Today started with the best of intentions.
I got up. I got prettied up. I packed myself a nice healthy grilled chicken, bbq sauce, and light wheat bread sandwich to eat while driving to the shower, so as to not be starving when I got there.
Then a 1.5 hour drive magically morphed into a 3 hour drive, due to some insane traffic. So I arrived at the party frazzled, hungry, and late.
I didn't do too badly - for appetizers, I ate 2 taquitos, 5 tortilla chips with guac, and a gigantor plate of fruit because I was still starving, along with my one drink, a mimosa. Then for dinner, 1 piece (2 in by 2 in) of a Mexican casserole type thingy, about 2 inch long piece of chimichanga, a cup of salad (it was a veggie, sure, but was heavily dressed and had pasta and beans in it...), 5 more chips with guac, and a mini corn muffin.
Then (after another 2 hour drive back...still traffic, though less) I met friends and had a martini and a glass of wine, but then I realized I was veering off track and when we got dinner (Thai), I got a stirfry of steamed tofu and veggies. Good, healthy, and totally OP.
I don't think it was catastrophic, but I do think I could have made better choices and stayed away from the taquitos and chips.

It's so hard to curtail activity if you're used to being able to do many things. But it will get better, as long as you follow directions! This is the good news. 
Maintenance Break!
