This week, I had a HUGE spike in calorie consumption in a single day. Sunday to be exact. Several of us went out to lunch to Dickey's Barbecue Pit after church. I knew that I had been doing fairly well and that I had been meeting my goals, so I figured "why not?". I had the all-you-can-eat buffet. And, boy, did I eat well! I managed to bring in a total of 2264 calories for that meal alone! Wow!
But don't judge me too soon. I found out the other night that this is much easier to do than most people realize. Take a pretty standard American-Style meal at a prominent national chain like Steak 'n' Shake. If one orders the signature dish, a steakburger with a side of cheese fries with a chocolate shake to drink, they will wind up consuming 1970 calories. Make that a double steak-burger and you just surpassed my all-you-can-eat buffet experience.
Thankfully, like I said, I did well the rest of the week so the Sunday lunch binge didn't have a lasting negative effect. As you can see from the graphs, I once again came in under my weight goal despite Sunday's Mount Everest.
Also, I'm pretty proud of myself for turning down free food yesterday. That's huge for me. I love a free meal. And, I was given the opportunity to choose between two boxed lunches from Panera Bread. I chose to pass on both. Yikes!
