Tonights dinner and plan for next week

I want to start by saying I just had the best dinner!
First I went through the calorie counter, because we are having chicken fajitas, and Kyle bought chips and cheese dip.....I wanted to see what I could eat/couldn't eat and somehow stay inside my target....plan, plan, plan
So...I traded flour tortillas for crispy romain lettuce leaves. (They're leaves right?)
Anyway, so kinda like a spring roll, but mexican style. Then I took some bottled salsa (8cal a tbls) and added diced tomatoes, onions and jalapenos..to make it extra chunky, therefore feels like more. But hardly any calories...just watch salt in the salsa. I did add, 1/2 tbls of sourcream to each, but next time I know I can go without it. Plus no cheese, because I'm saving for the cheese dip...
OMG they were wonderful!!
The crispy lettuce was actually BETTER than the tortillas. No more of that doughy crap for me! They were a little messy and took some time to hold it just right...but filled me right up!
Then I instantly, while still full, re-evaluated my food diary. Right now, I don't even want the chips and cheese. Check back in an hour.
I am planning on having a protein shake for dessert, Kyle got ice cream...but I need the calories and protein to bring down my fat% intake for today.
MOVING ON TO GOALS FOR NEXT WEEK....
1. Get to gym at least 3 times a week - build up to 30mins on eliptical.
2. keep fat intake for the week no more than 30% of my calories
3. while at gym, scope out trainers also get as much free advice that I can
4. check out Zumba class at gym hope to join in soon
5. continue reading "Ending Overeating"
6. Remember how good it feels to choose what to eat, not feel like giving in to compulsive eating

Tomorrow is weigh in day, hoping to be down.
12 weeks til my birthday - goal to be down 20lbs!!!
