Event I...Successful!

My sister and I had the "taste-testing" at the reception hall last night. They served all the beef/chicken and vegetarian meal options buffet style as well as desserts and wine. I ate small meals throughout the day to make sure I didn't go there with an empty stomach.
I started out with a small glass of white wine (had to make sure it was something I liked) and a few strawberries. For the dinner options I filled half my plate with lettuce and just a dab of the house dressing (vinaigrette). My sister tried most of the beef plates (I don't eat red meat) and I tried the vegetarian (portabello mushroom with red pepper and mozzarella cheese) and chicken (lemon chicken with wild rice). We shared a taste of the desserts and then I walked around and looked at all the table and linen options. I ate small portions of everything and I only ate until I was satisfied...I wasn't stuffed at all. I spent the rest of the night playing and chasing Rosie around the house.
The best part is.... The scale was down AGAIN this morning!!! We have a wedding on Saturday so I need to do the same thing. Hopefully the DJ or band will be good and I can get some APs on the dance floor! Ha!
