Well it has been a long day! No work out since I had my internship all day. I kick started my morning with a slim fast shake made by the wonderful Teresa/my momma. I got to work and was hungry within....oh....14 minutes. So I immediately resorted to by 100 calorie pack unsalted almonds. Wonderful! For lunch, I went with two other interns to Camille's Sidewalk Cafe. It was my turn to order and I was freaking out. I had no clue what would be healthy; wraps are so deceiving! But don't you freak out-- I remembered my brilliant Ap with nutrition facts and found a salad that was ONLY 221 calories! Seriously! I only dipped a small amount of dressing on the tip of my fork for each bite. I left lunch feeling....you would think good, right? NO....STARVING!
All I wanted was to eat my back up almond pack that I put in my purse before work. But everyone would think-- she just ate and she's snacking?! So I stuck it out...like a champion.
Then I got back to work and still couldn't eat because everyone knew I just got back from lunch! Bad? It's about to get worst...
It was a girls birthday, so there was homemade strawberry cake and brownies. Usually sweets are my weakness, but at that point in my life, it was past that. I mean for the love of god, I was STARVING. Lettuce and fake grilled chicken for lunch; what was I thinking? So i agreed to a "sliver" (yes, I said sliver) of the strawberry cake. I inhaled it. At that point all bets were off and I ripped open my Almonds.
Still thought, it was a tiny piece. I was still feeling fine about myself.
So I come home to find my mom wanting to meet my dad at the Country Club. I don't know if you are a member at one, but REALLY, I have never been able to turn down the temptation of its salad bar. I know what you're thinking, salad bar? Yes. So unhealthy. Chicken salad, thick soups, fattening dressings... as if that weren't enough? Mexican Buffett! So I won't beat around the bush- here is what I ate. A CUP of bean soup (Hailey, I know your mouth is watering right now), pickled okra and artichoke hearts, shrimp and fish (pretty soaked in butter :/), chicken (covered in this corn cream stuff, but I got off as much as I could!), and veggies; probably saturated in butter also :/
So thats it. I don't feel that great about my day... but my teeth are looking pretty white after just two days (and hurting too!), tomorrow I will do better!
And in my defense- I didn't eat the tamales or enchiladas! I probably avoided like a few thousand calories!
Side note: I decided I want to learn French. I found a GREAT podcast called like Coffee Break French or something and I repeat it all the time....Teresa is about to kill me.
So on that note... au revoir
