Short term goal - ACHIEVED!

My short term goal was to lose 30 pounds by Saturday - I set that goal about a month ago, when we made reservations for an amazing restaurant for Saturday night. It's Hudson Valley Restaurant Week, so we are going to Xavier's X2O, http://www.xaviars.com/yonkers/index.html, where an appetizer, entree and desert is only $28. Considering that the least expensive entree on the menu is $25, it's an amazing deal. The menu for restuarant week, http://www.hudsonvalleyrestaurantweek.com/menus/X2O.pdf, looks amazing, and I can't wait to splurge on great glass of red wine and a roll. The meal itself I will ask to have prepared so that I am not "cheating," and I will alter my calorie intake for the rest of the day so that I do not go over my alottment. I'm looking forward to enjoying a special evening out with my husband and another couple who we love.
