Tonight was a hard night. We went to the visitation of our friend who passed away from cancer on Wednesday. Going to a visitation/funeral for someone who died so young, so quickly is heartbreaking. I know without a doubt he is in heaven tonight, but my heart hurts for his wife, parents, and other friends. So, afterward, Glen and I took advantage of having a babysitter (my dad) and stopped for dinner on the way home. After such a sad/difficult evening, we decided to splurge a little and to go to Fini's. I knew it would be hard to eat healthy there, but I am a little proud of myself for how I did. I knew we would likely eat out tonight so I tried to eat low calorie for lunch.
Breakfast: None...Glen got up with Caleb and let me sleep late so I didn't eat any. I got up at 9:00, but I wasn't really hungry. Chipotle was filling yesterday.
Lunch: Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup (220 calories), 200 calorie Diogiorno pizza, saltines (30 calories)
Dinner: Caesar salad, Cheese Ravioli with Marinara (I ate maybe 2/3 of it), and one roll. (Calories - no idea, but I figure after only 450 calories all day, it was okay).
Total for the Day: I'm guessing 1000 calories for dinner, so 1450. The salad didn't have much dressing, and it wasn't as heavy as a traditional caesar dressing anyway. It was more vinagrette-like.
But, even if I'm way off and dinner was 1500...it's still below 2000 calories. I chose the cheese ravioli because I knew that was one of the lower calorie Italian options, plus it was yummy. I didn't eat it all, and Caleb LOVES cheese ravioli so he can have the leftovers tomorrow. As someone who has said that emotions don't drive my eating...I was wrong. Sometimes, I am an emotional eater.
By the way, if someone happens to know the calorie content of my dinner tonight...don't tell me. I don't want to know if I'm way off. Unless I'm estimating too high. Then tell me.
