Yesterday was terrible. TERRIBLE. I was having dinner with a colleague (she was cooking) and since I had no way of knowing exactly what went into her recipes, I really restricted my calories early in the day. But even with inputting what I knew about....I was near my calorie limit and that did not include the fresh baked bread or the dessert.
Not completly horrible, as I did not leave the table stuffed. Then she gave me some of the dessert to take home (she had made a huge chocolate tort for just the 2 of us) and I admit I ate more (it was REALLY good). Worse, though, I got home and thought, well...I've already had some wine...I'm gonna have more.
Where in the spectrum of weight loss or control does THAT attitude fit in?
Perhaps it is a good thing that I could not weigh myself this morning...and can't tomorrow...until I buy a new 9V battery for my scale.
Today was a MUCH better day calorie-wise...and I had a great weight workout at lunch and power walked 3 miles then walked the dog another 2 this evening. I have taken good things to have at work to eat, so that helps significantly. I have not even been tempted at work the last 2 days with bagels, sandwiches or the receptionists candy bowl. That is the up side!
Weight: not sure due to lack of battery
Exercise: great upper body workout, 40 minutes, 2-mile bike to work, 3-mile power walk to post office and home, 3.5 total miles of walking the dog today.
Calories: 1450

I am so the same way with "social food" ... it's a meal together, you don't want to have a calorie count constantly running through your head. Glad you enjoyed it.
As for the extra wine and dessert at home, chalk it up to setting yourself up for a more guarded week, like advance insurance. This is a hard habit for you to break and it's going to take time and more trial-and-error. But you're seeing success in deflecting office junk - that's progress!
One day at a time, one week at a time ... just keep up your efforts (like redeeming yourself yesterday) and you will find your success! Good luck today!
