So I will admit that my food choices today were not the best.... I was at 55% of my RDI going into my dinner which should have been plenty of calories, but Billy and I decided to have a burger from work. ALTHOUGH... we did omit the mayo AND honey mustard dressing from the burger which is not included in my calorie counting, which probably brings me back down enough to not be over!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!! This doesn't change the fact that I made some unhealthy decisions today.... Well I fessed up! It actually feels really good to have logged everything that I ate with honesty. I think the more I do this the more honest I will be with myself when choosing meals. I wrote in an earlier post that I hated calorie counting... really though it's not that bad I think a lot of the time I am just afraid to know how much I am actually eating. I am going to try and stay within my 1600 calorie allowance and still eat what I want! That was the other big thing that got me, I was having massive cravings because I was holding back from a lot of things. It's evident that I cannot restrict myself from eating the things that I like, I am just going to have to learn how to portion control these things better!!!!
p.s. I did day one of p90x today! Tomorrow I am going to go for a run in the morning (if the weather cooperates), Miranda and I may or may not be going rock climbing, and I am going to try and fit day 2 of p9ox in there :)

I feel the same way. There have been days where I know I'm going to go over so I just stop counting for the day because I'd rather not see it. That's no bueno. Let's both try to be honest with ourselves!
ReplyDeleteI HAVE to portion control the things I like to eat. I would go crazy if I couldn't have Mexican food and chocolate and would just end up going on a murderous eating rampage...so it's best that I try to have a very small piece of chocolate every day and a steady supply of Mexican food. I can easily control the calories if I make it at home (which I often do) and when I go out just have one taco instead of a massive calorie bomb burrito. Speaking of Mexican food....I've got to start making my cinco de Mayo plans!!!! Yum!
