1, super bad for you, but luckily tiny, shitty vanilla gas station capucino - prolly 400. ef.
so i've been thinking a lot about the math of it all. ever since realizing how many calories i eat/drink per week.
to make up for the weekend(s) i would have to eat/drink like 300 calories a day monday thru thurs. maybe that should be my new plan... 'cause like weight watchers says (and i'm paraphrasing 'cause i've never done weight watchers and this is all inference) you can eat whatever you want, whenever you want as long as it adds up to around 8400 for the week.
i'd say i'm usually around that many for the weekdays and then another 8000 on the weekend. ugh.
so what would the math be? well, first of all, i have to eat/drink less than 8000 on the weekends. if i stick to 800 per day during the week, what does that leave me? i would still have to stick to 1700-1800-ish per day on the weekend. wow. unrealistic. i DRINK that many calories per day sometimes.
ok, so like i said earlier, if i could stick to a LOWER number than 800 during the week, then the weekends would be more realistic. lets try 500 (an apple, 1/2 a granola bar, a yogurt, some veggies with 1/4 cup rice, and just water per day).
500 x 4 = 2000 weekdays
8400 - 2000 = 6400 left over for the weekend
6400 / 3 = 2133.3333333, etc. per weekend day
that's doable. if i can stick to 500 per day during the week. that will be REALLY tough. not so much for breakfast and lunch, but dinner - especially if nick makes it - is NOT going to be 200 calories...
AND if my calculations are correct on that damn capucino, i only have 100 calories left for the whole day.
2 oz-ish grilled chicken - 100
1/2 pita bread - 100
ok, so i was dying. i had to have a couple pieces of chicken and a piece of pita from yesterday's lunch left over salad. i'm definitely over 500 now.
i know i need to eat tonight though 'cause otherwise (they experts say) my metabolism will slow down. i should probably work out tonight. then i can eat how ever many calories i burn. if i "box" for 20 minutes, i think that's like 100 calories... it sounds like a great idea now, but by the time i get home i'll have no energy or motivation left. that's how it always happens. nick's going to bikram today. i should be too. gr. gr says me, to me.
potato soup - 400?
dinner roll - 200?
open faced turkey with potatoes and veggies - 800?
i scraped most of the gravy off and didn't eat the bread... that's good at least.
then the day went to complete and total shit... we're still getting nowhere with the offers on the house we want, my review at work was terrible and NICK LOST HIS WEDDING RING in the snow. i pretty much felt like crying all day.
as a "treat" we got our "cheap" version of eating out: Tim Hortons with Cold Stone. such a bad idea metabolically and financially. ef. BAD GODDAMN DAY.
turkey club - 370 (400 in my mind)
chicken noodle soup - 110
diet coke - 0
coffee ice cream with chocolate shavings - 170 (200)
yeah, i guess it actually DID make me feel a little better. :( still really sad.
2700 total-ish. bad day. bad, bad day.
