July 22-25, 2011- Days 12-15 of the Dukan Diet

So is it just me or do the weekends seem like they are getting shorter and shorter?! Talk about the weekend flying by in the blink of an eye! 

I am finally starting to get the hang of this diet finally.... hubby came and took me out to lunch on Friday and I am learning it is easier than I thought to find something to eat at restaurants that is acceptable with the Dukan Diet! Yay! The weekend was again, another challenge that I overcame, I am so proud of myself. Hubby and his friend smoked some awesome ribs on Saturday (yes, I was able to have them at they just used hubby's homemade Dry Rub) that I was able to enjoy as the ribs were very lean! I made them new potatoes and steamed asparagus for myself. Sunday, was the toughest day as we went a birthday party for a 5 year old... so yes as you can imagine challenges as every table! lol 

I was so good, I munched on raw veggies along with ONLY eating the hamburgers without the bun and no cheese (so sad). Plus, there was the box of assorted chips sitting on the table, but I was strong enough to say NO! However, I almost failed at cake time, I mean who, who can turn away a slice of cake from Publix?! Me!!! By the time we left I was on my 4th big bottle of water, which had to be what kept me filling full. I was very proud of myself as I thought for sure that I would cave at the cake honestly!!! 

So tonight we are having a ginger-terryaki style Tuna dish with assorted veggies that hubby will get to enjoy with whole grain rice! I haven't made this dish in a while so it will be interesting to see if I can make it right LOL

Friday night was fun as we went out bowling with a friend, which we haven't done in years and of course I lost.... However, at least I broke 100 in 2 out of the 3 games and bowled a 205 in one game! I've learned beer does make you a better bowler, haha! 

Saturday, was an up early morning as we had to run errands, get the cars serviced...but at least most of all of the errands were over by noon and then we were able to just relax! As we relaxed and flipped on the tv (which of course for my hubby went to the cartoon networks) and the original version of Thundercats was on! I couldn't believe it!! Snarf, Lino along with the whole gang..lol I felt so old! I've realized it is hilarious to sit and watch old shows from when you were little as they seem so cheesy lol but they did at least get out a good message to kids. 

Sunday, was another early morning thanks to Bailey who just wouldn't let mommy and daddy sleep past 7:15! We got ready to head out to the birthday party which was an interesting drive into Orlando... We are almost out of Zellwood when out of the "woods" comes this guy with his shirt draped over his shoulder, a crazy long beard and long hair that looks completely matted.. my first thought was "Pay attention as I'm going to hear about a murder on the news tonight" then I look over to the railroad tracks leading out of the woods, here comes this woman walking down the tracks carrying her shoes, an over sized shirt on that says I love something and her hair all crazy and falling out of a pony tail!! Hubby looks at me and does like a full body shiver then says "Oh that's not even right." I just shook my head and focused on driving lol 

We make it to the birthday party of which we had an awesome time! Although, I think the adults loved the inflatable water slide as much as the kids (maybe even a little more)! The pool and the water slide were perfect for a hot Florida summer day! Poor hubby needed some Aleeve and a nice hot shower after a couple times down the water slide and encountering the rocks at the bottom of the slide in the little shallow pool part (or so I'm told).... So we had a nice quiet evening of just relaxing last night which was nice after a fun day!
