It has been a wonderful weekend, with amazing wedding festivities. Congratulations to Luke Dunnivan and Katie Graves. May God bless you with a long life together...and as the father of the bride said in his toast, "May your greatest dreams be the least you receive".
More good news on the diet front. Due to planning ahead, I was able to enjoy the meals at all the festivities and still be faithful to the diet.
For the co-worker's birthday lunch, we went to Mexican. I had a Chicken Taco salad, no sour cream. I forgot to ask for no guacamole, but was able to push it over to the side.
That night at the wedding rehearsal, I had baked salmon, caprese salad, ceasar salad, and a little chicken. I skipped the wild rice and bread. There was cheesecake for dessert(!)...but I pulled out a pack of Proticinno and mixed it up in my water glass. The creamy, chocolaty mocha was a perfect substitute.
Wedding reception. I had both a Proticinno and a Rocky Road protein bar in my purse, just in case the meal was all pasta. Fortunately, there were plenty of good choices. I had spinach salad, lots of asparagus, and a chicken breast. I passed by the rolls, potatoes, and the fresh fruit. (Fruit probably would not have been a deal breaker, but it's not on the list). When the cake came around, I pulled out my Rocky Road protein bar and had it.
Since I wore a dress to the wedding, I didn't have a waistband to clip my pedometer to count my steps. I clipped it to the waistband of my pantyhose and hoped that all the movement on the dance floor was counting as steps. Sure enough, when I got home and could actually look at it, I had almost 11,000 steps! Must have been the Macarena and Electric Slide that put it over. :)
