    LOL...well I'm an American living in England and Mother's Day was in March here, so nothing special planned. I usually eat rather well on Sundays here anyways though. We typically have a big roast dinner and today is no different. Lamb, roasted potatoes, lots of veggies, yorkshire puddings, and gravy...oh and a glass of red wine :) Happy Mother's Day everyone...enjoy yourselves...but not too much :wink:

    We did Mother's Day today with a late morning movie - Gatsby - with popcorn, Red Vines, J-Mints and M-Duds (shared between three of us), brought my own water, then lunch at In-n-Out for a double-double w/fries and 7UP. I did, however, refrain from getting the popcorn refilled to take home for later, and I sent the leftover candy home with the kids. In the past, those would have been mine.

    I put it in my diary notes but didn't bother looking up the info for specific logging. I know I was over, I don't need to know how much. It was yummy and worth it and not to be a regular thing.

    The in-laws get the kids tomorrow, so it's just another Sunday at home, and I plan to go very light - fruit, yogurt, dry Cheerios - kinda clean out and then start fresh again on Monday.

    Happy Mother's Day, everyone :flowerforyou:

    I'm going to PF Chang's, what I am ordering will easily fit within my daily calorie goals. I will probably have some ice cream when I get home. I can fit that in too if I really want to.

    I looked up the place we're going to and I'm planning on 650 calories. I might have dessert though, but then it will probably be berries and whipped cream, so I'm guessing another 200 calories... Planning to have a walk and a workout today though.

    I'm watching my calories, but I'm going to eat things I usually don't, e.g. homemade cinnamon rolls, bacon, and mimosas. I made the rolls this morning, and it nearly killed me not to eat one. I'm waiting until brunch, though. I moved some calories around and planned ahead for what I want to eat, so it should be all good. Now all I need is willpower lol.

    No treating today's food like all the other days. Eat to make myself healthy. That is my Mother's Day gift to me. I am also walking to work. Which is about 2.5 miles.

    Happy Mother's Day All

    Oh man no. Our lunch is late and I've been so hungry this morning because I was up too early, I've already eaten almost 600 calories of food! Forget it. I'll just eat healthier things (although I'm starting to lean towards having dessert too, but not the super bad stuff, because I can probably afford it anyway and that restaurant is really, really good...).
