I went out. Not on my own and not just because I felt like it, but because one of my good friends was having a birthday party (Happy Birthday Suripat!).
So myself, my boyfriend Lincoln, Suripat and around 18+ other people went to Suminoya buffet. A Japanese buffet...
Let me repeat that... Buffet. In other words...all you can eat.
So on one hand, I knew where I had agreed to go to, and what to expect. I don't feel guilty at all about going because it was planned and not a spontaneous gorging.
On the other hand, it really wasn't too healthy, and I have NO IDEA how many calories I consumed.... -_-'
So good points v.s bad points............
Good Points Bad Points
Lots of meat equals lots of protein (something Some of the meat was quite fatty
I haven't really been having enough of lately). and greasy, so not the best.
I ate a lot of salmon sushimi which is quite healthy Had very little (almost no) vegetables.
and not fatty and a part from meat, I ate rice as well
so I didn't just have meat and fish.
Although I was eating food that wasn't the healthiest, I have no idea how many calories I
I made sure I didn't stuff myself or over indulge in any consumed and though I was only
one food, andI only ate until I was comfortably full. comfortably full, I probably ate too much...
So to make up for my planned outing (and treat) I have already made decisions on 2 things I am changing this week to make up for any extra calories or fat I consumed...
1) Cut 200cals from my daily calorie allowance - It is all about averages, cutting 200cal per day gives me an extra 1400 cal difficant this week which should help to make up for last night (I am positive I did NOT consume more then this as it was a Japanese buffet and therefore pretty good quality and I really didn't have that much of the fatty meats).
2) Exercise EVERY day this week (not every second day as I usually do) and exercise for longer each day (min 1 hr) - just in case I did eat more then 1400 (I know I didn't, but better safe then sorry).
This last one is also me "paying" for my outing. I knew I was going to go out, so because of that I have to make sure I earn that outing! :-D .
I do hope I am able to earn back any extra calories I consumed last night and still have a good weight loss this week, but we will see! Either way it was a good night and I do not feel one ounce of guilt as it was planned and I am taking measures to earn those calories back!
What about you? What do you do when you got out and splurge on something (whether that is food, or shoes, or movies, or going out drinking with mates...), do you do something to earn that splurge/ pay for it/ justify it? Would love to hear some stories in the comments below.
Thanks for reading.
