cream cheese, 1/2 roll w/ crabmeat, cucumber, and some sort of sauce,
1/2 roll w/ eel & cream cheese); small watermelon wedge {too much
food!}

6:45 (driving to wine tasting): ready-to-drink chocolate protein shake

8:00 -- 10:00 (wine tasting -- which I presented this evening): 7 oz.

Studio Cycle: Basically rode for about 10 minutes at increasing
resistance levels, while Tom was measuring my heart rate and assessing
my anaerobic threshold. He concluded it was around 150, though it
seemed a very inexact process to me.

Breakfast - 100g container source yogurt
1/2 cup kellogs viva soy
1/2 cup 1% milk
3 strawberries


Lunch (part of sleepover at friends house)
2 cups homemade (authentic Italian... yummy) pasta and sauce
(too much, felt very full)
1 3oz meatball
1 cup salad
- cucumbers, lettuce w/canola oil and balsamic vinegar


Dinner (still at sleepover, ordered in, planned)
1 California breaded chicken sandwich (1/2 at 6pm, second half
at 8pm)
1 slice watermelon

snack ( while watching movie, partly to keep awake)
3 cups light microwave popcorn

Water - Many glasses, lost count
Exercise.. none. GRRR

I'm quickly realizing where I still need to evaluate and the biggest place
seems to be when eating with other people who don't share my lifestyle. I
need to learn to be stronger and listen to myself. I also need to be
vigilant in keeping portions as that's how I seem to manage my overeating.
The spaghetti was actually a fault in that strategy. I said two forkfuls
thinking that would be about 1 cup. It ended up being more like 2 and even
though I could have stopped after eating only half I felt that I would be
wasting food she had spent all morning cooking. Lessons learned and that's
what counts I guess. Being aware of it at least makes it less likely to
happen again.

I think you did fine. What's important is that, having realized you
probably overate the spaghetti lunch, you didn't say to yourself,
"Well, what the heck, I've blown it anyway!" and go on to eat a bunch
of chips and sweets and stuff the rest of the day. And it was a good
learning experience, as you say.

Actually it was the opposite. Her granddaughter made homemade cookies that
both my sister and friend wanted to eat. I was the one who was holding out
and actually told my friend to make her granddaughter take them home when
she left. I was also the one who suggested the light popcorn when they were
in the mood for a snack during the movie. I don't feel I ate badly, I just
feel I ate too much. I forgot to add that the total calorie count that day
was 1935.

I'd say you handled the situation just right. You realized you ate a
bit too much at lunch, and you compensated for it later, even turning
down treats that were offered.
