Nora’s Weight Loss: Day 15-Trivia Night
ByA couple of friends asked us to go to Trivia Night at a neighborhood pub. I have been trying to keep at home, where it is safe from most temptations. Last weekend, being forced into the real world, I grew confident that my husband and I could find healthy options at restaurants. But this was a wee bit different. I was kind of worried about my will-power when seeing everyone drinking a beer and eating tater-tots. Even my husband told me he would be one of the beer drinkers…he was only willing to go with me so far on this diet. (Thanks hubby!)
Knowing I was in Ketosis made me feel better about going out. Having the knowledge that I, unlike everyone at the table, was burning fat made it much easier. Now, I did hedge my bets. I ate my delicious 360 meal before we left to ward off hunger. That worked for the first two hours. I became a bit peckish but did not give in–I drank water all night long and still had a wonderful time. Next time, I just may take some nuts with me.

Amazing determination!!! Not sure I would have been able to keep myself for the tater-tots
Good Luck, more than half way through the challenge

Oh, Meghan…so you know how hard it was. Just picture it…2 buckets of ice cold beer in my face all night and 3 baskets of perfectly cooked tots being passed around the table. And my friends were just casually dunking the little potato perfections in gobs of ketchup without a thought or care in the world. I struggled, believe me. LOL!
