Did I fudge my good streak?

[missnikki217]

So... working for the State has definitely put a glacial road block in the dieting sector. Potlucks and pastries is what they run on, and I'm having a very hard time with temptation.

Today, we all went to mongolian bbq buffet, and I think I may have done alright by the good doctor, but I'm wondering if I should only eat meat for the rest of the night.

I started my day off with a 2 cup lettuce salad, with pepperoni garnish; also downed my first 34 oz of water.

As for the buffet:

-Mongolian stir-fry with mostly meat: beef, chicken, bean sprouts, zucchini, green onion, minced garlic, a couple of peanuts - with kung pao sauce

-6 (ok, 10) foil wrapped chicken

-Bite of non-breaded kung pao chicken, also bite of broccoli beef, 2 string beans

-(i know i fudged it here) a slice of watermelon

- of course with a diet coke that I sipped slowly LOL

So, it probably looks like chicken or steak with no green beans for me tonight?

Re: Did I fudge my good streak?

Just my opinion, I know it'll put you over in your veggies but you're already over in carbs with the sauce, watermelon and peanuts (of course you know those are for the OWL rungs ), eat the veggies with your meat because they really do go hand in hand when eaten together with the proteins, fibers, vitamins, and fats. If you slip up at one meal, don't let it rock your boat--go straight to the next meal clean as a whistle and keep rowing from there!

Oh, and remember---it takes practice to get through outings, bbqs, parties, celebrations, etc. Chalk this one up to the try pile and learn what you can do next time

Hope that helps
