I was super excited on Tuesday, I had hit Onederland, and was energetic and ready to keep moving towards my goal with good choices! Then last night I just destroyed it.
This weekend is a tough one for me, it's my anniversary and my fiance's birthday, so it usually entails a dinner out with friends for his birthday, and a dinner with his mom, who makes food for 15 when there may be 6 people there.
Last night we went to a Brazilian Rodizio restaurant (where you get access to a salad bar and they bring grilled meats out on sticks and shave it off right at your plate), and while the pieces of meat I took were smaller, I did eat a lot, and probably ate 5 bananas-worth of fried bananas (they usually cut them in half...I ate a lot of them) I did have some broccoli to off-set all the protein, but I got home feeling sluggish and heavy. I got on the scale today....202.9
I know a lot of it is probably water weight, the meats at those places are salted liberally and a high sodium day can have me retaining water for about a week.
But now I have to go do dinner at his moms! I can probably keep an eye on what I eat, she usually has a salad available, and sometimes grilled chicken, but she also makes tons of rice, potatoes, and starchy foods and she usually likes to pile it on my plate. I can tell her small portions, but for me to not eat something it would hurt her feelings.
I already know I'll be eating whatever she offers, just in smaller portions, but I wish I could turn back time and not eat all those bananas, and maybe offer to bring something to his moms that does fit in my diet plan. I'm not looking forward to the scale tomorrow, it won't be my friend
