Trying to Go on a Diet Part 2

The struggle continues.

Wednesday:

So for breakfast and lunch, I actually wasn’t doing too badly. For breakfast, a cup of passion tea with some sugar and a PB & J sandwich. For lunch, a Lean Cuisine meal.

Let me tell you, I understand why they call it Lean Cuisine… 1 meal is soooo not satisfying.

But then I was walking home after work and feeling tired. And hungry. So hungry.

So I just said, “Fuck it,” and bought some Philadelphia Rolls and called them a “snack.”

Hey, at least sushi is not TERRIBLE for you. There’s the rice, so you got grains. And there’s the avocado, so you got fruit. And there’s the crab, so you got protein. And there’s the cream cheese, so you got dairy.

*Googles cream cheese*

What foods are included in the Dairy Group?

Foods made from milk that have little to no calcium, such as cream cheese, cream, and butter, are not.

Goddamn it!

But come dinner time…

I had a coupon for a free scoop at Mitchell’s Ice Cream, so naturally, I had to get some lemon black raspberry frozen yogurt.

Hey, at least I didn’t get chocolate brownie ice cream!

Then I wanted something cheap yet filling, so I got a…

Calzone.

A big, greasy (and delicious) calzone with cheese, sauce, chicken, and mushrooms.

Hey, at least you got the grains (the crust), the dairy (the cheese), the vegetables (the mushrooms), and the meat (the chicken).

And hey, I only had half of the calzone. So portion control, yay.

And according to myfitnesspal.com, I still managed to be under my daily calorie count. Though I may have underestimated the calories of the calzone, hahahaha.

I regret nothing!

Thursday:

Oh, today is going to be good for my happiness but bad for my diet.

I’m going to get some soul food with my UChicago host, so of course I’m going to get something delicious and fattening. A salad? Pleeeeease.

And for dinner, I’m going to have the second half of the calzone.

So more than likely, I will exceed my daily calorie count.

Whateeeever.

Fat jeans, wait for me…
