Survived My First BBQ

Decided I was sick of sitting home and needed fresh air. Wentto a BBQ about 5 minutes from my house. They had lots of good food but I sipped on my water. I said I had a stomach virus. It wasn't as bad as I thought. Sure I wanted a steak skewer but the water had filled me up, plus I would not even dare think about it! I looked at the thin hostess and notcied she only nibble or a little of this and a little of that-that will be me someday!! I did stop and got an icy -I know we are allowed sugar free pops. This isn't sugar free but low calories and it's a banana/choc italian ice. The kind that come in little plastic cups (usually with woodedn forks). It tastes amazing! Had my protein shake first (4oz).

I was proud the I survived the BBQ and my hubby had a good time.

Congrats!

Thats a great non scale victory.. Keep it up!!

Wow Girl! I'm impressed that you got out so soon. Did you get very tired? I went to my grandson's HS graduation today and it wiped me out. I thought how strong I was because I've been walking but sitting up and visiting for two or three hours was really too much.

You did really good with not eating anything there. You will be that skinny hostess before you know it.

Thanks so much! I sat the entire time and lasted about 4 1/2 hours. I am confortablably resting on my recliner now-but feel fine. Glad you were able to get out alittle too! I did barely no walking so that probably made a difference I am still a work in progress when it comes to walking! Keep up the great work!!

Good for you, NJ. I have no doubt that you will be that skinny hostess by next summer!

Thanks! When I was looking at her she just ate a little bit of everything. SHe kept busy cooking and clearing things. She even drank beer that was 64 calories! She sat there wearing her bikini top and at the age of 45 she looked really good. I was thinking about what I would wear to a pool party next year! I'll eventually just have to say I am on a diet when they see me eating very little. Thanks again for all the support!!

With your thinking in that mode.... you'll go far !!!

congrats hun!!you did great!!! thanks for keeping us posted
