DD - So what? Eat out anyway....

2BoysMom · 01-19-2012, 02:09 PM

Some of my coworkers were going out to lunch. Since it was a DD, I really didn't think that would work for me, BUT......

I just had the BEST salad ever from Cafe Rio. Just lots of romaine lettuce, fire-grilled chicken, pico di gallo and fresh cilantro.

The pico gave it a mouth feeling of dressing and tons of flavor (had plenty of onions in it, nobody better want to come into my office this afternoon), the grilled chicken gave it a smoky deliciousness and the romaine was crisp and fresh.

How much damage did this little (nope, not little - this sucker was pretty big...) treat cost me in calories? A whopping 146.

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.....doing the happy dance!

ITA!! I had a DD on the road...no choice but to eat out. We ended up at a family restaurant where I got a fantastic crock of French onion soup and a diet soda. Easy on both my wallet AND my calories for the day.

It can be done!! Great job!!

I often grab a Subway salad or a Wendy's small chili on a DD. Whatever works, IMHO!
