And then the weekend comes along.

So overall, the week went really well. I ate healthy food and made it to the gym 4 times, Sunday- Wednesday.

And then the weekend comes along.

Friday night was my friend Amy's birthday dinner. We went to Rock Bottom Brewery. There I ordered a cheeseburger and ate about half of my fries. I had one bottle of Miller Lite later. So if I had stopped there for the weekend, that doesn't seem too bad.

Now over the summer when I was planning on meeting some friends at the same restaurant, I couldn't find nutritional information on their website. I contacted them, and they sent it. The only thing missing is the total fat count, for some reason. But compared to most restaurants, the calorie count of my meal wasn't TOO horrible. Keep in mind I only ate half of my fries portion.

Here's a screenshot of the nutrition info for the restaurant.

Saturday started off decent. Special K in the morning, Quizno's for lunch - had a turkey pesto bullet and tomato basil soup.

Then Nels and I had a special night planned: seeing Ralphie May, one of our favorite comedians, at The Improv in Schaumburg.

That's where the bomb hit.

Their dinner menu was limited, so I ordered chicken fingers. I have no way of knowing that nutrition info. After our meal, we ordered a big ol' slice of chocolate cake that we split. We also shared a B-52 coffee which was DELICIOUS. It had Kahlua, amaretto and something else in it.

The comedy show was great! I would love to go to something like that again. It was a great deal too, tickets were only $25 and then our meal was about $8.95, so like most restaurants. And we even got our picture with Ralphie May afterwards:

There's the funny fat man in all his glory! Haha. We rushed out to the meeting area right after the show, and luckily he showed up right where we were standing, so we were like the 3rd people to meet him.

THEN when I came home, my mom had used her Perfect Brownie pan that she got for Christmas. I ate one. And I can tell you right now, those damn brownies are going to tempt me ALL WEEK LONG. It's 9:10 in the morning and I want a brownie right now. Thank, devil baking woman! Haha. The only good thing about the Perfect Brownie pan is it makes the brownies a rather small portion size, so I {guess} that's a plus?

Back to the gym today! Going to do some weightlifting and an hour of cardio. Then have to go grocery shopping for my salad stuff for the week.

So, I don't know what to make of my weekend. I certainly could have pigged out MORE if I truly wanted to. I tried to show some restraint, but enjoy myself at the same time. Did I ruin all my hard work for the week???
