Uh oh......

Ok, so I have been doing pretty well and staying away from sweets and keeping the calories below 1500. And walking a couple of miles, though today I haven't because one walking buddy is off and I didn't feel like walking down by myself to the track to meet the other. (Not to mention it is raining a bit.) But I am going to get on the treadmill when I get home and make up for it, as much fun as that sounds. Not. lol

However, food-wise today hasn't been my best.......this morning when the barista made my drink she put whipped cream on it, because after all, it IS Friday and she thought I needed it.  (To be fair, before I went on this diet, they were all kind of used to putting whipped cream on my drink on Fridays and she figured this was no different.) And, well, whipped cream....I couldn't be rude and tell her to take it off. And when I got outside I couldn't just very well pop off the lid and scoop it off.....without making a mess anyway and I didn't want to do that.  So of course I ate it. And of course had to count that extra 100 calories into my calorie count, along with my oatmeal and actual drink. 

Then along comes lunch time.  I brought a Lean Cuisine, a banana, and a tangerine with me this morning, with the intention of the LC for lunch, and then if I got hungry in the afternoon the fruit would be a good healthy snack (though honestly I meant to have the banana with my oatmeal and then didn't after the whipped cream).  So I had my LC for lunch, and it was pretty good,  except that whenever I eat one of those things, for some reason I crave sweets after them.  And I don't mean sweet fruit, either.  I mean like the chocolate I keep in a jar on my desk for the Marines here.  Normally I am not even tempted by it so it is usually not a problem.  But after that LC,  I kept hearing the miniature Hershey bars calling my name, and, well, I ate 5 of them.  ***hangs head in shame***  So there's an extra 210 calories I hadn't counted on for today. 

And that makes my entire calorie count at 1170, and which doesn't leave much in the way of dinner, though dinner is supposed to be salmon, baked sweet potato, and broccoli. 3 oz of salmon has 127 calories and a baked sweet potato has about 100, and a spear of broccoli only has 13, so I guess I'll be good to go, but I also realize those extra calories I had today were not what one would call healthy.  At least I won't go over 1500 calories, and I will hopefully work off a couple of hundred on the treadmill, so all is not lost. 

I guess I need to break it to the barista no more whipped cream Fridays.  ***sigh***
