I'm not sure today was a net minus in calories but it wasn't a pig-out either and it could have been. Portion control was in check. We went out to eat at Dumpling Inn and we shared steamed pork buns (dumplings) and a deluxe wonton soup. It didn't feel greasy and I was satiated but not stuffed.
Afterwards though we went to a place to hang out at another restaurant (Tea Garden?) and we felt obligated to buy something. I bought and drank an oolong tea with milk and boba. That probably pushed the calorie equation to a plus today. Otherwise it was probably a good day calorie-wise although I had half a bran muffin during the day.
I am comparing today's eating with how I would have eaten a week ago and by that comparison, it's a resounding success. I think in terms of weight loss, I ate more than I expended but I doubt so much more that it makes a serious dent in the overall scheme of things. I still feel like I made forward progress in that my eating habit of gorging at restaurants has been curbed. That really feels good!
I'm getting so much motivation from Sean's blog. I'm so glad he wrote so many entries and so thoughtfully. They really keep me going. I'm a bit afraid when I catch up with him and don't have so many new ones to read everyday - will I still be so motivated then?
Because I was so sore, I took the day off from going to the gym or doing any kind of exercise. I did a bit of stretching and that was it.
