Still haven't been eating the NS food. Last night I didn't eat all day until about 8:30 pm. Went to dinner at Applebees for my friend's birthday. I had never been, so had no idea what to order. I ended up ordering the steak and shrimp with garlic potatoes. I don't usually eat much red meat but one of the kids wanted to try the steak along with their sliders, so I went with it. I gave half the shrimp to the kid and a bite of steak. The steak was actually really good, cooked perfectly. The shrimp were kinda blah. I also had a pomegranate margarita (yum). I didn't eat too much of the appetizer sampler, just one cheese stick and one teensy weensy piece of quesidilla. I did eat about half the kid's garlic mashed tatars, and she gave me one of her sliders (which was blah).

We finished it off with mini desserts, I had the chocolate mousse. 

Honestly I don't know what I'm going to do about the current rut I'm in with this NS program. This week I'll be receiving my 2nd NS food order. I decided to order one more month, just because having the food around gives me no excuse to substitute bad food choices, even though I do at times. I still have a half month of food left over from last month. The good news is I haven't slid backwards. The bad news is I don't have a cohesive plan going forward. I'm trying, but as anyone who has ever tried to do this whole diet thing knows, it's not easy, and as many millions of people who have dieted over the years, not one has come up with a plan to change habits that will work across the board, so dieters are still reinventing the wheel in that regard.

Ugh, I think I need a chocolate cake or two.
