Mamma Mia,Show Recs, Calorie Counting Question

I always forget about Real Simple and have been meaning to try Oxygen and Clean Eating for ideas and inspiration! Thanks for the recs – I definitely want to mix it up! Someone mentioned Samoas which totally reminded me that my girl scout cookies are going to be in soon. O. M. G. I’m going to have to get Austin to hide them from me. I know that sounds ludacris but sometimes I can’t be stopped!

So last night ended pleasantly with the vitamuffin + Mamma Mia! Today I just worked, had cheerios/milk for breakfast, had a snack of jalapeno crunchies, had chicken fried rice for lunch. Had every intention of going to the gym during my lunch break – even had my clothes on. But some shiz went down at work that upset me so I stayed home to wallow and feel sorry for myself, then got up, got ready and went to my sister’s house for the show! (had a few snacks, too – another vitamuffin and laughing cow + carr’s crackers). At Dev’s I had dinner that I brought, quinoa with garlic chicken, and a brownie of hers. Nom nom nom.

The show… so first it is SO nice to do mother/daughter nights. We don’t do enough as I feel we’re not taking full advantage of my mom now being in town so much more!

Some shots I found online of the actresses from what we saw - AMAZING!

They were SO cute - I loved her voice - she sounded like a Disney character

We loved this little guy - SO funny and such a great little acrobat!

The show was really just absolutely amazing. I couldn't believe how simple the set was - the actors MADE the show and did a wonderful job doing it. It was so smooth and well acted - like the characters had been playing the parts for years. It was a great cast and so fun to feel like a part of it. We were only, maybe, 20 rows from the stage? Great seats, great performance and I'd go back in a heartbeat. I told Austin since we don't go out to eat we should definitely take in show. I likes to be entertained!

Do you like to see shows? What's your favorite play or musical?

Off Topic Question – I’m going to really look at my weights vs. calorie intake this month. Do you think I should count the calories I eat as my calories for the day, or my net after physical activity? (like I ate 1,700; but HRM said I burned 300 walking 6 miles - so I do go with the 1,700 or the 1,400?) Any thoughts on this would be most helpful!

Thanks fabulous friends - HAPPY FRIDAY! I hope you all have glorious weekends. It's snowing in ATL so I got to leave work at 2 p.m. - WOO!
