My mom's 60th Birthday

Hi all and happy Saturday!   I have quite a day planned.  I am going for my walk bringing my little one to Mc D's to play in the playland and then I'm going to a restaurant called the Sporting Club for my Mom's surprise 60th birthday gathering.  I'm so excited because my sister and I have really faked her out.  She doesn't think we are doing anything for her birthday.  I'm supposed to start mechanincally soft tomorrow so i thought I'd start a little early and have broiled scallops tonight.  Do you girls think that would be ok?  I know I shouldn't try new things when out away from the house, but nothing I've tried so far has been a problem.  I'll eat slooooooowwwwwly and chew really well.  I'm excited because my friend let me borrow a dress and I have the perfect shoes and earrings.  I haven't dressed up in a while so this is kind of a treat for me too.  I have good news about my weight too.  I'm almost down 35lbs. (from before the prep 237.4lbs.) today!!  Yippee!  I'm so close to onederland I can taste it.  Still having issues with getting all my meals in, but I feel great!  I get all my protein through shakes and all my vitamins.  Hope you all have great weekend!!!

Happy Birthday to your mom. Scallops might be a little tough as they are quite dense but if you make sure your bites are really small and you chew really well you should be ok.

What fun!!! I would take a second glance at scallops, too, but chew chew chew, you might be fine...I would have a protein shake befoire I went to make sure you aren't too empty, then slowly try s stuff a little at a time...I think i had a baked potato my first meal "out" happy Birthday to your mom, and take pictures!!!
