On Thursday, May 14th, we celebrated my hubby’s birthday at Dolce Vita here in Eleuthera and threw caution to the wind. This restaurant is simply fabulous and we didn’t want to worry about calories as this was our first time eating here.
Paolo and Manon have created a very cozy atmosphere and Paolo is an amazing chef. We started the night with a couple of drinks – a Bahama Mama for Geoff and a Yellow Bird for me. Then we had appetizers – grilled portobello mushrooms and conch spring rolls. On to the main course – Geoff had venison and I had pork medallions parmagiana. Then came dessert – OH! MY! GOD! Geoff had an Italian version of Mille Feuille (not sure of the right word in Italian) served with freshly made ginger gelato. I had molten chocolate cake (very dark chocolate) served with a freshly made gelato called Kiss-Kiss which is a mixture of chocolate, peanut butter and almonds.
Everything we had was made by Paolo and Manon, including the gelato.
It made for a very special evening.
We had already decided, though, that come Friday we were seriously back to dieting. And, that’s exactly what we did.
I weighed myself on Friday morning and was 167.3! Yes, that’s up, I think even from my starting weight for this blog.
However, I weighed myself this morning and I was 165.6. So, I’m definitely headed in the right direction.
Geoff and I have decided to try to lose 10 lbs in 3 weeks. Given the amount of weight we both need to lose, this is not an unattainable goal.
As I have now taken to weighing myself daily, I will try to post daily. I’m hoping that if I slip even a little then weighing myself daily will help me get back on track more quickly.
