Well, it is official. Apparently, the only way I can stay healthy and make smart food choices is to NEVER eat out, or hang out with my friends, or do ANYTHING except make my own food at home. It's like...you can't bring an alcoholic to a bar and expect them to do well. That's how I feel right now. Like an addict. Got my "fix" last night, instantly regretted it, and now I feel like shit.

I went to my friend Lindsey's last night. She is one of my longest and greatest friends and we decided to dinner because we don't get to see each other very often. (Normally, I try to eat BEFORE i see my friends unless they, too, are trying to eat healthier.)Well- I get to Lindsey's apartment and she is VERY excited because she finally found a chinese place that she likes. Let me tell you, my heart sank. I tried to suggest something healthier but 1. The only places around were Red Robin and Olive Garden...neither of which are any better. and 2. We were in our pajamas so a restaurant wasn't really an option anyway. So..I go with the intention of getting "Moo Goo Gai Pan." Sounds so stupid but it is the "healthiest" thing on most chinese menus. Weeellllll it was my lucky day because this place didn't HAVE it. So at that point I was frustrated and just got the General Tso's. The worst thing EVER...but the only other chinese I like. I only ate half of my "platter" and stopped way before I was stuffed, but I immediately felt sick to my stomach. I was sick in the night, and I feel like I could run to the bathroom at any second. I feel like...disgusting and huge and my weigh in is TOMORROW. I know I didn't make the best food choices ALL week...but I did well. I resisted temptation when I thought I couldn't and then...this. I drank a crap-ton of water last night when I got home hoping maybe it would flush everything out...but my body just retained it all and I'm so swollen my rings don't even fit.

Can I really not function in society without overeating and making stupid decisions? I. Am. Frustrated.

Things I am Grateful For Today:

1. New episode of The Biggest Loser tonight.
2. Already having a dress (that i LOVE) for the aforementioned friend's wedding because it was on sale for $20 last month.
3. Sleep...which I am currently lacking.

OKAY there needs to be a disclaimer on this weigh in.

my post Christmas weight was 176. When i started getting back in the swing of things last week it was 176. i dont know why i recorded 170...but i did. i cant change the last weigh in weight so i'm recording a weigh in NOW even though my weigh in is WEDNESDAY.

just clarifying. I'm a little upset that I didn't realize my weight was inaccurate on the weigh in scale..because now it looks like I gained 6.7 pounds in a week which is sooo not true. Sigh.

Onto the official entry of the day:

This weekend was not the best weekend (foodwise) in the world. My plan was to have a "low day" on Saturday to boost up my metabolism like everyone has been saying. So in the morning I had egg beaters and coffee. I drank water like it was going out of style. Water with protein in it, water with just flavoring, plain water, water with extra fiber..I probably drank my weight in water. I felt so good. For lunch, around 3pm, I had a protein bar and a small glass of skim milk. It surprisingly filled me up and I was good to go. Drank some more water, did housework. Didn't really eat dinner and decided at 11pm to go to the bar with my roommate from college. Had a blasssstttt but didn't make the best food choices. Cheese omelet, perogies? *Shudders* The good part, though, is that we made the food. We didn't get SPUDS(that suuuuper deliicious french fry place) and we didn't go out to brunch the next day. A small victory, I know, but a victory nonetheless. Right? :)

Yesterday I weighed myself "unofficially" and the scale was down! Even after all that drinking (aaand replenishing of water from being dehydrated!) it was still down. Not significantly, but I was happy. It gave me the boost I needed to not completely kill my sunday food intake and I did pretty well last night, even though we were snacking during the grammys!

I am ready to take on this week and make smart food decisions! The challenge: making smart decisions with the roommmate in kutztown on Wednesday! Oh how I love and miss my college town...

Three Things I am Grateful for Today:

1. Hearing a song on the radio that EXACTLY fits your mood at the moment.
2. Cute guys at bars and friends that make you go out at 11pm so you're not sitting at home feeling sorry for yourself :)
3. Email. (I know I sort of said this last time...but I don't know what I would do without it!)

Dinner wasn't as successful as I would have hoped. I had four pieces of CiCi's pizza. But, they were so mini and only 3 points each so, although it wasn't the ideal meal, it was only 2 pieces of regular sized pizza (12 points) and it was MUCH better than the 2 for $20 deal at Applebees...I also loaded up on salad, although I must say, salad was not CiCi's strong point..I was disappointed. I also had small piece of "dessert pizza" which I instantly regretted. But, after entering it in my food diary, realized it was only 5 points. Better than the 1000 calorie lava cake at any other restaurant!

So, overall, even though I ate more than I originally aimed for, I didn't do horribly. MUCH better than I would have done even last week. I drank over a gallon of water yesterday and surprisingly I'm not that swollen from eating out last night. (I always retain water with excess sodium.) I actually felt GOOD this morning getting dressed, and I haven't felt that way since wayyyy before Christmas.

Hopefully this is enough to get me through my weekend! This is my first weekend back "on" the diet hardcore aaand I really want to do well. The alcohol always gets to me!

Edit: I noticed a few people are listing three things they are thankful for each day and I very much like that idea, so I'm stealing it. :)

Three Things I am Grateful for today:

1. Good friends who don't judge.
2. Email access for soldiers overseas
3. Fatsecret :)

Going out to dinner tonight with a friend from college. I'm thinking about suggesting CiCi's because of the salad bar?

The options are: Applebees, Red Robin, Carrabas, TGIFridays, or CiCi's.

I know there are certain things to get at each place and I've looked up some calorie counts and whatnot.....but anyone have any favorites? Just wondering :)
