Recovery from a Slipup
So I've been doing very well for the past month (almost perfect except for a meal where I was over at someone's house with very few options, and even then I did the best I could), and then today comes, and everyone wants to go to a mexican place for lunch...one of my big problem places.
Anyhow, while I should have gotten a taco salad or something, I got the three soft tacos (meat and cheese) and ate some chips and salsa. I did tear the tops off the tortillas, though, so I really had more like 1.5 tortillas.
Anyhow, my question is this: I wasn't very hungry tonight, so I just had a HNS and two hard boiled egg whites. I'm full now, and that was really all I wanted. Was that a good idea, or should I have just stuck to the menu and had the protein/veg/starch? I'm not really sure how much of a "chemical balance" it is-- they say it is, but we are also really cutting calories (around 900-1000 per day), so I thought not having my carbs tonight might help make up for the extra tortilla and chips. I have my WI tomorrow, and I really don't want to gain...I know that what's done is done, and what the scale says really has no impact on what is actually on my body now, but I've been doing so well that I don't want the mental setback.
I'm also going to drink tons of water tomorrow to help with the water retention from the extra sodium that I assume was in my food. I did at least take the carb blockers, though, so hopefully that did something.
