Red Grape Overload!

I have 3 things to say...GO TO JOES! First off, this birthday dinner was outstanding. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is craving seafood or want a tasty steak. The worst part of the night was deciding what to get. I stressed big time. I had in the back of my head that I wanted to be some what healthy. Unfortunately, our friend Ryan (manager at Joes) did not let this happen. He told me to throw that idea out the door. So my friends...i did. I want all out! So glad I did though. It gives me more motivation to stay on track and put these fancy dinners aside for awhile.
The menu from last night is listed below:

Drinks:
Dirty Martini - extra dirty with blue cheese olives
Glass of red wine - Malbec
Bombay Sapphire and Tonic x 2 for Monster

Appetizers - Monster and I shared
Smogasborg of seafood - seafood ceviche, shrimp cocktail, lobster and king crab legs
Crab Bisque soup

Entree -
Parmesan Crusted Halibut - So good and such a big portion!
Roasted Summer Corn - shared side - really didn't make a dent. This was so good. Glad we got this before the season of corn comes to an end.
Lyonnaise hashbrowns with onions - OMG! - shared side - really didn't make a dent, but still dreaming of these.
Filet - Monster dinner. He didn't share either...it's ok :). I had plenty to eat.

Just when it was time to un-button the pants...3 desserts came!
Apple pie with ice cream - I probably could have forced down the whole thing.
Havana Cake - so much better than it sounds. Spongey frosting amazingness.
Banana Foster Cake - It was fine, not my fave.

These desserts were just delicious. We didn't eat too much of them. Monster asked if we could actually bring them home. Is that tacky? I say hell no!

So basically dinner was a 10! Thank you Monster for making my b'day amazing even though you did get a side ache last night from eating too much. Ha!

So today...wow. I am back on WW track. I slept in, so I will be hitting the gym after work for a serious cardio session.

My meal plan for today:
Breakfast - 2 pieces of toast (45 calories each), one laughing cow swiss cheese and a soy sausage.
Mid AM snack - choco chip granola bar
Lunch - Fit & Active Pep pizza pocket from Aldi, pretzels with hummus and red grapes.

Snack and Dinner are TBD. I will fill you in later on what was decided. As of now I am in a red grape zone. I may have had one too many, but I love them! The grapes I picked up at Aldi on Monday are huge and so tasty! I may be in red grape overload until the gym...Ug.

Have a good day!
