***

Yeah, dinner was a fail. The plan was to go to a steakhouse, but plans changed to italian. Not much on the menu was too diet friendly. It was my decision - nobody else - to just eat a regular carby meal. I had hoped to make it a few more weeks (other than Sunday nights that is) before having a meal like this, but so be it. The trick absolutely is to let it end here. One bad meal. Believe me, i thought about stopping on the way home for something more.

The bottom line is that carbs make me hungry. For more carbs.

One small positive I guess is that I didn't have any sugar.

No accomplishments again, got home at 8.
