Why why why…. February 24, 2009
The Devil Inside. Appropriately enough that song is playing on the radio right now while I was looking up the calories for the lunch I ate today. I am appalled. I thought I had chosen borderline crappy/wisely. Why is it on day 2 of what everyone knows is your big on plan moment, someone invites you to lunch. I was all prepared to eat what I knew should, and didn’t order what I drooled on on the menu. I found something I thought would meet in the middle. Maybe 900 cals? I thought. Here it is…. from Chili’s
Looks good huh? Mine only came with 2 tacos though AND 1540 CALORIES, 76 GRAMS OF FAT, 4710 MILLIGRAMS OF SODIUM. IS THAT EVEN EFFING LEGAL TO SERVE? This plate from HELL is the Chicken Crisper Tacos. I am sick to death that I put that in my body. I just treadmilled off 208 calories. it took 30 minutes. I would have to treadmill for the next 3 hours to almost work this off. This meal alone puts me over my daily goal. No wonder America is freaking obesanormous! I am going to go throw a teeny tiny piece of fish on the grill and eat salad with a 1/2 a plain baked tater. Shit. Thats what I get for listening to the Devil Inside today. If you see him, ignore him…. 
Look at that thing! It looks like some kind of three layered sneer! I swear, it’s laughing at you. The bastard!
OUCH! Man I would have never thought that tacos could have so many calories! Dont worry you will get back on track today. Not to mention you worked out and that will help.

Ug I know it’s SO FRUSTRATING! It’s like eating out is killer for you- and though salt doesn’t directly make you gain weight- it does make you retain water AND AND it raises your blood pressure.
If you like fish the guitless grill stuff is way better- their sodium levels are very low- like 500-700 mg. Much better.
I also find when I do more cooking do the stuff at home my sodium intake (according to my sparkpeople tracker) never goes above 2000. Even eating at subway that’s like 2000 mg in a footlong! *dies*
I am in trouble. I like your devil a lot. He looks fun.
Seriously, tacos shouldn’t be that calorie heavy.. Anyways, lesson learned and move on…
love,
