Dangerous and Delicious!

Sunday is the "bread and butter" of our weekend! That's the only day that Perry and I have off from work together so we try to plan fun things to do.

This last Sunday was especially nice since we were celebrating a Bronco victory! We headed to the Outback Steakhouse which is a pretty decent chain. Normally, steak isn't really our style but just to brag a little - Perry has been awarded Salesman of the Month for two months in a row. That meant two $25 Gift Cards! The choice on the cards was either Carrabba's Italian Grill or Outback. We know from experience that Outback has T.V.'s in the bar and the husband is a HUGE Football fan so the choice was made. They start you off with a fresh loaf of dark bread and real butter. Dangerous!

He made this weird face on purpose! At least he's enjoying his gift-card-moment!

Also a Crown-n-Coke as a special treat. He earned it. Hat ON in a restaurant? For shame.

I relished in my refreshing mocktail of soda, splash of cran. and a lime. I'm actually kind of liking this "no drinking policy" due to having one on the way. I sometimes miss sipping on a glass of red wine which is/was my favorite type of alcohol however, it cuts down on the meal tab not to order this, and the sleepiness that sets in afterwards always sent me straight to the couch once we got home.

My salad was nice and fresh and I ate it all! The dressing was honey mustard vinaigrette which was recommended by our awesome server. Delicious!

For my entree, I ordered the Sliced Fillet with Mushroom Sauce and a side of garlic mashed potatoes. This was a great choice since the meat was so tender. I guess a little red meat is good for putting iron into the blood. This was a pretty calorie dense meal but I ended up taking a few scraps back to the truck for the dogs to enjoy. I also was able to just have a light snack in place of dinner since I was still so satisfied from this meal.

Still, the scale was pretty precarious this morning- 189! This splurge definitely showed-up as a gain so it's time to focus on light and healthy this week. My goal is to do my new favorite workout DVD at least three times before Friday.

Better get on this!
