Yeah, so bustero isn't really the Spanish translation for busting but...I'm an ugly American. Get over it.
Anyhoo...
Today I thought I did poorly but turns out I wasn't THAT bad. Well, relatively speaking.
I had my cheerios and almond milk for breakfast but then...dun, dun, duuuuuuun...Around 9:30 this morning my friends were all, "Let's go get coffee. I neeeeed the coffee." And of course they didn't mean the $2.13 cup o' plain Joe. Nooooo. They wanted to go to Starbucks which is in the food court which also houses Chick-fil-A. Short story shorter, I ate a chicken biscuit and washed it down with a sweet tea. Granted, I skipped the hash rounds and got the small tea, but still. I caved.
Dag-gummit all to heck!
I was kinda sorta mentally beating myself up about it so when I got back to the office I got on Chick's website and looked up the nutrition info. 450 calories, 21g of fat, 30mg cholesterol. Ugh. 90 calories on the sweet tea. *sigh*
But then I got a wild hair and looked up the nutritional value on all the other things I'd be eating today (and my cheerios with almond milk) and calorie-wise, I'm good. If I stick to the plan I'll come in at 1250 calories for the day. The only REALLY bad part about the biscuit fiasco is the fat grams and amount of cholesterol in it. But even that, since the rest of the things I'm eating today are so healthy, it won't hurt tooooo much.
Plus, I still did my daily walk (as well as walked to and from the food court) so...yeah. I'm calling it good. I just wish I'd been more intentional about it and not simply caved at the last second just because it was nearby. I hate that weakness. I want to DECIDE when to cheat. Not just cheat because I failed to decide not to! (I know that hardly makes any sense but maybe you know what I mean.)
Lunch was my sandwich/apple combo aka "the usual".
As for my walk, I walked .85 miles today in a little over 15 minutes. So. Minimal improvement and I'll take it. I had company for today's walk and thankfully I was brave enough to speak up about the route I wanted to take and the pace I needed and my friend was kind enough to say, "You lead and I'll follow". So that was nice.
Who knew that speaking up and asking for what you needed actually worked? Weird. Haha
Supper tonight will be half of a Totinos Canadian Bacon pizza and water. And yes, before anyone fusses, I did check the nutrition label and it fits calorie/fat/cholesterol-wise within my current perimeters.
One thing I do need to let ya'll in on that I failed to report in my daily food logs is the fact that I do still have a sweet treat after supper. Two nights this week it was a half a cup of ice cream with a splash of Kalhua and three nights it was a fun sized kit-kat bar. Well, three nights including tonight since the ice cream is officially gone. The fun sized Ki-kat bar is 60 calories and half a cup of the ice cream I had is 100 calories. So yeah. still fits the current perimeters.
I didn't knock out the sweet treat at the end of the day because I know myself well enough to know that I will revolt like an English colonist if I tell myself no to everything that keeps me happy. I've already given up Coke and potato chips. Giving up sugar altogether? I'd be a miserable bitch.
It's all in the portions, baby. And that's what I'm really having to learn. Portions.
And yeah. How NOT to cave when a chicken biscuit is 10ft away. haha
