AND…

sooooooooo the funniest thing about today…after dinner, i thought i had a 200 caloric allowance left for the day.  Not wanting to eat below 1,200 Kcals, I gladly measured out some almonds to munch on before my pre evening workout and gatorade for during and afterwards. Voila…1,200kcals.  However when i was adding everything up, my lunch was 100 more calories than I had calculated at lunch time. Oops.  What happened is that i made lunch with my boyfriend today.  We cooked the veggies for a philly sandwhich, so i just added up everything we put in the pan then divide it by 2 since i ate half of it…well, i also had a salad that i made for myself, and wrote everything down.  At the end of the meal is when i add all the calories, so instead of adding and dividing only the cooked veggies, I added the cooked veggies AND what i had in my salad and divided it…there was my oops.  So I thought i consumed 100 less calories than i actually did.  Thank God it was more.  So lesson learned…have a way of organizing the way you count calories, so things dont run into eachother and thus, everything stays accurate.

stay healthy and happy.
