A funny thing happened..

It's weird sometimes how a diet plan will workout.  I track all my meals yesterday, as is my normal habit now.  I enter my breakfast, lunch, and snack at work, then add in my dinner at home.  After adding in my dinner last night, I noticed that I was over 1,000 calories under my daily calorie goal.  In my opinion, this deficit was too high.  I needed to eat something else to bring the deficit closer to -700 range.  So, I ate half a serving of birthday cake (my step-son's birthday cake) and a full serving of chocolate ice cream.  After tracking the extra calories, I was a -722 calorie deficit, which seemed to me a healthier number.  
I'm going to weigh tomorrow morning and see how things are going.  If the process is working right, I should be down another pound or so, which would also drop my daily calorie goal.  We shall see.
