Today was a hard day just due to busyness, classes, running around, meetings etc. And sadly I got off track a bit. The only problem is that I didnt get to the gym, which I’m kinda upset about, but there’s not much I can do about it, and I’ll definitely go tomorrow, and I’ll definitely go a minimum of 5 times this week, i guess I just wont get to six times. oh well.
Breakfast: 1 starbucks light double shot (70 cals) i really needed this cuz i didnt get that much sleep, but im definitely going to go get more redbull this weekend so i can save 60 calories, and one string cheese (70 cal)-Breakfast total: 140
Lunch: 1 small cup of campbell’s roasted chicken noodle soup (85 calories) and one half piece of french baguete (~100 cals, guessing) with a slice of swiss cheese (~80 cal) and 2 slices of turkey(~70 cal). Lunch total: 335
Snack: I had a really lame nibble today that I’m mad I have but I’m obviously going to count it anyways. One mini reese’s peanut butter cup (42 cal) and 1 valentines day york peppermint patty (53 cal) stupid snack total= 95 the reason that is so frusterating is because i could have so many better and more filling things, like a yogurt or string cheese. grrr. well if anything ive learned my lesson
Dinner: 4 pieces of sweet potato tempura (280 cal), brown rice (~150 ish), some black bean tofu (200 cal), salad with 2 hard boiled egg whites (30), bean sprouts, lettuce, broccoli, a teeny bit of corn (~70 cal, i should really cut this out to and stick to green low-cal veggies), edamame (~100ish calories…yeesh they have a lot of protein but i didnt know they had so many calories) and some balsamic and a bit of olive oil (~50ish cals, but really i should cut this out of my salads) Dinner total-880 -honestly im shocked about this, because i thought I was being really careful but I think I’m learning that a lot of the little things add up. also i think i need to exercise much more portion control. for example instead of 4 pieces of tempura, I really should have had 1 or 2, and really I should just have a tiny bit of brown rice. but also, i need to be more cautious of what i put in salad. I dont think i realized how many calories edamame have or corn or olive oil. so next time i’m going to entirely cut those out of my salads and stick to all green vegetables, and to just balsamic vinegar.
so, sadly one of my highest calorie totals in a while 1450. I mean, it’s nothing crazy, but not the best. also, i may still have 1/2 a banana or an apple tonight, because I didnt have any fruit today. Oh well, tomorrow’s another day. I guess every day is a new lesson learned. also, i think i suffered from not having an afternoon snack because i was obviously hungry and ate too much at dinner, and also those stupid candies.
2 days from weigh in…eek. i hope i can get back on track tomorrow.
