Yesterday at work flew by! Despite the fact I was a bit low on my usual eight hours of sleep, I powered through the day getting lots of work done and walking 6.5 miles (during lunch and after work BOTH with Stacy, my co-worker who just bought a food scale and is ready to start working on weight loss – fun!!). After my second walk I raced home, hopped in the shower, and got ready to go to Lola in Buckhead for dinner with Stacy and her BF Shane and Melissa and her husband Jon. I had my FAVORITE appetizer, caprese salad, and then I ordered a thin-crust mushroom pizza which I might have had half of? Fab pizza though. I also had 2 beers – would have had more but the guys decided to take shots so I had to start drinking the water so I could drive the train home! Instead of driving us home, I dropped Austin off at a local neighborhood bar with Jon then headed home and passed out! I ended up at 2,208 calories, 268 carbs, 67 fat grams and 87 protein grams. I wish it had been lower, especially since I only had 2 beers, but the dinner hurt as did the snickers… all 4 of those baby bundles of deliciousness. Oh well – at least I did my cardio, right? And… it’s Friday!! Here’s what I ate.
We ate at the table on the right outside! Next door was a Yogurberry and these peeps had set up a flatscreen and were just doing Dance Dance Revolution to MJ.... like all night.... so rando!
Here's us walking over to the valet - I love this little area. When we lived over here a mere 3 months ago this was just being finished - I think they did a nice job!
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my 1,000 mile goal and am just so thrilled because I set it on a whimsy while reading running blogs and just hoped that one could do it while walking 15 minute-miles. Austin even calculated and told me that if I could it, it would take me 15,000 minutes… or 250 hours… or 10.5 DAYS. That’s kinda cool. Anyway, I had a dream last night where I was in Troop Beverly Hills (a childhood fave). 
It was that scene where the girls gathered together to announce how many cookies they’ve sold. When it was Beverly Hill’s turn they were like we didn’t sell 1,000 boxes. And Vedla Plendor was like, “of course, I knew you wouldn’t.” And Phyllis Nefler’s like, “we sold 4,904 boxes!” Same deal – except I was announcing my goal and Velda was all whatevs – knew you couldn’t do it – but I exceeded it! Now I’m like sweet – thanks to this deep, philosophical dream featuring Shelley Long I will meet and possibly exceed my goals fo sho!
Anywho… I’m feeling a little down on my calories. I just feel like I’m having SO MANY high days and I worry I won’t get to/maintain my goal weight if I keep up all of the snacking and pasta-eating. Boo. I’ve got to get back on it – can’t wait for the HRM to come in- I think it’s really going to help me out. Sometimes I wonder, am I going to count calories forever? While I envy the girls out there who rely on intuitive eating, I know I can’t be trusted! But at the same time… how long am I going to do this? I’m coming up on a year of tracking every single day and it’s not like it’s time consuming, I just wonder if this is the way it’s going to be. Anyway, I’m rambling. Hope you’re all having fabulous weekends!
