Day Three

Day Three - July 20

Weight: 217.2

Breakfast

• 1 small slice raisin bread (71 calories, 1.2 grams fat, 1.5 grams sugar)
• 1 banana (105 calories, 0 grams fat, 14 grams (natural) sugar)

Lunch

So what do you do when someone offers you a free salad? The greedy part of me accepts without question. I could have said, no thanks, I have lunch already. I could have said, yeah sure, and eaten that instead of the lunch that I had already packed - which seemed like a waste. Instead, what I said was, sure, and ate part of that salad with the lunch that I had already packed. And I ate more calories. So...I don't know.

• Spinach salad with oil&vinegar dressing (130 calories, 0 grams fat, 1 gram sugar)
• 1 oz. shredded cheddar cheese (110 calories, 9 grams fat, 0 grams sugar)
• Croutons (60 calories, 2 grams fat, 0 grams sugar)
• Chips (120 calories, 3 grams fat, 2 grams sugar
• Canned peaches in water (60 calories, 0 grams fat, 12 grams (natural) sugar)
• About 1/3 of a CalTort salad (250 calories, 27 grams fat)

Snack/Dinner

• 1 Wendy's coffee toffee Frosty (540 calories, 20 grams fat, 71!!!!!!!!!!! grams sugar) No wonder I had a major sugar rush and then a crash 2 hours later...jeez!
• 1 slice French bread (92 calories, 0.6 grams fat, 0.8 grams sugar)

Late Night

• 2 slices of a large sausage pizza from Domino's (640 calories, 28 grams fat)

Exercise

700 calories on the elliptical

Total: 2178 calories, 90 grams fat, 100 grams sugar (ACK!)

Sooooo today wasn't the best as far as food goes....like at all. Heh. What started the downhill slide was the Frosty. I enjoyed it, yeah, and decided that it would be my dinner. Then came the sugar crash, and the fact that I was hungry again at 8:00, which is never good. Enter the pizza.

Some healthy alternatives to a Frosty, or ice cream in general:

• Frozen yogurt (similar texture, fewer calories)
• Sorbet (fewer calories, fruity flavor)
• Mousse (fewer calories and sugar)

So next time I'm on my way home and decide to stop somewhere for a snack, I'll go to Sheetz instead of Wendy's and pick up some froyo or mousse. I'm also bringing more for lunch, and I'm going to spread out my lunch break. I've noticed that I don't get hungry as often if I'm eating, say, one item from my lunch box every hour. For tomorrow I've packed a tuna sandwich, carrot sticks, apple slices, and some pretzels. Honestly, you can't get any more disgustingly healthy than that.
