One cheat meal in the books

Tonight we celebrated my husbands birthday with his side.  I made a devils food cake with homemade chocolate buttercream frosting.  It was amazing, aside from the fact that my oven died and I had to bake the cake in a neighbors oven that was not as good as my oven.  Bit on the odd-shaped size.

Tonight was my first cheat meal.  I was a bit nervous about it.  My in-laws were making chicken mole and spanish rice with beans.  Fat, additives, bad carbs, fat and a side of fat.  I had a piece of chicken, a small spoonful of rice with the beans.  It was good. But, it was not to-die-for good.  I had been dreaming of this meal for 8 weeks and it was....okay.  I did not eat too much.  I did not eat a helping bigger than my regular portion.  I was happy with that.  The birthday cake was wonderful and I had a small tbsp. size of Neapolitan ice cream.  Just perfect.

And, my first cheat meal is in the books.

I am excited to get back on the plan in the morning.  I am really looking forward to my healthy food being back.

I am approaching 200 lbs.  and I am really happy.  I am so resolved to the fact that I must exercise once each day.  I like the feeling I get when I am all finished.  On Friday I did (6-7) 2-2 intervals.  That is a huge increase for me.  I say 6-7 because I can't remember if I did 6 or 7.

We are traveling to Las Vegas on March 20th-23rd.  We will be staying at the Station Casino and eating the buffet a few times.  I am trying to prepare myself for that time.  I will be doing it exactly by the books until we leave.  When I am on vacation I must allow myself to be off and yet stay diligent about portions.  I think the casino has a fitness room and I plan on working out daily, if time allows.

I need to figure out how to make my new life fit into my life.  I know that sounds weird, but it is true.  I cannot worry about the interruptions in my steady ride.  I must move with the flow and allow interruptions to not be roadblocks.
