Eat at Home Challenge Day 5

This morning I got up and drove to Tampa to see Michael and Leif. This was a trip that had been planned for weeks, and they had planned to take me to a restaurant for lunch called Thai Ginger. When I mentioned at the beginning of this challenge that I had already committed to "dining out" once during the week this is what i was referring to, and i must say that it was pretty good. We started out with spring rolls and coconut shrimp for appetizers and then I had Amazing Chicken (Yes, that is the name of it) which was Chicken and Vegetables in a sweet peanut sauce. I have had it before at another thai restaurant and loved it, and i must say that this place tasted just as good.
Then we went shopping for groceries, since we would be cooking for dinner at home that evening.
Leif suggested that we all do a session of Zumba that he had on video. It was quite fun and we all burned a few calories which was a good idea considering the cookies that we would have later.
On to dinner, We all worked together and made a delicious Eggplant Parmesan, some Pesto Pasta and Garlic Bread. (Michael's dog Sachi co-stars in the photo) Everything turned out really good, and surprisingly i was full and did not go back for a second plate. But then came out the pillsbury cookies, buy one get one free, how could we resist? I ate too many! but after a drive back to Orlando and a 12 hour fast (Yes, I realize that is too long to fast) I had a morning blood sugar of 125.
