Day 498: 278 lbs

Yesterday was not so good on my diet. I went about 500 calories over my 1,500 calorie quota.

The good news is that it was an isolated problem, and that I kept track of (and logged) everything I ate.

What happened was that my family was planning to have dinner at a food court at the Mall of America. I was planning to get a burger at Johnny Rockets--the Streamliner, which has about 450 calories. I'd allocated about 650 calories for dinner, and was getting hungry.

When we got there, Johnny Rockets was horribly understaffed. I spent ten minutes waiting in line to place my order, and realized that it would take at least another 20 to actually get my food. The rest of the family was already eating.

So hunger won out, and I went to the Baja Grill to get a burrito, which I could get in under five minutes. Hence the 500 calories over quota.

At least I didn't gain any weight. I didn't lose any, but it could have been worse.
