You’ll recall that I ordered a plain jane salad from Café Rio for today’s lunch meeting.  They totally screwed up my order and I got a regular salad with everything on it.  I did get the vigegarette, that’s something.  Besides being more healthy (I assume) than the creamy tomatillo dressing, it was a lot more flavorful and I only ended up using half the container.  I didn’t eat the tortilla with cheese.  I wanted to, but didn’t.  I picked off all of the tortilla strips off the top.  I was actually full long before I finished, but I kept eating.  I thought about stopping, but there was no way.  It was too yummy!  I’m surprised that I’m not as mad at myself as I normally would be.  I think my body has been craving calories anyway.  I didn’t feel too good yesterday afternoon and evening.  Plus, I not only did I walk for my hour this morning at 3.2, but I added 3 pound hand weights for 45 minutes.  I was sweating even more than normal – and that is a LOT!  I’ll drink my Slim-Fast for dinner tonight and it’ll all be okay.  I’m looking at this set-back as good in the fact that maybe it will tell my body I’m not starving.  Plus I still have 3 ½ weeks until my next weigh-in.  I’ve been doing so great and it isn’t like I ate the tortilla and tortilla strips and all the melted cheese, and creamy dressing.  And I drank water with my lunch instead of the free soda.  I’m feeling just great.
