Yesterday was my birthday so all bets were off! For breakfast, I had a slice of apple coffee cake and 100% mango orange juice. For dinner we went to one of my favorite restaurants and I had the Halibut Imperial, which is halibut baked in a little dish with crab meat on top, all covered with a sour cream sauce with shallots and garlic and cheddar cheese. YUM. It came with wild rice pilaf, sauted carrots and sugar snap peas, and green salad with tarragon vinagrette. One of the best meals ever. I had part of a chocolate coconut creme brulee for dessert. A few hours later, I had a slice of my birthday cake

Also had a soda for the first time in a week.
On Saturday I had a can of tomato soup and we went out for lunch- I had some halibut chowder and half of a turkey sandwich that had turkey, tomato, cucumber, sprouts, green pepper, pickles, pepper jack cheese and guacamole on it. Yummy. For "dinner" Paul and I had tortilla chips with hummus.
In spite of the food eaten on my birthday weekend, I lost 4 pounds last week according to the scale this morning. Thank you, Food Diary

And today I am back to eating well again, with the exception of some coffee cake or birthday cake. I'm planning to be extra frugal with my other food intake to make up for the cake.
