Things have been going so well, and then I had to eat at Pizza Hut for lunch today.  I say “had to” because we ate lunch with two of DH’s work friends, and that’s where they chose.  There are seriously no good options there.  I had half a P’zone and some spinach and artchoke dip, and the calories were seriously high.  I ate smaller portions than I normally would have, so I guess I did decently there.

However, once that was over and I had “blown” my diet already, I decided I might as well have a couple of cookies while I was at it, so I baked up a couple from the frozen cookie dough (not a good thing to have on hand) and ended up eating about eight, I think.  Ugh.  Anyway, the grand total could be worse, and I didn’t eat breakfast, nor do I plan to eat dinner (not hungry, imagine that), so I still have a small calorie deficit today.

Today was my WI day, and I had planned to go before Pizza Hut, but it just didn’t work out timing wise, so I had to go after– 2 lbs. up, of course.  Still, I think most of that is food and water weight.  I drank two 32 oz. glasses of water with lunch, and I still had most of that in me, lol, when I weighed in.  I think it’s still there, too, which means I’m holding water.  Hopefully it will be gone by Friday.  It’s also that time of month, too, so who knows how that’s affecting me.  I always hold water around that time.

Despite these setbacks, however, I did manage to burn some serious calories working out.  I ellipticaled pretty hard for 45 minutes, burning 700 calories in the process– not too shabby.  Hopefully that will offset some of the eating today.
