New Year, New Me (Not another New Year Resolution)

Well, I got my New Year, New Me off to a bang this morning. I woke up almost an hour late, did have anything prepped at home to eat for breakfast, so I had to settle for a supreme omelette with sausage and cheese on a wheat bagel and a medium coffee from DD. Anyone know the calorie count in one of those??? Yeah, it's disturbing, I got mine on a wheat bagel, so I'm probably saving 3 cals, LOL!!!

So, 530 Cals, and half of my total fat and sodium for one day and damn near ALL of my cholesterol (255 mg/86%) for the day!!! I'll be eating a bit less of these in the future. About 70 cals from the coffee for a total of 600 Cals for breakfast. Doesn't leave me with much options for lunch. Thankfully, my dinner is only about 460 Cals and I'm only gonna have a glass of water with that. That leaves me with 940 cals for the rest of the day to make an even 2K cal day. Now, I have said in the past I dispise counting, but I'm gonna give it another try. I know with the snacks and recipes I have now, I should be able to stay full all day on 2K or less. I wanna see what I really take in in a day.

It's a good thing I am going to the gym tonight! LOL!!!!

I've been doing FBWs since I started the gym, but I'm gonna up mine a little. I usually start with 20-30 mins of cardio than work from my feet to my head and leave. I'm going to up it to 45 mins cardio (if time allows) than my FBW:

Calf raises, Squats, hip ab/adduction, several different core exercises for abs and lower back, Bench, lats, traps, delts, bi/tris/forearms and (again, if time allows) a short walk on the treadmill, 15-20 mins.

I must say, I am really reluctant to eat this sammich now that I know how much $#!7 is in it.

Well, I've got to eat something this morning. Time for sort out what's for lunch. :eek2:
 
Wow do the calories add up quickly. This is why I don't count them. You fill out your 2K in no time and than are left hungry for the rest of the day. I'm at 910 after my aforementioned breakfast plus 1/2 wheat bagel with 3/4 oz PB and ONE white chocolate covered cashew cluster (130 cals). I treated myself even knowing how big it was, but DAMN. I've got about 7 hours before I go to the gym and roughly 9 before I got to bed and my max for the next 9 hours is 1090 cals? My dinner is about 460 so that drops me to 630 and I have nothing packed for lunch. I'm probably gonna have to get a chix cheese steak for the cafe here, if they didn't jack up the prices too high on me. I won't be able to count the cals on that tho. Damn it. I gotta get to the store and buy real food and start brown baggin it again!
 
yeah...grocery store would be a good option.
It's amazing how many calories are crammed into the smallest freakin sandwich.
Good luck, and have fun at the gym.
 
Well, I managed to stay under 2K cals before going to the gym. After I got home, I was a bit hungry. I don't know an exact number, but my estimate is about 2400 cals yesterday. Fortunately, I get paid tomorrow, I'm ashamed to say, I only have $25 in the bank. Got too caught up in Christmas shopping and forgot about groceries. :(

I'll be heading to Costco, that's for sure!!! LOL!!!

Skipping the gym tonight and doing solely cardio tomorrow. I managed to get my sorry behind out of bed at 6:15 this morning. Now, I've got to make it 15 minutes eariler so I can cook up some eggs or something. All in all, progress is had.

Time for breakfast. Oatmeal and a second cup of coffee. I'm not gonna count calories today, but I'm gonna be more aware of the amount I am taking in after yesterdays experiment. Fun, fun, fun!!!
