my first cheat day in 8 months
My birthday is this coming saturday, and today was the day my husband took me out to lunch to celebrate. He works on Saturdays. Since I started losing weight, I have not on any single day eaten more than 1600 calories, and my usual goal is 1100-1300, so I have been very strict with myself, but it is rare that I have wanted to binge, and I on the few occasions I had the urge, I resisted it. But this lunch is something I had penciled in my calendar, and I just flat wanted to do it. There is a tex mex bar type place a few miles from my house, and they make a plate of chicken nachos that is to die for. I am sure I have been relatively vocal in the past about my love for nachos. So, I ordered the nachos, and dug in! It was fantastic! This is supposed to be an appetizer of course, but it is a huge heap of nachos, and I attempted to put all the ingredients into my handy dandy recipe calculator, and came up with approx 2200 calories for the whole thing. I was not able to finish the whole thing, but I did manage to clear a good 3/4 of it. When we left, I was pretty full, but not the kinda full that made me want to do nothing but sleep all day. Within an hour, the bloaty feeling had gone away, and I felt my normal self. Cant say how the insides may feel come this time tomorrow though. LOL
Anyway..It was great..I enjoyed it..and now, back to plan.
