Day 18 Rainy Days and Mondays

It rained all day. A constant drizzle from morning until night. I didn't get to walk.
Day 18 Calorie Count: Right on the money...1500 (but I hit the target at lunch and ate nothing else after 12:40 p.m.)
Breakfast: Coffee w/4 T Half 'n Half, a homemade blueberry muffin w/1 T. margarine (I Googled Au Bon Pain and it listed a 5.8 ounce blueberry muffin at 510. Mine was about 4 ounces, so I'm guessing with margarine) (550)
Lunch: Chicken salad on a croissant at a friend's (about one cup). (Panera's chicken salad is 60 calories/ounce). I estimated that my serving would be (480) on a croissant (170) for a total of (650).
My carbometer was ticking by the time my friend proudly presented her piece de resistance, a delectable lemon tart. I was in the range. I also knew what she paid for the removable-bottom pan at Williams Sonoma and I would've rather chewed off my my knee than start the- "Oh! I'm watching my weight"- dance. Remember those calories are forgiven, or at least, stashed in pie purgatory. The tart was wonderful, and I savored (and counted) every tangy, sweet, luscious forkful
