Eating out - sort of.

Tonight, I went up to Terri-Ann's to help look after the boys for the afternoon/evening. Someone was supposed to bring dinner, but for some reason, none showed up. Terri-Ann suggested we use the roast beef that was left over from Sunday. There were no potatoes and so James suggested stuffing. Peas were on the menu for vegetables. While dinner was yummy, the stuffing was 160 calories for 1/2 a cup. But, rather than worry about it, I ate the half cup of stuffing and half cup of peas and took home the package/can of those foods and added them to my menu for tonight. I am happy to say that I was able to still stay within my calories, etc. for the day. I was hungry during the day, but after dinner I was fine. I wanted to have a snack when I got home and so checked out how may calories, etc. I had left for the day. I had 124 calories and checked out the granola bars and chips ahoy thinsations. The granola bar was 150 calories and the thinsations were 100 calories. I debated what I should do because I really wanted the granola bar. I thought to myself "It's only 26 calories over my limit." Then, I thought that that wasn't the right attitude to have. I needed to stay within my limit - so I did. And the thinsations with a little milk were delicious! :-) Menu for today: breakfast - cheese and egg on toast and orange juice, lunch - chili over potato, snacks - pineapple, yogurt, fruit salad, supper I already mentioned. I am wondering if I was hungry because the potato wasn't that big and didn't stay with me for very long. It seems that bagels/breads stay with me longer. Something to keep in mind for the future.
