My first dinner out

So tonight I had my biggest challenge yet since being on the 17 day diet, a meal out.  I promised my good friend L a birthday dinner at one of our favorite spots.  We went to 121 and it was perfect!  I went online ahead of time and scoped out the menu to figure out what I could have, what I needed to substitute and did so without fail.  The damn bread basket is my nemesis and somehow I managed to keep my cool and not eat a bite of the delicious bread with some sort of whipped butter on the side...umm where was I again?  So obviously the bread basket was a bit of a distraction but I managed to avoid it and felt good doing so.  We ordered dinner and I started with a salad and then had a portebello mushroom with aged balsalmic reduction and lots of yummy veggies including a bed of spinach. I asked them to sub out extra veggies for the potatoes which they happily did. I left dinner feeling satisfied, happy and NOT guilty because I stayed on plan. I didn't drink and I didn't have dessert and guess what?  I didn't miss it!  I was just fine.  Clearly I am not wasting away and those 2 courses were just perfect!  I am coming up on  Day 4 and feeling great.  Tomorrow is weigh in day at weight watchers.  I ordered a new scale to hopefully help with positive reinforcement.  It reads .2 lb increments which is helpful and seemed like a much better scale than the one I step on now 10 times and get 7 different readings.  So frustrating!  So tomorrow my plan is to meal plan the next 13 days of cycle 1 and gather more ingredients to make cooking healthy delicious and easy.  At some point I'd like to add a recipe tab on here.  That would be super helpful to access and help me plan one meal and one day at a time.
