This morning I woke up earlier than usual and was starving! I grabbed an individual box of Froot Loops (100 calories) and inhaled them. Though still feeling empty, I went on with my morning... watching the usual TV shows and playing with Heinz.
Jason and his friends came over for lunch. Jason ate the rest of the honey mustard chicken from last night's dinner, while I waited around to go eat lunch with Laura and a few of her friends (other AF wives... none that I knew). My hunger was really starting to get to me around 11:30, but we weren't meeting until 12:30, so I decided to grab a slice of bread for a snack. Not bad... not that filling either though.
I met Laura, 4 other ladies, and a baby at El Rancho for a little Mexican lunch. Before going, I did my homework: I checked out Dottie's Wight Loss Zone: Mexican & Spanish Foods section. It has general calorie suggestions for the typical Mexican menus. Also, I talked with Josh (an AF lunch buddy) and he gave me some ideas of what I could eat. I decided no more than 5 chips (which I stuck to) with salsa and two soft chicken tacos. The website suggested that chicken at Mexican restaurants is a lot better for you than the ground beef. I ordered and was proud of myself... until my order came. I received 2 hard beef tacos. I was with a bunch of girls I didn't know so I didn't want to be tacky and send it all back. Oh well... I tried. Instead, I crunched up the tacos, poured some salsa on it, and made my own little taco salad. Not going to lie... it tasted great!
Laura and I hightailed it to the gym after that meal! Being bored with the elliptical machines, I suggested walking on the treadmill. So after about 35 minutes, I burned 208 calories. I could do the same amount with about 10 minutes less on the elliptical, but I needed a break. If only I knew how many calories my tacos were... I might have stayed on another 30 minutes!
Before deciding what to do dinner for dinner, Jason and I decided to hit the tennis court. We played for 37 minutes. Jason won 7-3. That's okay, I still won be I burned 257 calories! While playing tennis, we decided what's for dinner tonight - hot dogs and smores!! I've been wanting to camp out, but Jason said we have to practice in the backyard first (he doesn't think I'll make it all night in the cold). So, as I'm finishing up my post for the day, Jason has already put the tent up and has the grill going. He's going to take the grate off the grill so we can cook the hot dogs and make the smores. Should be an fun / interesting night!! We bought the 98% free hot dogs (only 40 calories each) and whitewheat buns (90 calories). For the smores, we bought dark chocolate bars (180 calories... less than milk chocolate), cheap post-Halloween marshmallows (14 pieces are 100 calories), and graham crackers (not sure the calories). So, hopefully this will work out. I'm going to leave my summary blank for now, and I'll update in the morning.
UPDATE: Camping was ... interesting ... Jason and I attempted to make hot dogs over the grill, and it kinda worked. The smores worked much better though! We went to bed in the tent around 10:00, and by 2:00 I was going inside. My body hurt so bad... didn't know the ground was going to be so uncomfortable!! Oh well... maybe we'll try again sometime.
