The GOOD hamburger experience!!!
Nov 06 2009 09:08

Okay, I have been on this GREAT and powerful path since July 8, 2009 and I have reduced my weight by 28.2 pounds. YAAAAAAY!

So, the other night I arrived in town and suggested to the man in my life, that we eat a GOOD hamburger (I think that a $6 burger, such as a Jalapeno-burger is a GOOD burger)!  So, a Jalapeno burger it was.  And it was delicious.  I think that it was, like, 740 calories!!!!  (My man had a guacamole/bacon burger, which by itself has 1040 calories, WITHout the fries!)   BUT...I had left room for that in my calorie count for the day.  How cool is that?  (I mean being conscious.)

The point of this entry is that sometimes we splurge... and that is alright.  Life is like that!  That we have control of our calorie intake, that is the point.  Prior to July 8 (and prior to knowing of Calorie Count), I would have had that burger PLUS a full days calories and thought nothing of it. 

The next night we had a great salad, BBQ'd salmon, whole grain bread and a slice of pumpkin pie for dessert.  Mmmmm... and I thought, how much more satisfying all of that food was that still didn't equal the calories of the GOOD burger.  ;-)

So, rock on!  Life is for learning and this calorie counting can be fun and very powerful!
