I didn't get crazed about how much I was eating or not. I allowed myself to have a FRIED appetizer (1/3 of it anyway). I allowed myself to have bread with butter. I allowed myself to eat about 1/2 of the Bang Bang chicken & shrimp. I allowed myself to eat some of the white rice that came with my Bang Bang (about 3 forks full). I finished off with 1/3 of a piece of 30th Anniversary Cheesecake (which is actually layers of chocolate cake with layers of plain cheesecake).
I was full when we left the restaurant but not stuffed. I didn't feel sick or sleepy. I felt good about what I had eaten & didn't feel the tiniest bit guilty.
Because I'm a freak & couldn't help myself I got on the scale this morning. It was up 1 lb. I know that I didn't really gain any weight over night. I did not freak or berate myself.
I'm in a very good fitness place right now.
My low back is twinge-y today. I'm glad I don't have to lift weights today. My cardio was going to consist of 45-50 minutes on the elliptical but for whatever reason the motion puts a lot of strain on my back. I'm going to get in some stretching & then will take a long, brisk walk this evening.
