Shelley: Day 27

Sorry about missing yesterday. Jason's parents were in town and we didn't part until it was pretty late and I decided it was best to crash because I knew today would be another big day. Because we were so busy I consumed only 930cal yesterday. Not good. That's no way to keep one's metabolism rolling. It's definitely much healthier to consume between 1200-1500cal/day. The last thing I need is to signal to my body that I'm going into a famine and it needs to cling to every calorie possible.

Today we went to the park for some serious fun. We went to Thaimen Park which actually has a playground that is exactly perfect for Will. He had so much fun. Afterwards, we stopped by Prolific Oven for Samies. I will admit now we all shared a piece of their AMAZING Chocolate Rum cake. I made sure to eat slowly and I only ate the part I love most, FROSTING!!! Before I knew it, everyone else had finished it so I wasn't tempted to eat more than is reasonable.

For dinner we headed to Panera and then walked over to the grocery store. All in all, a very productive and fun day. Pam and Dave, so glad you could come!!!! Will loved every moment and so did we!

Today's Food Summary:

Breakfast:

2oz of Fresh Low-Fat Mozerella Cheese (120cal)

1Tbsp of Balsamic Vinigar (10cal)

1 small tomato (30cal)

Snack:

We ate breakfast kind of late so we headed to lunch.

Lunch:

Prolific Garden Sami, sooo good (590cal)

A few bites of the pasta salad that came on the side (200cal)

A couple of bites of cake with frosting (300cal), I know this seems high, but I'd rather guess high than low.

Snack:

I was so full from lunch I skipped this too.

Dinner:

My usual from Panera, Soup and Salad (350cal)

Watermelon (45cal)

Snack:

No Pinkberry tonight. Too much yummy food today meant I needed to let this one go for tonight!

BMR CALC: 1691-1845=-154 Surplus (I added 200cal for misc snitches of my little guy's food.)

(For an explanation please see Shelley: Day 1 Post) Also, I updated my BMR from 1760 to 1691. As I lose weight that number will continue to fall.

I didn't get much walking in today since we mostly bummed around the park but I'm going to try and talk Jason into a family walk tomorrow! I'm feeling pretty good that I didn't totally blow it considering I had family in town so I'm just going to let this one go and not flog myself. I have a very good day planned for tomorrow and I'm sticking to it!

Until tomorrow. . .
