**Bust**

Yesterday was a bust food wise, and I, completely, blame my husband because it was his birthday, and we went a little crazy!  No, I don't really blame him - only kidding about that part. :)  We ate a healthy breakfast and lunch, so everything was fine there.  In the afternoon, we attended a birthday party for our niece, and things started taking a turn for the worst, at that time.  They served pizza, lots of appetizers, and cake.  I resisted the pizza and cake, but I had my fair share of guacamole and homemade tortilla chips, and a few swipes of a spicy sausage dip.  After leaving there, my hubby and I headed out for a date night to celebrate his birthday.  Last month, we won a $75 gift certificate to Chicago's popular Rosebud restaurant, so we decided to go there, and that's where we, temporarily, lost our minds!

Of course, there was bread, oil, and cheese brought as soon as we sat down, and I had two and half pieces of bread.  Then we had stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer - omg, these were so good, and, oh, so fattening!  For my entree, I ordered Gnocchi w/ braised pork and spinach, but I was so full from the bread, and appetizer that I only could only eat about a quarter of it, so I had the rest wrapped up to bring home for my girls.  We decided NOT to get dessert because we were so full, so we asked for the check.  Instead of the check, the waiter brings a big, beautiful piece of Tiramisu!!  It was complimentary because we had waited for 30 min. past our reservation time to be seated!  Well, even though we were, completely, stuffed we ate almost all of it!  Yup, we had lost our minds!

I don't know how many calories I consumed yesterday, and I'm not even going to try to figure it out!   What's done, is done.  It's not something we do on a regular basis anymore, and it's not something we're going to repeat any time soon! :)

  1. I blame your hubby too (LOL). Eating out is just too dangerous. I would have had a hard time with the Tiramisu myself. It's my favourite. Absolutely right about what's done is done...no wallowing. Full speed ahead to Healthy Times Farm.

  2. What's life if you don't splash out a bit once in a while :o

    And if you are going to eat loads of calories - might as well be delicious food cooked by someone else :)

    Sounds like a LOVELY meal :)

  3. Is that the certificate you one at the Fundraiser?? I'm so glad you got to enjoy it!!! Honestly, your day doesn't sound SO bad. The fact that you skipped the pizza and cake at the birthday party is quite huge (not sure I would have been able to)! You HAVE to enjoy yourself sometimes and you know you are going right back to stricter eating so I think it's all good!! Tell Dave Happy Birthday for me!

  6. I live in Chicago and see their ads on the bus/el all the time ... I don't know if I could have controlled myself there. It all looks so good!!!

  7. Great attitude that what's done is done. You are absolutely right and you can't go back and change it. All you can do is move forward! Good job on what you have accomplished so far!
