Day off diet, is the whole thing a wash?

Hi! This board is great, I have used it so much, this is my first post. I am on day 5, but still working without a book (it is on it's way in the mail) I have been relying on this board for all my info.
My question, if I have a day were I break from phase 1, am I then back to square 1? Do I have to start it over again? I see break in the diet coming this weekend, but if my whole week will be for nothing I may have to change my plans.
Thanks!!

Our meal included red wine with dinner and we split a dessert of mixed berries with a custard sauce. We didn't eat the potatoes or the bread. I had a seafood entree with veggies, my DH had a lean cut of meat with veggies.
It can be a slippery slope to allow yourself a meal off, so be careful. But I figured it was better to start 4/4 and "cheat" on 4/8 than to wait until 4/12 to start. I wanted to get moving! I didn't feel like I had to go back to Day One to attone for my "sins". But you know yourself and this event better than I do, so you will have to be the judge.
My suggestion would be to gauge how off track the day would really be (can you snack on SB things before or after so you aren't super hungry during? Will there be choices that aren't too far off? Or is this a cake eating contest?). This is a WOE and you are still supposed to be living your life.

Even when you reach stage 2 and have a bad day/weekend maybe try going back to phase 1 for a day or two and you will be fine!
This weekend is tough for me too, its my birthday and Mother's Day. I plan on sticking with as much of the plan as possible but not going to worry about every little bite. And I also plan on taking my fiber and drinking my water, two things that should help counteract the bad I do. :)
Good luck,
Sue
