Breakfast Burgers??

Day 264,

My Husband cracks me up
Titan's Football tailgating is not the most figure friendly event. Today was no exception. 1800 calories per day adds up with the quickness. By the time, we left the stadium I had consumed exactly 50% of my calories for the day. Given that it was 4 pm, this is not so bad.

But, I was hungry when I got home. Decisions.... Decisions... Yummy Chocolate cake that I made last night at roughly 300 of the 900 calories I have left for the day or a can of Progresso Soup and an Apple at less than 200 calories? I chose the latter and I'm better off for it. Not only was this a more satisfying meal and a good calorie value, but it also contained about a 1/4 of the fat. I've had plenty of fat today.

It must be noted that I avoided the Fried chicken, oatmeal raisin cookies and jello shots that were available during today's tailgating festivities. I just kept thinking "If you eat it, you have to count the calories. Is it worth it?"

I'll be hungry again by 7 pm and that is fine. Tonight's dinner will be leftover chili from last night. My chili is delicious and made with 93% Extra Lean Ground Beef. This will still leave me with a few hundred calories to play with should I decide that popcorn is in order for the True Blood season finale tonight.

Good Way to end the week. I might even sneak in an evening walk for good measure.

Cheers!
Margaret
