Friday

Okay, so here is my story of Friday night. I've been having the problem of not eating enough calories even though I'm eating every three hours and am not hungry. So I got to Friday night having eaten only 1000 calories. This doesn't include my exercise calories and I wanted to eat more. The only options at Off the Cuff are candy bars. I looked at each one intensively and found that my best option was a Hershey bar with almonds because it had the least sugar and the most protein. At this point I was still not sure what my best option was, I mean, do I eat the candy to get to a healthy calorie level or should I forego all treats?

I ate the candy bar.

I chose this because I'm pretty positive that my problem last week was not eating enough so I said this week everyday I will get to 1200 calories. (Yesterday that was not a problem at all, yay free days!) on Saturday I asked my dear friend who is also a personal trainer and here's what he said. Given the situation that I was in, I made a good choice. BUT, here is why: its not good to be under 1000 calories a day no matter what, I still had a two hour improv show to do (if I were going to be soon, then no go) and I chose the least of all evils and looked closer than just calories. He did say that my absolute best option of all is planning better ahead of time.

Good things to know. I'm feeling really good about this week and I hope the scale does too!!
