Cheat Meal.

I made it six whole days on my meal plan. I even managed to join my friend for her daughter's birthday celebration and didn't cheat. Bethany and I planned to have our "cheat meal" together on Sunday. Boy, we went all out! How much would it really change things?

Well, let me tell you about the whole cheat meal business, but first, let me tell you what I ate. We went got pasta. Bethany got there before me and called to see if I wanted an appetizer, we settled on fried calamari. I ended up eating most of it, dipped in marinara sauce and some in ranch dressing. I enjoyed it, or at least I thought I did. I followed that with a salad with ranch dressing, that's not so bad, right? Then I had a pasta sampler. Lasagna, tortellini, and manicotti...mmmm, so good! I ate a little bit of the bread, but not much. The we decided ice cream sounded really good, so we went for it. We left and went to the newest ice cream/donut place and each ordered a sundae. We shared with each other because that's what friends do. We sat and ate ice cream and the first few bite were AMAZING!

All of the sudden, neither of us felt well. We were too full and had eaten too much of the wrong kinds of foods. My body was so confused. I was really sleepy. We talked about how we were feeling and decided that we would NOT be doing that again! I learned a valuable lesson about food on Sunday. I may really like the fat filled food, but it makes me feel gross.

Monday morning I weighed and found out what the cost was for Sunday's food. I gained two pounds. I guess that's not horrible, all things considered. My meal plan has been much easier this week! Be blessed, watch the food you put in your mouth, and remember you are worth the effort.
