Ok so I ended up at happy hour yesterday. I had a good breakfast, a clif bar for lunch, a crunchy sandwich (lettuce and turkey only) for dinner. I was about to open a container of yogurt when I got the text invite. I pondered, I thought - well I could go walk and then go to the bar. NOPE, I was out the door in a heartbeat to the bar. I had consumed about 600 calories, the yogurt would have made 700 TOTAL for the day - it would have been good.
I went, I drank, I ate fried mozzarella sticks. I just input that to FP - 779 calories at the bar between 12 oz of diet coke, lots of spiced rum, and the stupid cheese sticks. I double my calories for the day and it was all a waste (literally, wasted....). I did have fun and got to laugh and party it up, listen to some good music. I order 3 shots of Captain Morgan straight and sip it out of a lowball glass while I sip on a can of diet coke in the other. I ended up getting 3 rounds of rum for a total of 9 shots... oopsies.
Total calories for the day was 1383 - half of which were fried food and booze. UGGH. I drank water all day like a champ though and of course guzzled it when I got home and again this morning. I probably had at least 13 glasses yesterday. Yesterday's exercise only ended up being my 20 minutes of walking at work, better than nothing? Ok that's a sad excuse that I need to give up.
I worry about you consuming less than at least 1200 calories per day :( It may send your body into "I'm starving hold onto this fat as long as possible" mode. Be careful!
ReplyDeleteI agree wiht Rae Rae J you have to eat more than 700 calories a day. I have my fitness pal on my -phone and it tells me how many calories I should have to lose weight. I wish you luck. You have to get in that mind set I need to do this for myself! I have lost weight before (108lbs) and gained a lot back. Now I am finally back in that mindset I have to lose this for me! I'm here for you!

ReplyDeleteYeah it's weird to be under, but with being so hot and watching what I eat I've had a lot of 800-900 days. 1200-1400 is my goal though, but I want them to be healthy. It's so humid and miserable, the lettuce and turkey rollup is good enough and I move on. Funny how I used to do 3,000 in a day without blinking.... uggh!
ReplyDeleteI get that, girl! :) Just a little worried about you, but that makes total sense. I just know under 1200 can keep the weight on, and then you are left like *pulling hair out!* .. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThat's where I get suckered into it - when alcohol calls! At least you stayed under 1400, recognized that half of that was not great stuff, and can move on. Like you said - before you could eat 3,000 calories and not blink an eye!
