Thought it was a disaster

But it wasn't! First off, I didn't weigh today since I just did yesterday...will weigh tomorrow here at home though with Chloe. I have had no water at all, so tonight that's all I'm drinking. Here is the near disaster that turned into not so bad. Our good friend, and family member down the line, and her sister have a opened a bakery and cafe near our home. We decided to try it out for dinner. It is a nice and cozy place that is only open until 6pm and has only been open a couple weeks. Our friend Mary is a great baker, as over the years I have sampled many delicious goodies from her. We walked in and seen two big display cases of donuts, cinnamon rolls, cakes, etc. Just for a second, let me give a background of what me and Chloe had today to eat before this place. Chloe had only 200 calories since she had to miss lunch at school. I only had about 1000 calories, including a small fry from Wendy's while I waited for the kids. Before scolding me for the fries, remember the old me would have gotten a combo meal biggie sized and a frosty. I got a diet soda and value size fry for 200 calories. Anyway, back to the Sweet Shop Cafe (that's the name of it). It is mainly a breakfast place and bakery, so menu items are limited to daily specials. Today the choice was fried fish with 2 sides and taco salad. I chose the taco salad. I knew I was going to use a bunch of calories, but I had 1400 to spend. The taco salad was a handful of lettuce, taco seasoned ground beef (not greasy at all), shredded cheese (not too much), salsa and about 20 tortilla chips. The salad part only took up about 1/4 to 1/3 of the styrofoam to go container and the chips took up the rest. So it wasn't a big salad...it wasn't even a medium salad. It was a good tasting taco salad (or nachos, as I ate them), just not as big in size as say a Wendy's taco salad. I had two bites of Chloe's fried fish (yes, she is regretting that choice...but enjoyed it). It was awesomely good and awesomely fried. Then the near disaster hit. I ordered us some sweet desserts to go...A BIG NO NO, but I wanted to support my friends. I ended up eating a cinnamon roll with cream cheese icing and half of a cream filled powder donut...and a bite of peanut butter roll candy. This was an hour ago and I am feeling warm and my head feels funny from all the sugar. It's funny, the old me would not turn back to healthy living and would start back down the bad road. I'm glad I'm a new Mike now. I don't want any of that stuff for a loooong time. It does show me though that I can control myself and eat a normal portion (okay, I had a normal person and childs portion together, but better than 3 or 4 things) and not binge. So far you got to be thinking "this is a disaster!", but it wasn't. After carefully and thoroughly calculating and figuring my calories, I ended up consuming less than 2400 calories! My self imposed limit it 2400, my recommended calories based on my bmr are about 2500. This will slow my weight loss by a day or so since I do not have a big calorie deficit as I had been having by only eating 1600-2000 calories. I can live with it since I will be exercising in this great weather for the weekend we are expecting! More to write tomorrow friends, but I'm done for the night.
