Totally Blew it Today

I did really well all day and then I went to a barbecue tonight.  I thought I didn't have to watch my diet as close because my calories were so low for breakfast and lunch.  I made some healthy choices like not to have buns with my burger and loading up on kale salad/ vegetables but then I made some unhealthy choices like having potato salad and macaroni salad plus a butter tart for dessert.

There was a complete disconnect between what I was eating and my goals.  Never even considered the fact that I was eating carbs.  Didn't think anything about having 2 burgers - I mean hey it's OK because I am not having the buns right?  I loaded my plate up with vegetables so that means I can have a butter tart.


Note to self:  enter food into the food log before going to any events that way I will know exactly what to eat.

Moving on.  Today was weight and measurement day and I lost another 2 1/2 pounds this week.  Total weight loss since August 15, 2016 = 7.5 lbs
