Weight watching

I had about 500-600 calories left for the day when dinner rolled around. So I went to the local Thai restaurant (it's only 2 blocks from home) and ordered stir-fry vegetables and chicken. I should've told them not to bring rice, but they did. I mostly ignored the rice, though, and just ate the veggies and chicken and delicious sauce. I ordered it hot, and it was what I call "Portland hot" - spicy but not mouth-searing.

I gave in and ate about a half-cup of the rice. I used it to sop up the remaining sauce.

My mental estimate of the calories for that dinner suggested I had another 100 or so left, and I wanted to hang out at the coffee shop. I went next door and ordered a non-fat chai latte. However, when I sat down to actually count up the calories, I ended up going a little bit over for the day. Probably should have skipped the chai.

I worried that I would be up over 190 lbs. I know, silly. But it all worked out in the end, because this morning I was only up by a half-pound, to 188 even, from yesterday. My 30-day trend actually went down some more, to 188.9. *phew*

Like I said, this weekend will be the test. I really want to keep my numbers under 190 for a week. I can do it!

Tonight after work I'm going for a run, even though it'll probably be warm and muggy. I think I'll aim for 4-5 miles. Then this weekend... hmmm. Long run? Or some kind of speed work, or hill work? I can't decide. Somethin' hard, anyway.
