Saturday

So today I attempted to get back in the saddle after last night’s total cave-in.  I did have a few moments of regret this morning, when I made myself get on the scale and see the damage I knew our huge Outback meal, the cheesy bacon fries, and large glass of wine had caused. 

I was right - the scale showed 180.4.

So yes, I had some regrets.

I decided the quickest way out of this was to just continue on as though nothing had happened.  When we were out shopping and the family wanted to eat at Red Robin again, I found it next to no trouble at all to order the “Whiskey River BBQ Chicken Wrap” again and limit myself to just two fries dipped in a bit of ranch.  I wasn’t able to get as many fruits and vegetables in, but I figure that saves some calories.

So, here were the tallies:

South Beach bar (140); Whiskey River Chicken Wrap (oh no!  I just consulted that website, thedailyplate.com, and I discovered - to my dismay! - that the Whiskey River Chicken Wrap is NOT low-cal at ALL!!  It contains 1,074 calories!  That original entry was wrong!  I cannot believe it.  I might as well have had a cheeseburger for the same amount of calories.  That is SO WRONG!); broccoli (70); milk (90); Lean Cuisine (310); prunes (200) (I had extra prunes because I thought I didn’t get enough food today, when I was still laboring under the 400-calorie Chicken Wrap delusion).  Total:  1,884.

Wow, I am so disgusted that I trusted thedailyplate.com.  A cheeseburger would have been 980 calories, FEWER than that flippin’ Whiskey River BBQ Chicken Wrap, and I would have enjoyed it more!  Unbelievable!

(Sorry for all the exclamation points, but I am really upset about this.)

Oh well.  Tomorrow is another day, and at least now I know not to go back to Red Robin anytime soon!
