Here is the ridiculous thing and let me preface this with the fact that I ate a total of 1050 calories today. BUT...I had two skinny cow mint ice cream cones tonight. Total = 300 calories. I have a cold, I wanted comfort food, I ate one too many desserts. Now my tummy hurts. I also had to take cold medicine which my stomach doesn't like. I was proud of the fact that my boss offered me a snickers bar (halloween sized) today and I declined. However, I should have probably just eaten the snickers since I think that led me to the extra cone tonight. Oh well, I made the choice, it's in my body. My tummy is mad....I likely won't do it again now. ;-)
Also, since I'm sick I opted not to work out today. I have to get back into it, but I was just so beat after work today that I could only think of my pj's.
I had a great lean cuisine for dinner tonight. It was Baked Chicken which came with mashed potatoes and stuffing. 240 calories total. I was afraid of the stuffing, but it went down fine. I couldn't eat the entire meal, but what I ate was great.
Yeah Cara...I'm so feeling like Sumo girl right now. UGH!

Sorry you are still feeling bad...hope you are feeling better soon so we can get running! I am not in nearly as much pain as Sunday so that is something!!
ReplyDeleteI totally and utterly sympathise with you, Jen. It's crap when we feel like you do but I had good news this morning.. I hope you do too :) Thinking of you - and hoping you feel better soon. xxx
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how perspective changes! LOL, back in the pre-band days you would have eaten 1500 calories and been like, "Go me!!!!" and now even tho it's not awful, you know your average is lower. Same for me.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I soooo hate that realization that if I'd had the snickers or whatever earlier in the day, I would have prevented overeating later. Argh. But how are we supposed to know all of that in the moment?
Oh - hang in there! I know that feeling... yuck. I definitely need to re-start tracking my calories AND protein amounts... I'm afraid I'm not doing what I should be on that and have been slacking a bit. Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteJust think how bad you could have been. 2 skinny cows and 1050 calories....still an awesome day. Not good that it hurt your tummy but it should not hurt your weight loss :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is that mentality we were all talking about the other day that we get so coo coo about what we eat, even when it still puts you under 1050. yesterday I ate a 60 calorie pack of animal crackers, had a smoothie for lunch (376 calories) and then was freaking out and wouldnt let myself have a 100 calorie snack in the afternoon.
ReplyDeleteDamn our minds!
Jen...oohh so sorry your feeling so yucky and hope you feel better soon ! I know your tummy doesnt agree but I think that your brain made some great decisions...saying NO to that snickers is just fantastic !!! Think about it before you would have probably snatched that snickers before she finished her sentence ( or maybe that's just me..LOL!)
ReplyDeleteGet better soon chikadee !!!
