Calories

I think I am doing all good by eating more fruits and I use myfitness pal to track my calories. Well you can imagine I felt a little hurt when I saw the pear was 100 calories. My mind doesn’t wrap around it to well because all I could think of was Special K cheddar cracker chips for 27 is 110 calories! I mean I see why we struggle with making the right choices because not only do we have to deal with calories and such but we have to deal with satisfying our hunger, taste buds, and wallets. If I go to McDonalds and buy a salad it is like almost what $6 versus if I buy a double cheeseburger, small fry, and any size fountain drink it will cost $3.24. Yes I know the most appropriate thing is to stay away from McDonald’s altogether but sometimes that lunch doesn’t get made or your lunch is for errands and you have to have something on the go. I guess a little frustrated today because it is almost 11am and I am STARVING!! It maybe because I only had cereal at 8:30am and I was upset that I didn’t have eggs, bread, to make a decent breakfast. Here is a tip don’t wait so long between meals if you can help it because then you want to eat everything in sight!! Right now I want to eat my lunch but I keep thinking I am supposed to be here till 6:30 tonight and if I eat lunch now I will be done for the rest of the day. I will be hungry again probably around 2.

I couldn’t take it anymore I went to the café at work and got an English muffin (120 calories- err I should have had just bread), a banana (medium banana 105 calories) add a little whipped spread and strawberry jam (39 & 35 calories respectively). I am thinking of getting Zumba for my kinect but I already have my dance games and I haven’t played in months, when I get home I am just worn out and I want to complete my homework and sleep.

One of my friends in my FB group shared this site to help you track your Zumba calories burned if you don’t know how to track it:http://www.zumbacalories.com/

I tell you what that I was feeling a bit down about my calorie intake today and I feel like I haven’t really eaten. My mom says I need to remember that it will take at least 2 weeks for my body to adjust. Right now as of lunch I have eaten 1216 calories. I am allotted 1540 in calories so I only have 324 calories left for the day. My break down was breakfast was 203 calories (not bad right but I was so hungry about 2.5hrs later) so I had a before lunch type meal which was 299 calories (it’s that muffin fiasco I mentioned earlier). Now before that I had special K cheddar chips so that was 110 calories. My after lunch snack was a fig bar. I am thinking that I need to have what I had for lunch for Dinner to keep the calories down, but no salad just the meat & the bread. I had the salad, the meat, the bread then I will be over since lunch was 390 calories and I only have 324 left.

Well I made it!! I did just that I had the chicken, half avocado and the flatout bread, which I might add taste pretty darn good! I stopped at the store and got stuff to make for breakfast. I am going to be full in the morning and lunch and keep it light like a protein shake for dinner. I have left over pork chop I need to eat so why I have to keep it light for dinner since breakfast and lunch will take up my calories.  Speaking of calories I did buy the Zumba Rush and I tell you I worked out for 45 minutes and it was good and the calculator said that was 785 calories!! Oh yea!!  Now as for that water intake I am sitting at 4 cups. I may down another one but I doubt it.
