Tonight's dinner was my biggest temptation so far and possibly one of the biggest I will face during this challenge. It was my dad's birthday and my mom made one of my favorite meals, grilled chicken (as above) over spinach fettuccini with a cheesy, bell pepper cream sauce on top, served with sister scheubert's yeast rolls (with lots of butter), & salad with dressing. I tried to make my dinner at least resemble everyone else's so I made a bed of broccoli in place of the green spinach and ate the marinated chicken. I also passed up scratch chocolate cake and ice cream. It can only be uphill from here... I hope. I am also having a hard week in other areas of my life, starting a new job and dealing with money, friends, etc, and I do feel like if I stick to the challenge for the next few days it'll be a breeze when the other things in my life start letting up a little.
