Saturday

Ok, so I'm being lame and instead of commenting on everyone's post on their actual post - here are my comments....

Mallory - I think those are great goals/plans for tonight. Eating before people get there will help you stay away from some of the not so great stuff for you and make sure you get some protein too. Yay for water! And I agree, I think it'll come off pretty quickly after the holidays :)

Molly - uhhhh.... weiiirrrdd. I think drawing is such an important quality to have for a firefighter. I don't want anyone fighting MY fires if they can't even draw flames. Pishawww. ;)


Ok, on to my day....
I weighed in this morning at 150.4! Can I get a Woot! Woot! This is definitely the thinnest I have ever been in my adult life, counting high school. Maybe middle school... I don't know. It's definitely the lowest my bmi has been in like 20 years.

We aren't going to our church Christmas party tonight after all... Aaron's parents called and told us that we're doing a family dinner tonight. Nice of them to give us some warning, or ask us our opinion, right?! Anyway, I'm trying not to be too bitter.... but I am. That's just how I roll sometimes.

So, my mom was nice enough to make the dessert that I was supposed to make and take to the church thing so I can take the dessert that I DID make to Aaron's parents' house. Niiicce. So I made "special K" bars. They're like a peanut butter rice crispy treat covered in butterscotch and milk chocolate. They are Fab. u. lous. So, I was curious what damage it would do if I ate one. Or nine. So I sat down and figured out the calories (not even the fat or sodium) and get this, for 1/15 of the pan, it is 454 calories. Hopefully THAT will keep me from eating nine of them. I think that in a Walgreens world (ya know, the perfect ones), all food would be w/o calories. But if they did have calories, everything would be labeled with how many.
Like: Here, this chicken is 130 calories. This salad is 20 calories. HELLO - this dessert bar is 450 calories. Do you realize that's more than 1/3 of our daily calorie intake? ha haa haa... but they're sooo goooooood.

Hopefully tonight goes ok. I'm also with Mallory in that I'm going to eat a little before we even go to dinner and probably take a salad along with my dessert so there is something that I can eat at dinner (ya know, instead of potatoes and gravy, stuffing, all that crap that I don't even really like but I eat anyway).

Goals today:
water 3 or 4 bottles. I've only had one today, so I'd better get on it.
Protein at 100.
Exercise (already did)
Meet my step goal of at least 10,000 steps.


Another funny thing. Yesterday I didn't work out and I was so far from my step goal that when I was watching a movie last night on tv (before Aaron got home and the girls were already in bed), I jogged during most of it. By the end of the day (with working and jogging to my tv) I burned more calories than if I did kickboxing. lol
