Things were going so well!! And then DATE NIGHT arrived.

I got up and did my Boost Metabolism dvd. I ate a normal breakfast and lunch. Did some house work, and got ready for a movie with my BF. Where I got sabotaged by popcorn, and Olive Garden.

I thought I did okay on the popcorn. I let him eat most of it and I finish off the bottom 1/4 where there was NO butter.

Then, I ordered a glass of red wine at dinner instead of a overly caloric fancy drink. I love the Olive Garden. I know it's American-Italian food, but it's soooo good and not hugely expensive. I checked their website before my BF picked me up and decided what I would have. Soup, 1 bread stick, 1 serving of salad no dressing.

Mistake number 1: I forgot to ask the waiter for dressing on the side of our salad or to get a separate one for me.
Mistake number 2: I didn't stop at one plate of salad or when I was starting to feel full.
Mistake number 3: I didn't skim the pasta out of my minestrone soup.
Mistake number 4: ordering an ameretto sour for after dinner
Positives #1: I didn't leave the table stuffed
Positives #2: I DID limit myself to one bowl of soup
Positives #3: I DID limit myself to one bread stick

I know that in the long run, this was not a bad night of eating out. It could have been WAY worse. And I hoping that my weight gain is water retention from the popcorn. I also know that both my BF and I are trying to cut down on our spending so I know that nights like this are not going to happen overly often.

But I'm also disappointed because I didn't get up early this morning to exercise. The BF stayed the night and I was in sleep&cuddle mode so I recent my alarm clock an hour later. I was disappointed with that even before I stepped on the scale this morning. Obviously, I need to stop putting the BF before myself.

I still have until Tuesday to get to my 120 goal, so I am just going to have to be good from now on.
