And the sodium bounce was hideous. But I did OK at the restaurant, and had one of my extremely rare occasions where I ate fish, because, really, that was my best option, in terms of not having something all glunked up with sauce.
Back on plan today:
B: Banana/strawberry smoothie
L: 3 Ryvita & about 2 oz. leftover hummous
S: 50 cal. apple/grape pack
D: veggie curry + 1/4 cup (uncooked weight) brown basmati rice
S: cantaloupe
Yesterday was great all the way up to 10pm when DH had to run an errand and I found myself saying 'yes, bring me cheese tots and a blast from Sonic'. I don't understand myself. I need a twelve step program. Or a shock collar. At least I exercised.
Back on plan today.
