I'm happy to report that the shower was fun, the mom-to-be looked amazing and had a wonderful time, and I enjoyed myself without going overboard. It was catered by a local restaurant and I filled half my plate with fruit & veggies. I also ate a turkey sandwich (it was on a sandwich tray and maybe 1/6 of the size of what is normally served in the restaurant), a few of the restaurant's homemade chips, a cube of cheese, and a slice of tomato and mozzarella. I also had a piece of the red velvet cake because, let's face it, I can't say no to cream cheese frosting.
So, I'm sure I went over my calories for the day but I did not stuff myself and didn't leave feeling disappointed in how much I ate. I will probably have a slight gain when I weigh myself tomorrow, but I don't feel like I have done major damage to my weight loss journey.
