Wow. I had a "fell off the wagon" night last night! I went almost 500 calories over and above my daily limit. I was at about 500 calories *under* my goal after dinner last night, and I think that is what did me in. I had all this room for snacking (calorie-wise), and I just went crazy, and just couldn't stop. So, really, I *snacked* almost 1,000 calories (which is what put me at 500 over). Argh!!! I'll have to make it up the whole rest of the week by shaving off about 170 calories per day for the next 3 days just to get back to my on-target average.

What is it about Mondays?!?!

The good news about it is that I wrote it all down. And if I hadn't been holding myself accountable by writing it all down (like, say, how I would've been over a year ago), I would have kept right on eating. And...there wouldn't have been anything to stop me from eating whatever I wanted the next day for lunch, or for dinner, or for snacking....that used to be par for the course for me.

So, I owned it. Didn't put me in a good position for having some carryover calories going into my weekend, but at least I know that I can make the necessary adjustments and get right back on track. Immediately.
