I went to Ribfest today. I ate 3 beef ribs, 6 pork ribs, coleslaw and cornbread. That put me a full day's calories over my budget. I had also planned to go to the beer garden and have 2 - 3 beers but I decided to stay home instead. If I would have had those beers that would have added approximately an extra 450 calories. I have to admit that because I knew I was blowing my calories for the day I also had 3 pudding cups because at that point it really didn't matter how many extra calories I ate.
I am not sorry that I got the ribs. It is a once a year treat that I am not going to pass up but this really shows that you got to pick and choose which events are important enough to blow your diet for. This also shows why it is so important to track the food that you consume.
I really don't like seeing all that red on the chart today!
