Hi all! Today started and ended just like a Monday but the middle of the day was actually great. Breakfast involved a super tasty open faced Eggwich with sliced tomatoes from our garden. We had a group lunch today at Ristorante Allegria. I could honestly make an entire meal out of the bread and dipping sauce and eat their homemade pastas all day long. But, I did not….here is what I’m proud of.
- Keeping my bread to only 3 baguette slices like the below.
- Picking a lunch special that included a side salad to start and half portion.
- Skipping not only pasta but doubling the garlic mashed potatoes with double veggies.
- Leaving their homemade fried onion rings behind.
- Counting my appetizer and dessert bites as well as balancing it out at dinner.
I had originally planned on eating an entire BLTA for dinner but decided I’d try it out – open faced so I still had to eat it like a full sandwich. I didn’t miss the other slice of bread and saved on points.
