FOOD: Small Victories.

Yes of course I would like a work lunch/meeting the week I decide to lose weight.
-___- (sarcasm)

I work in Galveston, so we stopped by a local cafe/bakery/antique shop called Sunflower Cafe. The menu had several choices---most of which seemed healthy. The first thing that caught my eye was the avocado shrimp wrap with fries- crunchy fried shrimp, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and jalapenos on a flour tortilla.

But what did I get?


My lunch. (which tasted much better than it looked) via my instagram.

A grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato and onion, jalapenos and avocado on a wheat ciabatta bun with mixed vegetables instead of fries.

And here's the kicker: it was AMAZING!!!

Being realistic- I'm not going to lose 100 pounds in 3 months so cheating isn't bad. BUT when you can make small changes, especially early in the weight loss journey (such as veggies over fries...baked or grilled instead of fried), then do that. It could mean the difference in HUNDREDS of calories.
