Dinner dilemma

I had a business meeting after work yesterday, and planned so well to have mini-meals & snacks thru the day.
B: cereal & milk = 230
S1: 1/2 pbj = 170
L: chicken = 60, broccoli = 45, 1 c. fruit salad = 120 >> TOTAL 225
S2: banana = 100, crackers = 120 >> TOTAL 220
S3: banana = 100, 1/2 pbj = 170 >> TOTAL 270

Total to here is 1115. Great, I thought. I'll just have one of my WW meals or a small salad and finish around 1375 calories for the day. I stopped at the grocery store to find something for hubby for dinner, but didn't like any of the meat prices. Instead I bought a 4-pack of frozen egg rolls and some Doritos on sale for $1.99. Huge bags!! I figured I'd just have one egg roll.

And then....I fell apart. I wasn't all that starving, but I had a serving of chips while dinner was cooking (150 calories). And then, in addition to the 1 egg roll that I'd planned (170 calories), I also had 2 mozzarella sticks that I cooked (another 130 calories). Ahhhh!!!! :( Instead of 1375, I ended the day at 1565.

Today is another day, though. No business meeting tonight, so I'll come right home after work, throw my chicken in the oven, and be back on track with a healthier dinner!
