I'm torn between thinking I'm doing awesome and thinking I'm doing terrible. On the one hand, I ran over 4 miles today, which myfitnesspal tells me burned 480 calories. Awesome.
On the other hand, The Champ is en route as I type this to get Sonic Blasts for dessert.
I didn't do too hot yesterday. I did good for the first part of the day, but then I had to drive at night, in the rain, downtown, and by the time I made it to my friend's house, my body was begging me for carbs and alcohol. I had to give in. We went to dinner and I ate a healthy meal of grilled chicken and broccoli. (With a side of 2 rolls, spinach and artichoke dip, and a "skinny lemon drop.")
If I do good today, it will all balance out right? That makes sense in my head. Right?!
Today, I used myfitnesspal to log in ALL of my food. It was annoying, but also helpful. Because of my run, I was able to build in 480 calories to my daily allotment. If I stick to the plan and only eat half the blast, (which is all I can handle anyway) I'll still be a couple hundred calories shy of my daily target.
Who says you can't have treats in life?
Breakfast: Shakeology Shake made with water and 1/2 a banana (182)
Lunch: Open faced (turkey) bacon with tomato and 1 tsp mayo, 1 baked sweet potato with light butter, and 1/2 c. fresh pineapple (390)
Dinner: Whole wheat pasta with pesto and chicken breast and Parmesan blend cheese, 1/2 c. green beans.
4 oz Moscato....because it's Friday and I can. (620)
Dessert: Half...(Hear that, self? HALF) a Snickers Sonic Blast (340)
(Did you know there were 680 calories in a regular snicker's blast?! Ouch.)
Daily Total: 1537
(213 calories less than my daily goal. Running totally saved my diet today.)
myfitnesspal is awesome for tracking...i love that you can track sugar and fat as well as calories.
