Step Daddy's B-day
Nov 07 2009 21:55

Today was my stepfather's birthday.  He's 62 now (such an old fart :P).  It's supposed to be a happy occasion but it's far from that for me for 2 reasons:

1.  I hate my stepfather and he hates me

2.  Someone's birthday means cake and ice cream

Yea, we hate each other.  He's practically the whole reason I'm in therapy (...well not the whole reason).  His birthday just means a day where me and him have to fake the whole "happy family" thing for the rest of the family that comes over for the celebration (more like a tragedy to me).  It also means homemade cake and ice cream.  This year he decided he wanted boston cream pie.

I hate boston cream pie.

Honestly, I do.  I dont really like anything with a custard.  But i was forced by mother yet again, to force a piece down to show that I was a part of the festivities and because after I ate my dinner I had only had about 600 cals for the day.  I ate a small piece, only 1/16 of the entire cake, but it still weighed in at about 260 calories.  ugh.  We also had homemade vanilla gelato on the side which I literally only had 2 tablespoons (if that much) of.

I modified my dinner as well.  Their dinner was meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and corn.  I instead had 70 grams of tilapia filet, 148 grams of boiled potatoes with a tablespoon of country crock light butter, and 113 grams of corn.  I was pretty proud of myself.

I also worked out after a long day at work.  Being a cashier is harder work than you'd think, especially on a crowded day like today.

I find I have a sweet tooth after working out, which a protein shake seems to satisfy.  It tastes really sweet, but it's actually low on sugar.  Has a nice B+ grade on calorie count too.  And really helps me out in the protein department.  Without it, I average at about 25 grams of protein which really isnt enough.  It also brings my calories up to at least 1200 by the end of the day.  I'm really glad I've added them to my diet.

All in all, a decent day.  Not the greastest, but not too bad either, right?
