All I want is a salad 
Great work on the workouts. I agree with getting more NEAT in instead. I used to discount the importance of it, but now I sees the light  I think it's awesome that you consider it in your day and work to get it higher. Very cool  Have a great weekend! Concentrate on the company instead of the food tonight! |

Oh... yesterday's food was BAD. Spoken too soon, guys...
So, started off ok, and I had to take DD to the mall for clothes she "needs" with her gf (yeah - two days in a row at the mall - good thing I like shopping!). After we were there about 2 hours, I start feeling really light-headed and hypo-glycemic. Haven't had this feeling for a while and it sucks. Prolly didn't eat enough since we had planned to get dinner out (like I needed that!). So I try to find something healthy - got some almonds (salted - bleh) at Starbux, but still didn't feel right. So went to Panera and had turkey-chickpea chili soup. Not so bad, but salty, and I also had a few too many bites of "samples" walking through the eatery (I tend do that when I start feeling bad).
Still didn't feel well, and I knew it was about letting the food catch up and stabilize the blood sugar... drove friend home, took DD to Applebees. Wasn't real hungry anymore, stomach was not feeling great (I'm sure the beans/chickpeas weren't helping!). Ordered the WW french onion soup (15g protein, only 150 kcal) and it was good but must've had 500% of my daily salt. Also had part of a dinner salad...
So headed off to the party with about 150 kcal left (?) Finally was feeling better. Ate fruit kabobs to be "good" (at least 150 kcal worth)... AND shrimp (also ok for me, about 100 kcal worth)... AND way too many bites of chip/dip (there were probably 6 or 7 different home-made dips people brought) AND a slice of rum-cake (oh that was goooooood).
So, I'm guessing I had between 500 - 1000 kcal over my budget???
BLURGH
With all the salt, I'm up so high on the scale it's not funny. I know it's salt, but it sucks and I am struggling to remind myself that all progress isn't really lost.
At least I didn't eat ALL the chips/dip I could've (and would've in the past) and I didn't touch the rumballs or the homemeade chocolate chip cookies and other desserts...
I wonder if I'd have done so badly if I felt better and/or if AF wasn't here.
