It was a great weekend but tough staying on track. Weekends are tough because we like to socialize and that always means food will be involved.

I would like to be someone who can just order the salad and be a happy camper but I would be lying if I said that was who I am.

I like to cook, I like to eat, I like wine! I like to entertain and be entertained. Some how over the last year I have finally found a balance between continued weight loss while enjoying good food and wine.

Moderation is part of it but I also have found a way to make food choices that don't make me feel like I am in purgatory.

I love seafood so I tend to stick with that when eating out. I eat a side salad and do a veggie as a side. I skip starches but do eat a piece of bread if I really want it. It has to be really worth the splurge, I won't waste calories on substandard bread!

I do like wine so that is my splurge. If I have to have dessert I share it with my husband.

I don't think you need to cut out restaurant eating to lose weight. I eat out at least once a week and have managed to have a steady weight loss doing so.

I did get my workouts in this weekend as always. I am into step lately and did that today. Yesterday was a  circuit training dvd.
