Week 2 Day 7

Feeling better about things today. I have lost .4lbs.
Last night for dinner a friend and I went to Olive Garden. I had 2 bowls of mostly broth minestrone soup ('cause I am not a huge fan of beans and over cooked pasta so I just sip the broth from it) and 2 plates of salad. Reasonable plates. And one bread stick.
HOLY SMOKES! I went and looked up the nutrition values for my dinner and was shocked to find that the serving of salad was 350 calories/serving! The soup wasn't bad though at only 100 calories per serving. So it looks like I ended up taking in about 900 calories from eating soup and salad. And another 150 from eating a single breadstick. It is truly hard to find a decent meal when eating out. That is very frustrating. Oh well. Can't dwell on it for too long. Just gotta work out and get past it.
Today I have had a bowl of cereal (Post Bran Flakes) 100 calories, Sandwich (1 slice white bread, mustard, ham, turkey and pickle) 240 calories, serving of pretzels and 1/2 serving cheetos 150 calories.
Calorie count prior to dinner is 490. For dinner I am making grilled chicken, corn on the cob and green beans.

Need some momentum. Keeping this stuff up is hard right now. Planning to move the treadmill and elliptical into the living room in place of a sofa. We shall see how it goes. Fingers crossed. Hubby has rejected this idea for over a year. He is working out with me in the evenings now so hopefully he won't mind having them in here so we can watch tv while we work out.
