Another Day Comes To A Close

I wish this day weren't over yet but it's a good thing it is. I can't take anymore calories for today! If i were still out I'm sure I would still be taking in calories.

I thought we were going out tonight so I tried to keep my daily calorie intake low so that I could have dinner and drinks out.

Keep in mind what I am going to type next is all just an estimate and can change within each other but I do try to stay within 1500 calories a day. This has proven to help me lose weight in the past. However, I don't starve myself either. If I'm truly hungry, I eat.

Breakfast is to be no more than 400 calories. I came in at 373.
Snack 1 (I can have 2 a day-usually try for one between Breakfast and Lunch, the other between Lunch and Dinner) can be 100 calories. I had 2 thin mints for 80 calories total.
So far so good
Then my husband goes to a fast food place for lunch. That's OK, I got on line and found their lowest calorie "good" salad (140 calories). He comes home with the 250 calorie salad. and the dressing is 100 additional calories.
Lunch is to be 500 calories, so I still came in under that at 350 so it's still OK.
Snack 2 was to be at a birthday party at a bowling alley. I thought I would probably have something there before dinner that was to be around 9:00 (with drinks).
Then everything falls apart at the bowling alley. They served dinner.
"Dinner" turns out to be 862 calories! That's right. Once again eating out has tricked me. I thought I was making good decisions. I ate veggies with dip. I only had 2 tablespoons of dip but apparently (the only thing I could find on the Internet) that was 200 calories. I split a brownie with Kyle, my husband, as a treat (I didn't have any birthday cake) and that was still 128 calories! I still made some other good choices such as grapes (50 calories); coffee (7 calories); and water to drink. Anyway, when it's all said and done (or maybe that's ate and done) The good things just added calories I didn't need. So it doesn't matter how many good things you have to eat if you eat too many things.

Well, there's always tomorrow and I got a small workout in, right? I was sweating while I was bowling...
