K8te1990's Journal, 08 March 2018

So yesterday I took the day off of work to take my son to go see Paw Patrol Live on stage. I knew it was going to be a fun day but also a challenge as I was taking both my mom and my grandmother with us. Day started off with a temper tantrum, spilled coffee, and a winter weather advisory- should have read the signs. Went to get gas and already the headache from the repetitive Frozen sound track and the 3 year old "singing" in the back seat was forming so I swung into McDonalds for coffee.
Positive step of the day- black coffee instead of cream and sugar added.
Get through about 300 screaming toddlers and their parents and puppet dogs hunting for pirate treasure with only a few bites of my son's popcorn. Still a win judging by the smile on the little guys face through the whole show- even tho the headache had increased slightly. Then as we are walking about to the car my grandmother says she wants Olive Garden and everyone else got excited. For me anxiety kicked in. I hadn't planned ahead... previewed the menu... didn't know what healthy options were available. Got there and decided to relax and enjoy lunch- ordered spaghetti and meatballs and a box. I managed to pack half of it away before I even took a bite. So while I went over my target calorie intake yesterday and the disappointment I felt with 2 extra pounds on the scale this morning- I had to take a step back and realize that hey wait.. that's probably salt/water retention and even tho there were two extra pounds it was fun and worth it and will buckle down and they'll go back away. Here is to not crying over spilled milk!

Don't sweat it. I agree its water/salt weight. I want to give you KUDOS for not going off the deep end about it - maintaining a balanced view about things. Good job!

I’d say that’s probably a win all around! LOL 😆 If you wanted to absolutely avoid the 2 pounds go with a salad with a small bit of meat and pass on all pasta out. But packing up the plate before you start? 👍Solid strategy! Get it out of your face so you are not even tempted! 🙋🏻Excellent work!
