Leaving Switzerland, known for its Swiss timekeeping...I think!

Tonight has the potential to be a disaster or a victory for me. I'm taking my future sister-in-law out for her birthday dinner, and she said she wants sushi *gulp*. I tend to go all-out when I get sushi, with the justification that I don't get to eat it that often so I need to try all different types of rolls, and then when it ends up being too much for me to eat I make myself finish it all anyway because "it's so expensive" and let's be real, who feels comfortable taking home leftover raw fish and eating it the next day?

I've prelogged a cup of miso soup, two pieces of shrimp nigiri, an Alaska roll (salmon, avocado, cucumber), and a shrimp tempura roll (my favorite), and of course the 4 tbsp. or so of soy sauce. If I can stick to this, I'll still be under my calorie goal for the day.

I just wanted to put it out there on the interwebs in hopes of keeping myself accountable on a special occasion FOR ONCE (and it's not even my special occasion so there's that). That's one of the insights I've gained during this challenge - I've been treating my calorie goal as something that would be nice to hit, but giving myself way too many off days because of "special" circumstances. It's no bueno, and no wonder weight loss hasn't been happening for me!

And, @Breepa123 , what happened?

I didn't get to try it out haha! She ended up wanting to go to the Indian restaurant around the corner from my house instead.

But I only ate half my dinner, one poppadum, and one quarter of the naan and I stayed under my calories, so that's a win. Instead of saying 'screw it, this tastes so good and I can make up for it tomorrow' I decided to meet my calorie goal instead, which is a huge issue with me when eating out. Now I just need an opportunity to try it with sushi!
