Weekend Success

Saturday Damian and I took my dad and my brother Philip up to Tampa to see the new Batman movie at the IMAX theater. Philip turned 16 in May and this was his birthday present. Well worth waiting for!

Anyway, in the past I would have used a day trip as an excuse to just eat whatever I wanted because healthy food was not available. That did not happen this time. It helped that I just wasn't very hungry to begin with, but I grabbed some Crystal Light to packets at the gas station and had a couple of South Beach Living bars with me.

I ended up not even eating the bars. We went to a Mexican place for lunch (the Southern place didn't open til 3, and that's when the movie started). I went with a taco salad for lunch. I'm pretty sure the meat wasn't the leanest ground beef in the world, but it was what was available. Had some lettuce, tomato, guacamole, sour cream (not much as it wasn't low fat) and cheese. All in all, not bad, and I didn't even eat more than half of it.

We stopped at a McDonald's for dinner on the way home and fortunately it was right in front of a Publix. My dad and I opted for dinner at Publix. I got one of the new South Beach Living wrap meals. It was the turkey and bacon one. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I was even more surprised at how I was able to avoid the temptation of other food.

I think there was something else I was going to add to this post, but I got distracted by my kids and other responsibilities! Oh well.
