Lunch Date

My handsome hubby asked me to a last minute lunch date today at Great Eggspectation. I will rarely say no to that one, but it does raise a concern for many- What to eat when eating out?

 My choice was a salad with spinach, berries, almonds, cheese cubes, and grilled chicken. It came to the table and was so pretty! I wanted to dig right in but then I noticed that it was covered in dressing. Bummer! I had asked for the dressing on the side. Often times we think we are making a healthy choice with a salad, but the dressing is usually a deal breaker on that note. So I asked our server to please take it back and bring me one with no dressing. That was hard for me to do. I was once a server, and I really hate to be the difficult diner. But I had been very clear about my request, and I didn't want someone else's mistake to get me off track. The replacement salad that he brought back to me somehow wasn't nearly as pretty as the first, but it tasted just as good. Even better since it was just how I like it. I just had to remind myself, "Don't get mad; get what you want," which was a good strategy. We both enjoyed our lunch and had a nice date. Even thinking about a return trip on Sunday when we have a friend visiting from out of town:)


And then when we were heading back to the car and waiting for the elevator the strangest feeling came over me. I felt so good that I just had the desire to bust out a PiYo move! Crazy right? Lucky for me, Bill is a good sport and agreed to take my photo. This is really the best I could do while wearing flip flops, but I wasn't taking my shoes off in that garage. Ha ha!
