SoCalPam's Journal, 14 June 2018

I stopped in for my Red Cross blood donation tonight and eyed the snack table with longing. Then my favorite phlebotomist said, "I made a chocolate chip cake; would you like a slice?" Well, YES.

I skipped the snack table and headed home (my cake carefully placed in the car so it wouldn't fall over) and discovered a beautiful dinner prepared by hubby: roasted chicken thighs, steamed broccoli with shredded parmesan cheese, and fresh cucumbers and cherry tomatoes for a "salad".

I ate my fill, then we split the cake 2/3 to 1/3 (me). Then... I reluctantly approached my computer to log my calories. Holy cow, it came to just 268 calories for dinner! And that's including the cake!

Is this thing accurate? I measure my food, so I'm pretty sure my entries are on target. At any rate, calories for the day came to just over 1200, so even if the FS calorie counter is off, I have room for error.

Take a look at what I ate today -- I have been eating all day long (at least I feel that way) but my choices are getting better and better. I feel really good!

You did grea! There is nothing wrong with occasionally having a treat. You wisely used portion control, you enjoyed it and now you just continue with your WOE. No cheat day or meal necessary, no guilt required. Good job.

:) Thank you! I checked online for some calorie comparisons for the foods I ate and they all match, so I think FS is right. It just surprised me at how low the calorie count came in.

Nicely done. Dinner sounded very good. Always nice to come home to a wonderful meal ready. Portion control helps keep those calories down.
