My family loves to eat at this restaurant called Hudson's. My husband and I found it by accident last Valentine's Day and we took the family back to eat the following week. We've been going there at least once a week ever since. If you are in the Hudson, Ohio area, I encourage you to check it out. They also just opened a new restaurant over in the Montrose area.
The first night that we had dinner there, they had Banana's Foster for dessert. YUM! They only have it on special occasions, but if you are there and you see it on the dessert menu, I encourage you to order it. My favorite menu item is the French Chicken Baguette and the chips. They make the chips there and they are to die for. The kids menu is very good and lots for the boys to choose from other than chicken nuggets. The service is great, too. We've come to love having Sam (short for Samantha) and Nick wait on us. They smile when they see us and they have become like family.
Why am I telling you all this on a blog that is supposed to be about weight loss? Because to be successful at weight loss, you must not deprive yourself or you will not stick to the plan. My secret to eating out is to cut my dinner into a half portion and take the rest home for another meal. I have treated myself at least once a week and if you do it right, you can indulge in a great meal without going overboard.
On the WW plan, you can use the Weekly Points Plus Allowance to help you not feel deprived and I encourage you to use them. I'm pretty sure that tonight I used all of my Weekly Points Plus on my dinner. I had the Pasta Bolognese. I only ate half, but it was definitely worth every bite.
I might add that I did walk on the treadmill for over an hour today while reading my Kindle. Remember to get up off the couch and be active then treat yourself to avoid feeling deprived. And if you are in the mood for some great food, I encourage you to check out Hudson's. I hope to see you there!
