It could have been worse. I love Japanese food. It usually is quite light. I say usually since there is that deep fried devil they call tempura too. I usually stay away from noodle dishes too since they're higher in calories. Well, I saved up 1005 calories for that excursion, and I may have come in under that until we went to a friend's son's graduation party & I ate 2 pieces of chocolate cake. No layers, not huge, but still two pieces. I don't know what the damage was, but I could take a stab at it: dinner - miso soup (soy broth based, very light) probably under 100 calories, about 1/3 of 5 different kinds of sushi rolls - this probably comes out around 500 calories, veggie tempura - broccoli, onion & sweet potato, no idea on the calories, but it wasn't very much since 3 of us shared one appetizer order, so, let's say 200 cal (total guess), plus a little ice cream (less than 1/2 cup) and some fried banana (about 1/4 of a banana in tempura batter), we'll have to call that 200 calories too, there's my 1000 calories. Plus two smallish to medium sized pieces of single layer cake with whipped cream frosting. No less than 300 calories for both, no more than 400 I'd say. That brings me to over 2000 calories for that day, and all of it after 6pm! But I did sit on my stationary bike and ride it for an hour and a half during a movie afterward.
Saturday was better, I only ate 1800 calories. Plus I walked 3 miles and did the "get ripped" DVD which is about 50 minutes of total body weight training. Today I probably won't be over budget either, but I am hungry. I can't lift weights two days in a row, but I had a lazy softball practice today and spent an hour alternating between batting, pitching, and chasing a ball around a rocky field. Probably doesn't count for much exercise. I'll do something else tonight.
We'll see how it all pans out on Monday, I'm trying to be really active & maybe that'll keep me humming along.
