...how many calories I just consumed!!! :devil:

Got to eat a free lunch at Cheesecake Factory today. (IF you aren't familiar w/ this restaurant it is sooooo good.. and oh so pricey!) Sister got us the hook up to go before their Grand Opening to "taste test" their food. They were training all of their staff so we got to eat for free!

We were allowed 1 cocktail, 1 appetizer to split, 1 entree each, 1 coffee each, and 1 cheescake slice to split! :sick:

I had a "Platinum Mojito" YuM! (this baby is $10.95!!!) My price... FREE!!! :bigsmile:
We split Thai lettuce wraps, I had Chicken Piccatta (oh my lord the BUTTER!!), and we each had a latte and split Lemon-Raspberry cheesecake!

I am stuffed! :sick:

Luckily, I've known about our "reservations" for a while, so today was officially declared CHEAT DAY!!!! :bigsmile:

sophialittle

studentRN

Haha I KNOW their food is not good for you! That's why I steer clear most of the time... I just moved my cheat day this week to today just so I could enjoy it! It was fantastic... it's a new location about 5 minutes from my house!!! :sad: :sad:

LOL, my food log will be blank today!

I'm about to go to Step class and burn about 800 calories... I REALLY need to... I actually feel a little sick from eating such BAD food! :laugh:

ETA: Sadly, this was a one-time deal... they were just doing it to train their staff before the grand opening on Thursday. :ohwell:

Our "bill" ended up being $73 for the two of us!! Hahaha sooooo glad it was all on the house! :bigsmile:

Funny thing is... I'll probably actually see some loss on the scale this week now...

My body is strange.. I eat a day full of complete CRAP... and I lose like 2 lbs... envy those w/ a normal metabolism! :grumble:

I live in Chicago and the Cheesecake Factory is a huge deal here!! I love the food there but I have to stay away from it because I know its evil:devil: ! Hell I even gain 5 pounds just by walking by the Cheesecake Factory! LOL:laugh:

But, it seems you had a blast and ate plenty! So HAPPY CHEAT DAY it was:drinker:

Yummmm! Cheesecake Factory is soooo good and there is a very good reason they don't even publish their nutritional information.
Glad you enjoyed your cheat day!

studentRN

Well, I just got back from Step, burned 550 cals... doubt that's ANYwhere near enough to combat what I've done today! LOL Oh well.

Cheers to Cheat Days! :drinker:
