It was my birthday yesterday and boy was the urge to cheat strong. The cafe at work where I refill my water bottle is a Chocolatier with cakes and pastries and LOTS of chocolate. Usually the place doesn't bother me much, but yesterday I had to use all my willpower not to order a piece of cake "for my birthday". I got through it though.
Didn't take enough food to work, though. About an hour before leaving, I was feeling hunger pangs and I had no food and no place to get something appropriate. Yes, I eyed the cakes again. No, I didn't get one. By the time I got home, I was REALLY hungry, but it was already 10pm. I drank a shake (Dark Chocolate, so it helped with my "cheat" cravings) and went to bed.
Today, I weighed myself right out of bed and my 3-4 day stall is over. Lost another 2 lbs. YAY!! I'm going out with a friend for my bday, so I'll have to find low carb options on the go again. It worked out for me last time. Anyone know if the beef and broccoli at Panda Express is carb friendly?

Happy belated Birthday!!!! As for the Panda Express and the beef and broccoli, ask them if there is cornstarch in the sauce. If so, choose something different, as cornstarch is usually the big culprit at the Chinese restaurants. They should have some dishes that are cornstarch, flour, and MSG free, just ask. And kudos to you for your will power. You did AWESOME.

Happy Birthday and totally giving props to you for passing on chocolate cake!!!!! We dont have Panda Express by us here but I found the website and here is the Nutritional Info link:
http://www.pandaexpress.com/menu/nutrition.aspx
Looks like beef & broccoli is listed at 12 gram carb with 3 gram fiber so 9 net carbs. Some of the chicken dishes dont look too hideous either---but keep in mind this is not counting rice of any kind--super duper carby rice!!!

Happy birthday! A day late, but better late than never. I'm glad you're going back to school. My father was a marine. The first song I learned was From the Halls of Monteczuma. I danced to the Marine Corps marching band before I could walk. lol Semper Fi, baby.

Thanks guys! LCGlowy: Thanks for the link. I did go to Panda (see the next entry). I thought it was the Mandarin Chicken that got me, but the Beef and Broccoli must have cornstarch in it. The Mandarin Chicken had 8g carbs and no fiber. So IF they actually gave me the right size serving, I had 4+8+9 = 21g net carbs just on that one meal. oops.
