Week 1, Day 2

I've GOT to go grocery shopping. I'm running out of fruit and vegetables! It's been a long time since I said that. I could really go for some asparagus and strawberries.

I'm really proud of myself so far. I've been diligent with keeping my serving sizes and garnishes in check.

Not bad! Though I am rather disappointed with Applebee's latest selection of Weight Watchers entrees. The chili-lime chicken salad was sub-par. There was maybe 1 oz of chicken on top, and the rest of it consisted of spinach leaves, pimentos, and mushrooms, with very few teeny tiny pieces of tomatoes, carrots, and cheese. They can be a little more generous with the tomatoes and carrots. What happened to the Teriyaki shrimp and steak? That stuff was truly enjoyable. Now everything either has a million mushrooms or has that nasty brown mushroom gravy. Enough of the mushrooms. They also used to have WW-approved French onion soup and a dessert - not anymore. Boo!
