanks ladies. I'm finding the less I eat the "old way" the less I want to. I feel a odd sort of strength in being able to pass up the empty carbs.
