Last night my husband and I had a long awaited date night with no kiddies... we were going to Applebee's since we had gift cards. We checked online and picked out somewhat healthy meals... I was getting the shrimp and rice (370 cals) and as a treat we would split chips and salsa after (500 cals per person). Also I planned on having three drinks. In preparation I only ate about 300 cals all day, which is pretty easy for me since I tend to get hungriest at night.
So we got there and all it took for our plan to go to crap was the waiter saying, "If you order two margaritas, you get an appetizer for free." For some reason we couldn't pass up the stupid deal, so we got the drinks (which are gross, mostly salty mix) and the NACHOS for the app.... we scarfed them down and then got regular meals, figuring there was no point in getting healthy meals after that. I got the sliders and fries, could only fit one slider and a few fries before I felt sick. I was literally fantasizing about the broccoli and shrimp and how I would never have felt so gross after if that had been my meal. My husband could only eat a few bites of his pasta too. I had my two more drinks (vodka and diet this time) and we left feeling bloated and yucky.
Usually after an indulgence I feel bad, but at the time it's delicious and fun... this time I felt like crap the whole way through. I woke up today feeling sick and wanting to go back to eating healtier immediately. I'm throwing away our leftovers even though it's hard for me to waste.
Anyway, thought I'd share. I feel disappointed in myself, but at the same time excited that I didn't enjoy the food and that it didn't lead to days of binges.
I'm having shrimp kabobs tonight!
Feeling gross today after last night....
Congrats on getting right back on plan! My hubby and I ate out last night too - I felt guilty through the meal, and not too good about it this morning still. But... It is a new day - back on plan and hoping not to go overboard again next time we are out
