I'm not sure exactly sure how many calories I will be consuming for dinner as we are going out to eat, but I have a range of 350 - 650 to keep me within my daily goal. And, fortunately, I do not find the bread basket at the Cheesecake Factory to be very tempting. So if I stick with a nice salad, I should be good to go!
Today is what my brother's cross-country coach calls 'active rest'. I did not run, bike, swim or weight train today, but between the commute, the lunch-time walk, the dog walking and the trip to the post office, I will have walked 11 miles today.
I am glad to be back working on this and keeping myself in check! I have really started to focus on the "trade-offs" I talked about yesterday. I could have bread tonight, and forego the wine. I could have an entree and no wine. I could have a glass of wine and a salad and still do well on my calories. No self-deprivation, no "off limit" foods. Just choices....choosing to live on less....and that's the healthier choice.

That sounds like a very reasonable plan! Hope you enjoyed your dinner. I had a similar dilemma today: boss had a surprise "let's go to lunch" day today, and we went to Hard Times. Gah! But I avoided the chili dogs I so adore, actually found calorie info for the chili (only 300 for the Terlingua, not bad!), only had tomatoes and onions to top it, water to drink, and enjoyed every last crumb of my piece of cornbread. I'm pretty sure my lunch was still under 500 calories.
