Eating Out and Baked Chips

I'm not sure how this week's weigh in on Saturday is going to go. On Saturday night Brandon and I went to Rodizio's Grill with his family for his brother, Trevor's birthday. It was so much fun, but at a place like that, there's no holding back! They have an all you can eat salad bar and they come around to your table with all kind of meat on skewers. You've got to eat all you can since you paid $25 to eat! I didn't go too overboard, but then we went back to the apartment and somehow I found a way to fit yummy cake and ice cream in my already full tummy.

Brandon and I had not eaten out for a month before this. We decided we were eating out too much, gaining weight and spending a lot of money, so we told one person each that we would give them $100 if we broke our promise not to eat out (this included gas stations). It went well, and we're feeling better about ourselves, our bodies are appreciating it too! We went to Rodizio's and then on Tuesday had a huge yummy waffle at SLCC after the gym and now we're back to not eating out. I'm only doing it til June 6th because that's when I leave for Texas! And there's no way to avoid eating out when you're driving for 2 days.

I don't think eating out is bad, I think you shouldn't deprive yourself of anything, but you should eat out in moderation (unless you're one of those super self-control people who can ask for everything "on the side" and only eat half of the entree, but that's not me.) Ooh self-control, something you must have when trying to lose weight- something I struggle with every day!

Anywho, I have tried to keep up on my workouts and eating really healthy to make up for the weekend, but it will be close. I am hoping I at least don't gain this week.

Random tidbit: I apparently cannot buy Baked Chips. Yeah, they are better for you than regular chips, but I can eat them and eat them and keep eating them, way more than a serving, which still adds up in calories and fat! *sigh* They are so crunchy and good. I need to buy some Ziploc bags and portion the whole bag before eating them. Maybe that would help. Hopefully I ran enough yesterday to make up for it : )
