I need to do better tracking today so I'm officially doing it again. Yesterday didn't go as well as planned. I ended up lounging with fam/friends watching a Bollywood mvie and we broke out the plantain chips and cookies of which I had too many. But I probablly only went around 500-600 calories over my daily, meaning I consumed around 2200 cals. Which isn't as bad as I've done before. Plus it's accounted for, so I'm going to move on. And I'm giving myself kudos (haha giving Kud kudos) for working out yesterday and feeling it today in my legs. Whoopee!
Anytime I feel bad about what I ate, I remember that it was a special day getting to spend hours upon hours with some of my favorite ppl and I remember that if any of those people were not here today, I'd give any number of thousands of calories to recreate the moments of love and fun I had with them. A bit morbid, but it does put things into perspective. Why spend time griping about the fact that I overate when I had a lovely time with my family and that is the most important gift we're given in this life. Ok cheesy now?
Moving on, today I have work until maybe 3 or 4. Then I plan on parking my cute butt on a coffee shop stool and studying it off, until I've completed maybe 3-4 chapters of the Kaplan MCATs book.
Food planning will resume as usual:
9am: same as yesterday =270 calories
3pm: 1 serving rice (200cals), spinach/potatos (150cals), chicken (150 cals), one piece cheese (50cal), 1 serving blueberries (50 cals), 1.5 biscuits (120cals)=720 cals
5pm: 1 strawberry fiber one bar (140cals), 1 apple fiber one bar (130cals), 1 cup of tea(80 cals)=350 calories
9pm: 2 small chicken kebabs (200 cals), 2tbsp Sabra hummus (50 cals), 1 small cheese piece (50 cals)=300 cals

Sometimes, like after the fact, all you can do is move past! Here's to a better day today!
ReplyDeleteYou're right. There are times, it's better to remember the great fun and people we were with rather than the calories consumed.
ReplyDeleteHow very, very true. I'd trade all the calories in the world to get to spend the day with my Granny again. *sigh*
ReplyDelete@ Me Only Beter,
ReplyDeleteYea. Here's to a better day. Although I still am feeling this need to eat emotionally. As long as I track it, I think I"ll be ok. It's better to satisfy your cravings rather than eating mindlessly until you are in a full-out binge attempt
@TJ and Losing Myself,
I totally feel you guys. Calories are just not worth it. THey take up too much of our day sometimes and when we screw up we feel like we've done something morally wrong. I try to put things into perspective and I think this blogging will really help.
