Mac Grill

You guys that battle the bulge like me ever see a friend that looks fantastic and then you think that you must look terrible?
That happened to me this weekend. My best friend came in from St. Louis this weekend and I know that she is already tall and beautiful, but she has been seeing a trainer and has made crazy progress. I have thought very seriously about doing the same, however, there just isn't any money for something like that. She was going to come and meet me on Saturday so we could have some "girl" time before we all went to dinner for my birthday. I just cringed. She has lost weight and it looking stunning.

We went to Macaroni Grill for dinner. Were we all good? Nope. She picked at her pasta like a skinny girl would while Jay and I plowed through ours as though someone would shortly come zipping past our table and scoop up our plates. We both were satisfied when we ordered dessert. Kyla and I both had been drooling for this amazing lemon passion cake for months. It basically was why I decided to go there for my birthday. The waitress vaguely mentioned that the portion sizes were cut in half. Jay made some passing joke about how then they should be half the price now. When the cake was delivered, she and I were very let down. It was a fourth of the size that it used to be. I am guessing that the restaurant was catching hell for having something so decadent be so large a portion. Or maybe they are just getting cheap. I ate slowly and decided that it was all I actually needed. I didn't feel like I needed to be rolled out of the place like a wine barrel so I believe that the skinny girl attitude was there in spirit. Normally I eat so much that I feel terrible, but not that night.
I am not saying that we were good, but I was not bad either.
Of course, I can not take too much credit. We left and drove straight to the liquor store to get me some birthday 901 tequila. I love it. I know that alcohol is empty calories but I have to say that it was quite tasty. I am going to workout today when I get home so that I will feel better. Wish me luck.
