This is a conversation that Bob and I were having today. I went to the college to pick up the placement test review booklet which of course turned out to have someone else's scribbles in it and I was wandering around the campus in the 88 degree heat (with 96% HUMIDITY, mind you) looking for the testing center... by the time I looked at it, I didn't feel like hiking all the way back there in the sweltering weather.

Anyway, back to my story....... I stopped at McDonald's on my way back to work to pick up a chicken caesar salad... while I was there I decided to pick up a nutritional guide. Insanity. This is where the email comes in.


Haha, oh, I could! That used to be one of my favorite things at McDonald's when I used to work there!

The weekend mornings were way worse... we used to make up our own sandwiches... we'd put an egg, Canadian bacon, regular bacon, sausage and cheese on a biscuit! That was a cholesterol special! These days you could just wrap a giant piece of cheese around it and it'd be called an Atkins supreme!

Ahh... the good old days! I was about 25 pounds lighter eating that crap! Haha... what happened to me???

Double Quarter Pounder with cheese is 770 calories, Super size fry is 520 calories, Super size coke 310 calories.... So 1600 calories.. that would be over my 1500 calories a day that I'm giving myself!



Speaking of my 1500 a day limit, by my estimates, I've actually been under that limit... I'm eating closer to 1300 calories a day. Which is probably better for trying to lose weight, but could be why I'm starving. The funny thing is that on Friday when I was sure that I'd majorly screwed up my diet by going to Happy Hour, eating at Romano's and eating the buttered bread, etc... even with 2 beers my estimate of that day is only 1550 calories! Not bad. That's been the only day that I've gone over in the past week. I'm really guesstimating these numbers, but I think they're pretty close. I'm going to start paying a little more attention to calorie numbers and am going to start writing down those as well. That way, every day I'm under or at my goal intake, I can feel like I've accomplished something. That will be better than compulsively weighing myself, which will probably only discourage me. I'm only going to weigh myself every few days now.

I swear!
