Since I started focusing on losing weight and exercising regularly, I have consumed maybe 2 beers. I declared yesterday to be my "cheat" day! I had muffins at work (2), pizza for dinner (3 slices) and then... the beer (5) and Jagerbombs (5). I almost forgot the extra pizza I had later in the night. (2 slices) The down side of my cheating is that I was 1,814 calories OVER my goal for the day. That's almost DOUBLE!!!!!
I am ashamed.
The plus side: I realize that the drinking is part of what helped me gain so much weight as quickly as I did. Tracking all of the calories I consumed just in alcohol was a real eye opener. I did make a smarter choice when I purchased the Redbull. I opted for sugar free as opposed to regular. That made a difference of 45 calories per Jagerbomb... potentially 225 additional calories.
There is no excuse for this kind of "cheating" and I regret it, but what's done is done. I can at least say that I learned from it and can move on to a more positive day. I was able to hold myself accountable for what I consumed.
To end this blog, I will just say HOLY CRAP!
