Just one of those days...>.>

It has been just one of those days. I woke up LATE because I stayed up too late the night before. I had my usual protein nutrition drink /w skim milk for breakfast-- 130 calories and lots of vitamins and minerals, plus it tastes like real chocolate milk so it put me in a better mood.

Then I did some other stuff..meetings etc. And I had one of those m&m cookies because I was at an event and they were everywhere and I was hungry. It wasn't a mini one, but it wasn't one of those jumbo ones either-- just a normal sized commercial type cookie that I estimate at 160 calories. And I did some other meetings.

Well, then I was just starving. Suddenly. Usually I never allow myself to get this way but I was stuck at this event with nothing but cookies surrounding me! So I held out and left when I could, but it was then dinner time and I had nothing to make. --;

I looked around.. I didn't want to eat a dinner made from just a bunch of snacky foods. That's no fun. I didn't want plain rice or oatmeal either. =/ Then I realized that I had only eaten about 290 calories today. I'm still really tired from last night, so I realized that I was only going to have 1 or 2 more meals and my calorie target is 1500. Soooo...

I ordered chinese. hot and sour soup + general tso's chicken. I know, right?

Well I ate most of the soup (still have some left) and all of the greasy fatty lard-covered noodle chips they give you with it... plus 2 packets of duck sauce. And THEN I had like 3 pieces of the chicken. I'm really stuffed. I still have a bunch of deep fried chicken covered in sugar sauce left though...

I don't really know how many calories I'm at. >< I'm tired. And cranky. Yikes.

I hate being stuck with poor food choices at a conference or meeting.  Now I always keep a Luna bar in my purse or pocket.  They taste pretty good with 180 calories and 10 grams of protein it tides me over and then I don't make 'God I'm starving"  food decisions.

I know and usually I do but I was not being wise when I left this morning. =) Thanks.

ohhhh man, HATE it when i don't know how many calories i've eaten. Its like... "well that was a wasted day of dieting"

Tomorrow will be better.
