Alcohol, T.G.I. Fridays, and Wedge Salads

This past weekend was the first weekend back on the wagon.  I have been eating healthier and I have been monitoring my intake, but now I am back on the wagon.  I have cut down on calories, fats, and carbs.  The motivation that I have are pictures of me from 2007.  I was lighter and happier.  I am doing this for me.  I would like to lose 50 pounds in 3 months.  My birthday is on May 22 and I would like to fit in clothes that I bought a couple of years ago.

This weekend  began as any other.  Since it is Lent, I made tuna steak, egg drop soup, and broccilli for dinner.  The meal was good, but I will cook the tuna differently.  I cooked it too much.  The egg drop soup was fantastic. 

BTW....I am not happy with the quality of pictures taken on my Blackberry :(

Along with the tuna, I made a low fat spicy mayo dip.

Saturday was an interesting day.  I began my day with eating the left over egg drop soup.  For lunch I ate tuna salad and veggies.

For dinner, I went out to T.G.I. Fridays.  My brother, sister-in-law, boyfriend, and I went out to dinner and wanted to hit up the casino.  Going to Friday's I figured that the menu would not have very many choices for me.  I decided on the Shrimp Key West, which was great.  The appetizer that I ate, which is now my favorite appetizer, a classic wedge salad.  The salad was a wedge of iceberg, bacon bits, tomato, and blue cheese dressing and crumbles.  This salad was WONDERFUL.

For dinner last night, I decided to make soup with vegetable broth.  I threw in some sirloin and mushrooms and green onions.  I made a wedge salad to go along side of it.  The wedge has Walden Farms Blue Cheese dressing, turkey bacon, cucumber, tomato, and a few crumbles of blue cheese.

The only issue that I had to contend with this weekend, alcohol.  Alcohol will be on obstacle that I will have to overcome.
