Ready for a good laugh? Less than 24 hours after I posted my last post I was planning my next restaurant meal! I have to throw in that is was for a celebration, and not just because we didn't want to clean up dirty dishes. Why, oh why, didn't I remember to put Celebrations on the exception list?
Anyway, we packed the kids in the car and drove off into the darkness. This is how it went:
Salad - 2 plates @ 350 calories each = 700 (Oh man this already looks bad...)
Breadsticks - 3 @ 150 calories each = 450 (I should just stop tallying this up now...)
Peach tea - 1 glass @ 170 each = 170 (Oops what happened to the water?)
Stuffed chicken Marsala w/ garlic parmesan mash - 1/2 dish = 400 (Thankfully no dessert.)
For a grand total of 1720 calories.
SERIOUSLY??? IN ONE MEAL???
At this point, I'm coming to a couple of realizations:
- I shouldn't eat ANYTHING until I look it up on My Fitness Pal app. (iPhone users, free from the app store and claims to have access to the largest food database out there. So far there hasn't been anything I couldn't find the calorie count for.)
- It's beginning to feel like the smack in the face I felt after tracking my spending down to the $1 when we started the Dave Ramsey plan... except this is more like slamming 100 mph into a brick wall. It really hurts...
So, after failing miserably yesterday I've continued the trend thus far today. I'm just going to be happy it's the weekend and start over on Monday! It's Friday and the weather feels like summer in the middle of January. Opportunities have presented themselves, hence the celebratory dinner. God is gracious!
Oh, contemplating dinner... I'm deciding on whether to eat bread and water or order chinese takeout...
I may have to go for that hypnotherapy after all...
