today's the day

I feel really good about my progress.  I have been very careful not to eat to much and have had some set backs as far as my choices for eating but for the most part I am doing well.  I am down 4.5 lbs and am not bloated any more.  Today I am going to exercise.  We have been invited to go out to eat with some friends to visit with someone that has come into town.  We are going to a mongolian grill so I can choose fresh veggies and tofu to have cooked.  It will be a good experience for me.  I will be careful not to put in too much oil and toppings for my dinner and can drink water with my meal.  I won't have any crab rangoon or noodles so it will be a healthier choice for dinner.  I am going to have a lite lunch but not go to the restaurant hungry.  That is my plan and I'm sticking to it.
