New Year's Eve, my first test

Yesterday-

Day 5 (yesterday) - 3 miles
-----------------------
6pm - Ran/walked 2 miles. Ran about 2/3's of that total. Had a hard time with it. For some reason, my legs felt really tired from the beginning. I pushed through, though.
6:45pm - Walked 1 brisk mile with the family.
Stayed around 1600 calories

Today-
I plan on making this an easy day or even full rest, who knows, it's early. Making today a rest/easy day will put my schedule on track for next week. Today is New Year's Eve and we are going to a potluck party. Typically, at these type of things, I munch and munch. I never eat 'til I am ready to puke, but I take in FAR to many calories. Tonight I am going to eat, but I am going to control my portions. I know it's ok to 'splurge' once in a while, but that one night cannot turn into falling off the wagon completely.

In the past, I also have had free DAYS instead of free MEALS. In other words, I would have made today a free day instead of a free night. We would make a trip to the store for whatever sounded good, and I would eat way to much all day long. Then the next day, I would feel obligated to eat leftovers...and I never would get back on track!!! *Sigh*

So my goal is to:
*Be on track with calories during the day, today
*Control my portions tonight
*Back to normal tomorrow
*3 miles tomorrow.

Day 6- Rest Day, 2000 calories or so
