ok, this might not seem huge, but to me it is! :bigsmile:

last night i had planned on meeting friends at the VFW (yea, i know it sounds crazy, but he have so much fun!) for bingo. they serve greasy yummy spagetti for like $3 with buttery bread. i felt it would be best to eat a lean pocket before i went to avoid eating the spagetti so i did. i had also allotted 2 bud lights into my calories in case someone from our group won bingo.

when we got to the VFW, they told us they cancelled bingo due to the ice storm the night before. major bummer. my pals wanted to go eat and picked a place called 'fat daddy's' which you can imagine did not have ANYTHING i could eat - plus i fueled up with the lean pocket so i decided to join them. as my 4 friends sat and ate cheeseburgers the size of a salad plate and fries, i sat and drank my 2 beers! i couldnt believe i didnt eat anything! :drinker:

after dinner, i decided to go ahead and have 2 more beers as a reward :drinker: so, i went over my cals by 160, but hey it could have been a LOT worse! and on a 1400 a day calorie plan, i dont think 1560 is going to do a whole lot of harm.

yea me! :smooched:

    Way to go! Isn't it so hard to be good, though? I went to a birthday party, and instead of eating the cake, I ate a Yoplait yogurt...Boston Creme Pie flavor, very yummy!

    BTW, I had a few calories left last night, so I rewarded myself with a beer and some popcorn! :happy:
