Phase 4 – Eating Out

Weight:  177.5

Yesterday I weighed 175 and was glad to be back in “neutral territory”, so to speak.  I went to get my haircut and ran errands, so, of course, while I was out I got hungry.  I decided to go to Baja Fresh, as they use fresh ingredients and, as restaurants go, I figure they are a pretty good place to eat.  I usually order the Mango Chicken salad and have to resist eating the shell.  Instead, I had one of their new Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad Burritos and a Coke Zero.  After all, I’m supposed to be able to eat stuff like this, once in awhile, right?  Well, I gained 2.5 pounds.

This morning I looked up the nutritional information…Oh, my!!…940 calories and 75 grams of carbs!!!

And today, my husband wants to go to the Fair because he wants to…eat lunch at the Fair…that’s what being able to handle extra calories does for a person.   Um, honey, I need to eat at home first….

This doesn’t exactly bode well for my upcoming trips.
