out to eat at a japanese steakhouse

Posted by: billie In: blogging helps

I got up today so excited to be down 2 more pounds. You’d think I would have done my workout right off the bat … Nope, I got online and started searching for nutrition info on food at japanese steakhouses.

Hannah is really into japanese culture and I told her we could go to the fujiyama. She’s off school this week and i have to go to school every other day so we needed a day out together. I was worried I would go way overboard at the restaurant so i searched and searched to find calorie info. Let me tell you, that is not an easy task. Mostly i learned that if i stay away from the battered deep fried stuff and the fried rice, i should do okay, and that most of the fare is considered healthy. I had to guesstimate for the most part on calories.

I think i did okay, according to my calculations i got out of there having eaten around 700 calories. And i felt soo full, i am getting used to eating small meals. Does this count sound right? : a bit of green onion soup (5), a small ginger dressing salad (150), 2 pc philly sushi roll (100), an order of hibachi shrimp (220), an order of hibachi grilled veggies (90), a half cup of noodles (100) and 3 bites of fried ice cream (50).

So, i had some running around and shopping to do today as well and i didn’t take the time to exercise. Once i got home, i tried again to no avail to find some calorie counts on that food and then i watched Lost, the best show on tv.

i didn’t eat much else today so i’m still coming in at a good number on calories, but i am disappointed in myself for not squeezing in a workout. I’m afraid this may lead to more skipped workouts. I probably should have gotten up at 8 instead of 9:30, then i would have been able to do it. Lesson learned.

You’ve done really well by having it on your mind, doing research and making calculated choices. I know how scary it is to feel like one turns into two. Keep up the good work!
