Last night I went out to dinner with friends to a place where you can make your own "instant" pizza. It's a big trend where I live and there are lots of places like this. Their standard size is a 10" thin crust dough that you can top with whatever you want. I can eat the whole thing and wash it down with a beer, but I'm trying to be realistic with calories :D I had also been to two parties earlier in the day and indulged in 2 cookies and a cupcake, things I don't usually eat (majorly cutting out sugar right now, except, I guess, that day). I ordered the child's pizza: 6" which I was able to top with two items. I chose mushrooms and black olives. I love pepperoni, but it's fatty and caloric, so I passed. However, I succumbed on the "salad" which was basically a deli container filled with greens. I chose spinach. I could choose one topping so I chose bacon. I added a light raspberry vinaigrette. Total calories for everything was 986 which is really high for me for one meal. I'd skipped breakfast, though, so I had a few extra calories to spend. I went over my RDI for the day by 100 calories, which I can live with. My take-away from the day is that I went to three parties, enjoyed the food, and only went over by 100 calories. I did not let "well, it's the weekend" or "well, it's a party" influence me (much) because I've worked too dang hard to get where I am. Re-training my brain is the hardest thing I've ever done, but it's WORKING. I can look back over my food for the day and see that if I'd chosen a different topping for my greens my RDI would have been on target, and that's a choice I may make another time. Or maybe I'll enjoy that bacon and leave off the cupcake. It's all about choices and my eyes are finally opening up and figuring it out.
