Friday-Crap food, trying not to eat too much.

Breakfast:
1/2 cup Macadamia Nuts, Fiber one yogurt, small bananana... 2 small fun sized packets of M&M's... real fat ass breakfast. Ugh
Total Calories: 716 EEEEEEEEEEEEEEpppppppp

Lunch:

Grilled cheese sandwich: 2 slices diet bread, 2 slices fat free cheese, grilled on non stick pan with 5 sprays of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" zero calorie spray. 4 cups raw leafy green salad, 3 tablespoons fat free Italian dressing, large raw orange
Total Calories: 320

*NEWSFLASH* It ISN'T BUTTER... AND I BELIEVE IT IS NOT.
But, it suits the purpose. I'm not really a big butter fan anyhoo... so it's all good to me.



Snack:
100 calorie Mini Bag popcorn, small cheese rectangle-spicy jalapeno thingy. Comes prepackaged for portion control. Really yummers.
190 cals

Dinner:
Lean Cuisine Deluxe Pizza, 4 cups raw leafy green salad, 3 tablespoons fat free Italian dressing
Total cals: 410

Extra: Gum-30 cals, Crystal Light: 15 calories

I have a hankering for the Petite Vanilla Bean Mini Scone from Starbucks, and a large Iced Cafe Americano with Chocolate and Vanilla Powder, and 6-7 Splenda. That will be 180 cals extra. I may or may not go for it. That would bring my total cals to 1,861.... do I do it, or not? I am aknowledging that I want to go for the damn coffee and small scone... I prefer to keep my calories low... but this is real life here. I can't be in diet mentality forever. And I have to face the fact that I want it, without lying or hiding it from myself.
I will go for the damn coffee and scone, and will enjoy it slowly.
And I will do my usual workout routine-30-45 minutes on the treadmill with some light weights. Maybe I will do extra cardio if I feel up to it.
We shall see.

Ciao for now. I will post again Monday, or Sooner if the BF isn't around. He gets pissy when I am online. eep

Total Cals: 1681-1861 (If I get coffee and scone)
