I know you're wondering how well I abstained yesterday - and I give myself a B-.
By midnight, when I still wasn't half finished but beginning to doze, I hit up a serving of hot tamales - purely to keep me awake! I read somewhere that for long road trips and stuff cinnamon candy is good to keep you from dozing.
Overall, my daily intake was:
1,472 calories 246 carbs 19 fat 72 protein
It would have been a lot worse had I not stopped myself in the early afternoon. I know me. I would have probably eaten then entire box of candy by the time I finished my paper!
Generally, I eat 1300 calories or less. On Friday and Saturday, however, I allow myself 1500. Not tonight! Since I "splurged" yesterday, I am not giving myself and extras today.
I know what you're thinking: Isn't Friday date night? Yes, however, the new house is near a couple of places dedicated to healthy eating. If I can convince Kevin to go to one of those for dinner, and keep my meal under 600 calories then I will be fine.
If I can't convince Kevin to try a healthy place, I recently found out that he loves Boston Market. So, I just gave their website a visit and checked out the nutritional information. They have several options that are beneath 550 calories!
I'm thinking beef brisket, steamed veggies and fresh fruit salad ... that's only 400 calories! I could also add green beans for another 60 calories! And here I thought I wouldn't be able to have a beer. Pshaw!
Daily totals: 1,261 calories, 106 carbs, 47 grams of fat, 85 grams of protein.
ReplyDeleteThat involved Brisket, steamed veggies, half a Guinnes, 2 cups of popcorn, a chocolate muffin and half a rice cake (I got the munchies after dinner).
