Dining Out....

...It is possible to eat out and stay on track
- but it is best to plan ahead if possible.


Here are a few tips to guide you...

• Try to look at the menu online before you go out. This will give you a chance to calculate out your points of what looks appealing to you.
• Don't be afraid to ask for substitutions.  Will roasted potatoes be a better choice for you than the butter-infused rice pilaf?
• Have a back-up choice in your mind. Don't be de-railed  because they are out of the fresh fish that you had decided to order before you got to the restaurant.
• Choose your portions wisely- you may want to take half  of your plate home with you for another meal.

Moods & Foods: I was in a good mood today. We met with some RV friends for lunch today and had a great visit. It is hard to not enjoy yourself on a day like today.
Food choices were wise today. I had many veggies along with some good protein..and this was because I asked for substitutions!
