First off LET me tell you all about how I almost died at the gym last night. 9.1 Inclines. That’s how. It was killer but I made it through! 300 calories burned in 35 minutes. My apple watch committed a hate crime when it failed to calculate a single step during that time. Apparently I cannot hold on to the heart rate monitors or it will not count my steps. Since I use the fat burn program the treadmill requires my heart rate or it slows me down/lowers my incline automatically. Thus the title of today’s blog- as I’m truly wearing my apple watches on my right ankle. Since my orientation is left wrist… I probably should have switched it to right wrist (after several hours I now think of this). I will say it was quite annoying that every single time I had a phone call my ankle vibrated. This is more than likely the highlight of my day.

Oh for the record- this is Wednesday and you’ll be reading it on Thursday 😉

Don’t get too excited, it’s a semi boring food day in my land.

2pt Breakfast, 123 calories

Oh wait! I tried the Weight Watchers Cinnalicious Swirls today! This is one of those gifted snacks. I swear I’ve tasted these somewhere previously. I just can’t recall who made them. Nevertheless- I’d eat these in almond milk like cereal if you miss it! Only 2 pts for the bag (17g) and if you use ¼ c of almond milk it’s 0 pts. I didn’t- but I would.

Red Seedless Grapes, Mandarin Oranges, Strawberries rounded out my breakfast as well.

Why is my stomach growling at 11:45? This is a problem I’ve not had ever. I typically eat anywhere between 12-1pm. I normally do not hear this noise before 12:30. Could this be due to my crazy workout last night?

8pt Lunch, 337 calories

Wrap: You can see yesterday, 1.5 blackened Popeye’s chicken tenders, 1 wedge Laughing Cow pepperjack cheese, 2 slices Boar’s Head fully cooked bacon, 1/8 cup (but not really) Trader Joe’s Lite Mexican Cheese in a Ole Mexican Food Xtreme Wellness Wrap: 257 calories 6pt

Nacho Cheese Supreme 80 calories 2pt

It’s 2:30 pm and that growling noise happened AGAIN. Now- I skipped my second round of coffee and I bet that’s why this snack attack is early.

3pt Work

Snack, 100 calories: Skinny Pop Ultra Lite White Cheddar Popcorn individual bag

You may be wondering- Kelly why are you counting calories in blog #3? Well this is something my sister started. There was a fear that her lack of loss was being caused by caloric starvation mode. I saw a chance to play with data and it excited me (Hi I mentioned I was in IT right? I am in fact a nerd.)

Based on my weight and my first goal MyFitnessPal.com determined I should be eating 1750 calories a day to meet my goal. As of right now I’ve used 560 calories. To lose 1 pound you have to essentially burn 3,500 calories.

5pt Dinner: It was soupalooza in my house last night. White Bean Chicken Chili (1pt) and Vegetable Beef Soup (3pt) which I of course ate with Nabisco Goo Thins Corn Ones (1 pt for 15pieces).

We took a brisk short walk and I put together an IKEA Alex Shelf which was exhausting.

3pt Evening Snack: Hormel Turkey Pepperoni Stick 1pt, Halo Top Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (1/2 cup 2pt) with Walden Farms Caramel Dip (0pt)

I ended my day with 10 points left. I just wasn’t hungry after.

❤ I bet I sleep well tonight ❤
