Day 3 of my calorie counting was going along great & right on track until we took a colleague out for her going-away party. I started off just having a white wine spritzer but then things spiraled out of control and I ended up having a few light beers and I believe a shot at some point. *Sigh* It was such a fun, festive mood, I couldn't say no. I understand that social scenes are my trigger so I should have known better. Even worse, when I got home I had a mini binge of Triscuits and a string cheese.
So in all the bad of last night I am at least able to find a little bit of good -- The good news is that I stuck to light drinks (minus the shot), didn't stop by Taco Bell for a 2am burrito which was a past habit, and didn't attack the Ben & Jerry's pint when I got home.
Still, I am feeling really upset about this slip, it just seems too soon to mess up! I am trying hard to NOT overcompensate today by working out for a lengthly period of time or cutting my 1500 a day allowance to 1200. I decided to get right back where I left off -- a new day at 1500 calories and if I go for a walk tonight great but if not it's not the end of the world...
Am I doing the right thing?
Thanks!
