So July was a month of freedom, and not because of Independence Day.
I work at a public school, so when they have summer vacation, I do as well. At this point I've been enjoying my summer, healthy style. I went to 3 barbeques, including my own with my family at home, and I made pretty decent choices when faced with temptation.
My co worker invited me to her family 4th of july BBQ that was being held on the 2nd. When I'm invited to things like that, if I'm really close with them, I'll have no shame and bring my Jenny food with me and eat it there. However, this was my co-worker, and although we were close, we weren't THAT close (yet). So I spoke with my consultant about it and she advised me once again that my best options were to either (a) eat my jenny food beforehand and just eat a small salad, or (b) make smart choices and stick with the greens and a super small portion of an entree.
i chose b.
which was kind of easy. I ended up getting some salad with some yummy sausage on top. i brought Jenny salad dressing (luckily I did, because they had creamy dressings).
two days later on the actual 4th, my cousin invited me to her other family's barbeque in Hempstead. I made similar choices there, but it was painful trying to avoid the "other" salads (potato salad, macaroni salad, seafood salad). Those were the best things about barbeques to me in the past, but I was able to come out on top.
here's what I looked like at this point.
