I've been limiting my caloric intake and exercising every day for the last week. I'm planning on going out to eat with my kids tomorrow after we see a movie. I've been at or slightly below my allotted calories every day (eating back at least a portion of my exercise calories). I'm thinking maybe one day of not counting so much might be good. The restaurant I want to go to has pretty healthy food, but I can't find any real nutritional info (number of calories and such). I'm leaning toward giving myself a day off. I'll go exercise in the morning (an hour of cardio) and eat light at breakfast and lunch. Then I'll allow myself to not worry about my dinner calories; I'll just choose a baked or grilled fish or chicken dish (this place has great fish!) and make smart choices on my food. I'm finding that I eat smaller meals because of the snacks in between. I'll take my own snacks to the movie (I don't dare go in there without something--the smell of the popcorn will be my undoing!).

I'm thinking that allowing myself to do this once or twice a month will be fine as long as it's not more than that. What do you guys think?
