Well, since I’m pretty much out of calories for the day, and I’m avoiding the open box of chips in the front foyer I think perhaps it’s time to head to my bed.  Lots of studying, homework, etc. for the weekend, and perhaps some gardening (weather dependent).

Food for the day:

Total: 2000 (13% fat, 38% carbs, 31% protein, 16% alcohol)  oh my!

Breakfast: protein shake with oatmeal and frozen berries (331)
AM Snack: none (0)
Lunch: whole wheat tortillas, mustard, smoked turkey, apple (428)
PM Snack: beer (500)
Dinner: meat sauce with whole wheat spaghetti and parmesan cheese, salad w/dressing (562)
Late Snack: protein shake (180)

So today’s lessons learned are:

- I cannot drink like I used to at my heaviest
- 2 pints of beer is more than I should ever have in a short period of time

For those that don’t know, the campus bar closes at 4pm on a Friday.  Yes, a silly thing, but there it is.  Our last class ends at 3:15/3:30 and we usually grab a quick one before going home.  Tonight I took a pint of Heinekin and didn’t object loudly enough at last call and had a second one put in front of me.  Usually I just take a bottle, so why a pint today I don’t know.  This wasn’t a problem until I stood up to leave (we were allowed to stay until about 4:30 because the bouncer likes us).  I realised that I’d had way too much in too short a period of time, especially on an empty stomach.  So I stuck around the college, had a cup of coffee before I headed home.

I used to be able to drink quite a bit without worrying about it.  Now I need to watch it a little more carefully.  As well, I went over my planned calorie allowance (with 1 or 2 bottles max) and I’ll have to cut my dinner back a bit to make up for it. 

Now I’m off to lay down until dinner (head still spinning a little)…
