It's day nine and I made such a rookie move. We had some helpers assist us in moving our play-set out of our old backyard and to thank them for their efforts I decided to provide Olive Garden for dinner. It's easy, yummy, and fairly universally acceptable to both children and adults alike.
I placed my order without really thinking. I ordered the stuff I like and lots of breadsticks! As part of the order I got a 1/2 gallon of that amazing Zupa Toscana. I love that stuff but it's 220 cals for 8oz which is not very much. I'm a volume girl. To not get too tempted I have to keep me psychologically happy, and that means lots of veggies and calorie cheap fruits. Thankfully, when I got there, I realized my error and asked for a single to-go portion of their minestrone soup (220 cals total for 16 ounces).
One of my best tips is if in doubt find a clear broth soup, veggie is all the better. It's hard to rack up too many calories like that. Then I just had to ignore those amazing smelling breadsticks. I didn't allow myself to have one until just before bed so I couldn't have more than one and I ate it super slowly to enjoy the flavor. One of the best parts of a low cal approach to weight loss is you don't have give anything up. You just have less.
I am in the zone! Everyday gets better. Seriously guys, soooo glad we're doing this!
BMR CALC: 1,866-1,245= 621 Calorie Deficit! Going strong!
