Carb Crazy!

I admittedly feel a bit "bad" for having SO many carbs today... I usually like to have a much more balanced mix, I had about 7.5 servings today... 3-4 more than usual!!
Definately a splurge, but worth it... it's a special occasion!

I'm still a bit disappointed I missed out on Salmon, I love my omega 3s... but we had a great time sitting and chatting with our "bad carb" valentines feast!
I compromised with myself, and decided I'd pick up my favorite Salmon Salad this weekend instead so I still get my craving fulfilled!

They gave me a GIANT serving of pasta... I couldn't believe how much they fit in the take out container! So, in order to control portions I scooped out a bunch and put it in a ziploc container to have for a quick work dinner tomorrow night; and I scooped some pasta, sauce and eggplant into a bowl, and there was still some left in the container! I ate what was in the bowl, plus a bit extra eggplant, and 1/2 a piece garlic bread (they were HUGE... but I couldn't resist!)
So it was a treat... I'll get back to eating healthy tomorrow during the day, and especially on Saturday and Sunday!

I also had a couple valentines treats, of course. For dessert I'm having a small piece of my special biscotti along with a piece of the chocolate Tyler gave me as a valentines gift. What a great friend!
Oh, I'm also sipping on some honeybush caramel tea.



Time to do some studying... see you in the morning- I'm hoping to start the day with another good run, I've got an exam and a chem help session before work, so I'll be busy yet again!

Have a great Valentines night!

Awwww, so cute. I love the chocolates in the heart-shaped box! I got one too, but they're also gone now! :)
