Adding it all up.. and feeling Blah!

Yesterday was a rough day. I was utterly exhausted; and working in my department alone. Looking back on yesterday I ate way more junk then I needed/should have... And won’t step on the scale for a week…

I drank 2 cans of DR Pepper at work 150 calories each = 300
Cup of oatmeal, I’m not sure on the calorie count... But I’ll take a guess at 150
Tuna and crackers = 225
Bag of sunchips while waiting for the car to get washed = 350
Then heading to the concert we stopped off at Whataburger; and I just about had a heart attack just now while adding up the calories on there site!!! I got a Chicken sandwich meal for a whopping grand total of 1230 Calories
I had water at the concert….
Then on the way home everyone was hungry so we went through Burger King and I got a JR Whopper with Cheese no onion = 420 calories *sigh*

For a grand total of 2,675 calories!!!!! WHAT!!!!!!!! I’m sick; I can’t believe I did that… I was so excited yesterday because I had to use a new whole on my belt last night. That’s OK… After I guzzle down this DR Pepper this AM (shh... I need a little wake me up this AM!), I’m sticking to just water and lettuce! J I’m hoping to be able to walk and get the kids again today. If not; I’ll be on the treadmill tonight or something. I’m going to have to work hard to get rid of the damage from yesterday. I’m going to justify it and say that I’ve been doing so good for awhile; that it’s NOT quite the end of the world that I did some major gorging yesterday?? Right??

Ok; On to the concert... We had a GREAT time!!! There were 2 opening acts that were OK... And the Cheetah girls were good. We had floor seats and just imagine the sheer joy in my baby girl’s eyes when the cheetah girls got on a stage less then 5 ft from us!! She really had a great time. As always; I have pictures... I’ll try and upload some in the next day or two and talk more about the concert and our time there.

Menu

Every pay day (twice a month) Jeff and I create a menu and go do our grocery shopping based on this menu. I don't assign meals to certain days, I just come up with 10 meals, and pick and choose each day which one I'm going to do. There are 4 days unaccounted for, but those are saved for what I call my Free For All Nights. We'll do leftovers, quick sandwiches, cereal etc.. those are usually saved for my jam packed run around like a chicken going crazy kind of nights though.. I figured I'd start sharing my menu on here.. I'm always looking for new things to try, preferably something really simple! :-)



Chicken Picatta (I’ve never made before, just had it at work a few times and loved it)
Beef Enchiladas and Spanish Rice
Crock Pot French Dip Sandwiches (Never made before!)
Baked Zitti
Fried Chicken
Chicken Pot Pie
Chicken Alfredo
Sheppard’s Pie (again, never made but have heard it’s good)
Shake and Bake Pork Chops
Chicken Caesar Salad



So there you go... My 10 meals...
