I'm not surprised. I've done this before.
Now that I'm counting calories - I'm the calorie Nazi. I knew it would happen. I start to watch food others put in their mouth and wonder if they know what they're doing.
Last night I met Tracy at McDonald's. (I'm not going to tell you why, but I hope she posts about it today.) Before going there, I'd only consumed 464 calories. I'm allowed 1250 a day. I had a feeling that my remaining 786 calories wouldn't go far at a fast food restaurant.
I was talking to one of my clients about it and wondered what on earth I'd eat there? Not a salad. I'm not sure what it is about their salads, but they are yuck. They give me a horrible stomach ache too. Ick. My client suggested a snack wrap. Good call! I like those things.
I didn't get to eat breakfast yesterday due to my poor time management. That's something I should be just as psycho about fixing. One thing at a time I guess.
Anyway, we've hit another slow time in the salon, so I was able to come home for lunch yesterday. I didn't want tuna - AGAIN - so I made myself an egg sandwich. That's where I used 464 calories. The good thing about it was that it I ate around 1pm and I knew I'd be hungry by 5:30, but not starving.
So this is what I had: 1 Ranch snack rap, 1 small fry, 1 small sprite. I was full - and didn't need any more food. But then - everyone else got ice cream. I know I didn't have to, but if all my friend jumped off a bridge...duh. Bloop! So add a hot caramel sundae to that and you get.... 1000 calories - even. For ONE meal, people.
HO-LY CAT SMOKES!
Anyway, today I started my day better. I had two farm fresh eggs that came from these chickens. That's 180 calories. Tracy and I have plans to take Nathan and Dawson to the game tonight in Lennox, so I'll need to save all the calories I can. I think I'll take an apple with me to work, so at least I'll have that.
For today is a better calorie counting day. :0)
Happy weekend! GO DOGS!!!

Calorie Nazi - HA!!! That cracked me up!!
I'm a calorie counter as well. I keep a journal in my handbag and write down everything that I consume - down to a stick of gum and also keep track of how many calories I burn at the gym. If I go over my calorie allowance, I know that I need to spend some extra time on the treadmill. Sunday is usually my day off – I don’t workout, I don’t count calories…it helps me keep my sanity.
Keep up the good work!
Calories, Calories, Calories. They are not forgiving are they. I will be completely honest, I enjoy junk! I need to work on it.. yep, I need help..
