I totally missed 3/4 of this week due to illness.  I mad it to Tuesday boot camp, the first visit to Cabanas for dinner and then, BOOM, that was it!  After 4 days of going between my bed and the couch, I am DONE with being sick.  It's been a long time since illness has set me back like this, but today I feel much better and think that this new week can be my whipping post for getting my game back on again.  Back to a 4 pound total loss;  am striving to increase that number by the end of this coming week.  This has been a rough start for getting into a routine with this new lifestyle.  I hope that all the stumbling blocks are past me now and my program will go nowhere but forward!!  NO MORE SETBACKS!!

As for Cabanas, I was totally impressed and satisfied with the menu offerings and what I chose for my dinner. OMG, I have never tasted such a mouth watering, juicy, super tasty piece of filet in my life.  The pesto seasoning on top of it absolutely made this piece of meat heaven!  When one has a craving for beef, this filet fits the bill.  I left the restaurant totally satisfied, but I have been thinking about that meal since I walked out the door.  I realize there are other choices on the menu, but why bother when such a wonderful choice of beef can be chosen over the fish and chicken that are the staples for the rest of the week.  So, this is my go-to order for Tuesdays for a while!!

On with the new week!!!  I hope all my fellow lighten-uppers are faring well and feeling good about their progress so far.  I, my friends am a cheerleader for all of you - and I hope we all can overcome and conquer whatever presents itself this week that might impede our progress!!

CHARGE ON!
