McFatty Monday!

Butler Basketball doing so well in the tournament has been great fun & great for the school, but not so good for my diet.

As I promised, I kept track of everything I put in my mouth. Every single thing. Except for Sunday, because yesterday was awful. I ate like 6 cookies & chugged a couple little apple juices in my sleep because I was so thirsty, so I knew there was no point.

I kept track of what I ate on my Mac. I've tried doing the notebook thing before & it wasn't effective. However, I'm always on my Mac so I thought this would be the best option. It worked out wonderfully.

The first day, Monday, I only allowed myself 1,200 calories, but that was not enough. I was starving! So the next day, I upped it to 1,500 & that was much better!

As you can see, there were a couple nights when I slipped up. Dinner is always the hardest part. One night we went to Champs to watch the game which meant I ate horribly & then Saturday I worked 12 hours at a promotional event, so my diet was doomed then too. I just tried to do the best I could do for where I was & that seemed to work. I definitely feel a lot better when I'm eating well.

This week was also the week mother nature bestowed me with her kindness so I had chocolate on the brain constantly. The night we went to Champs, Drew told me no to dessert 2 different times. God love him, he's just trying to help & I was thankful the next day but I was not too happy that night.

I worked out 3 times this week, one time for an hour & a half. Working hard again feels really good & I definitely plan to get into the gym more this week.

The verdict is: I didn't lose any weight this week.

However, I also didn't gain. & I certainly could have if I hadn't been working so hard at not. This week was tough.

I plan to keep track of what I eat just the same way this week & work out more. Hopefully those 2 things coupled with not PMSing will cause the scale to move south. 

I do have some good things to share with you that I've learned this week though, so here we go: 

  • Ya gotta stick to water. Those little tiny apple juices I have? 120 calories per bottle & they're super tiny. Drinks add up fast & don't fill your belly. Stick to water.
  • If you're out to dinner, sub fries for fruit or vegetables. It's a good way to save a lot of calories.
  • Also, if you want a burger, get Bison Burger. At the Brewhouse I went to on Saturday, the Bison Burger was almost 300 calories less than the regular burger.
  • Start with a salad & dip your fork in the dressing instead of pouring it on top. It's a good way to get a little full before your food comes.
  • Workout with a friend! I'm telling you, I would not have worked out nearly as much this week if I wouldn't have had Jessie to do it with me.
Stay tuned for next week's addition, hopefully titled : AND THE SCALE MOVED SOUTH.
