1427 calories, give or take a few


1427 That's how many calories I ingested today per myfitnesspal app.  What's amazing is I had 2 slices of cheesecake for breakfast.  Yummy chocolate chips, thick cream cheese, so fattening.  350 calories a slice. This was after I had done my 10 minutes on my elliptical and was around 10:30 am.

I didn't eat again until 1:30.  Chicken Piccata by Michelangelo's.  I actually ate the serving size recommended when creating 3 servings from the family size meal, about 300 calories.  Tomorrow I will eat the final serving for lunch or breakfast, who knows.  I left out my usual orzo pasta because it turns out to be too many calories.

I also did another 10 minutes on my elliptical.   And I had sex.  I've read that sex burns about 69 calories (yeah, I rolled my eyes when I saw the amount but it makes it easier to remember.)   Any who, I list it as a cardio.

Dinner was at 6pm.  Pot roast with baby carrots & little purple potatoes (no gravy).   About 400 calories.

Then I had a tiny little bite of peanut butter fudgy brownies.  My husband said I had burnt them, so I had to taste some to placate him that while the upper crust was hard, the inside was soft and nummy.  He's a picky eater.  The one thing in my marriage that causes me stress, trying to feed a grown man who never knows what he wants to eat & then trying to fix it the right way so he won't waste food.  After 15 years, I've got a handle on it, but it still irritates me.  Lucky for me it's winter so I can use my oven again and baked meals are my favorite.  Probably because I don't like to cook.  Love to eat though.

So I didn't get a full 11K on my steps today but that's ok since I didn't eat my full calorie count.  Tomorrow when I step on the scales, I hope to see 221, since I didn't see that today.
