Just another manic Monday

Here it is...another Monday, another weigh-in, another food journal.  Friday was not so good in the evening - I did not count calories.  I didn't eat anything horrible (almonds, raisins, baked tortilla chips), but I  ate way too much of it and didn't keep track of it!

     I know this is a huge meal, but I planned ahead so I didn't overeat during the day, and I 
     worked out really hard.  Also, I'm not sure of the exact calorie counts for Chinese food, so
     these are estimates.  I ordered my meal steamed with sauce on the side, and I made my 
     own whole grain brown rice to go with it. This meal was from Panda Forest.
