Holiday Meltdown

Happy Valentine's Day!

Yesterday was the first holiday since I started, and my carbs were WAY off (think 67 instead of 20). Ironically it wasn't from where I expected!

I carefully planned a special, low carb-friendly dinner (we made sushi without the rice) and even planned chocolate in my day! However, we splurged by having lunch out at Ikea as they had a meatball special on. I figured I would eat the meatballs and salad, and skip the sauce and the potatoes and that would keep me in good stead.

Lesson learned: always check your carbs ahead of time! The meatballs had 9 carbs in 6 measly little meatballs! I won't be doing that one again! Ironically, the cream sauce only has 3 carbs in 1/4 cup!

Oh well, lucky for me today is a new day and I am back on the wagon, going ahead full steam!

P.S. I also forgot to mention - when I weighed this week I lost the weight I gained last week, and am down another 0.2 kg. Yay me!
