Tonight we went out for dinner. We went to a steak place...steak is definitely OK on South Beach, as long as your diet isn't only red meat. My husband and I both got our steaks with a salad and a baked sweet potato. Dinner was good, but my husband and son were interested in the brownie from the dessert menu. I told him he could have it if it was a sugar-free brownie made with whole-wheat flour. He, of course, said it was (and almost had my son convinced he was serious)! Well, after much persuading, I told him he could have the brownie and I would get the cheesecake...just this once. When the waiter came back to take our dessert order, he ordered his brownie and I ordered NOTHING! I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I didn't really want a cheesecake that badly, and why ruin the last 3 weeks for just a cheesecake? Well, at least not one that isn't from the Cheesecake Factory. My husband and son ate the brownie, I tasted the ice cream, and that was then end of it.
So, it was a huge step considering just 2 weeks ago I was forgetting about the diet all together and scarfing down a creme-filled chocolate-glazed doughnut! I was, and still am, rather proud of myself for resisting the temptation of dessert. Now, if only I could force myself to get up and exercise...
On the menu for the rest of this week:
We are revisiting the Turkey & White Bean Chili, since it was such a big hit last time!
Grilled Pork Chops with Butternut Squash (I am told that the Squash needs to be cooked "like my grandmother makes it")
Rigatoni with Sausage & Mozzarella
Chicken Breasts stuffed with Spinach & Goat Cheese
Meatloaf with Gravy & Sweet Potatoes
ON TO WEEK 4!
