how did last night go? well…. and This mornin i made a fresh fruit smoothie at work!
welp…when i went to my second job yesterday i had already consumed a little over 1400 cals…i did not eat a thing while i was there but i brought home two soups…beef barley and broccoli cheddar and neither one of those were the healthy choice…yesterday we had ginger butternut squash soup and a vegetarian spicy black bean chili that would have been healthier for me and a lemon lentil yummm….but…of course i picked the two i really wanted to eat and brought them home and ate them….then i had a sandwich with just 2 slices of cheese on it…geesh…ya real healthy arli and then for a snack i had some fried peanuts that you can eat shell and all….they were deliciousness….grrrr….but its better than my snacking from the other night…id say each soup had 300 cals in it…so theres my 2000 cals i was trying to stay under…then my cheese sandwich was 280 cals and fried peanuts probably 200….so i went 480 over my goal….argh!!!! see i should have never eaten that 500 calorie wrap…im so mad at myself for that…but yet proud that i didnt go too overboard because lets face it i was eating 1000 calorie or more meals before…when i took my little break…and was probably consuming about 5000 cals per day with snack and sodas! and candies!
so anyways…..this morning i was supposed to take a shower before work but i was wayyyyy too tired after my 13 hours of work yesterday…so i am just gonna be stinky today….i got to work and made a smoothie with my own fruit and just a touch of the store’s banana smoothie mix….just like 3 oz. to make it smooth….so it consisted of 3 oz. banana smoothie mix, 1 banana, and 8 strawberries and bunches of ice…it was sooo good and just under 200 calories and it was big! like 18 oz. so thats awesome! and it has made my tummy happy because its not begging me for more food…cooool!!

wow you work a lot! Good luck on trying to stay under 2000 calories for today!
13 hour days? Girl, I don’t know how you manage it - I have to give you a standing ovation for that one.
The soup sounds yummy even if it’s not the healthiest. At least you tried yesterday.
So today I hope you make it through and meet all your goals. Have a great weekend buddy.
