South Beach Phase 1 Day 8--Bad day of...badness

So we went to Whole Foods today to pick up some whole wheat fillo dough for the eventual pumpkin pie I plan on making.  Anyway, we'd already gone to another story and T was throwing a fit, particularly as we wandered past the pastry shelf, you know, where they keep the donuts and things?  Anyway, we cheated, again, and decided, "what the heck?"  We got a cinnamon roll and a pumpkin cookies.  I couldn't find nutrition information on either, so I guessed.  Tonight I called Whole Foods and asked about the cinnamon roll.  They estimated roughly 1500 calories for that sucker!

I'm still in shock.  What have I done.  I blew it.  700 calories on ONE snack.  Plus the 120 or so that I figure for a "homemade" pumpkin cookie with icing.  I feel so deceived about this supposedly "healthy" food grocery.  Bah, humbug.  At any rate...

By the way, I totally did get sick from the noodles last night.  Worshipped the porcelain god for an hour before my stomach settled enough to sleep.

Breakfast: Protein shake with 1/2 c Almond Dream unsweetened milk.  Glass of Citrucel.

Workout--Wii Active for 40 minutes

Snack;  That @#$%@ cinnamon roll and a pumpkin cookie, both split with D and T.  Roughly 900 calories.

Lunch:  Spinach, tomato, and half a baby dill pickle

Snack: 1/3 celery stalk and 1/2 tbsp peanut butter

Dinner: Salad with lettuce, spinach, a hard boiled egg, a little cheese, tomato, shredded chicken and 1 tbsp Kroger Olive Oil and Vinegar dressing.


This is the first time that MyFitnessPal hasn't yelled at me for eating too few calories, but for the next three days, I'm being uber strict.  Like, even cutting out dairy for 2 meals of the day.  I'll still do our planned dinners, but the rest of the time...I'm going to pay for that roll.  Add a couple extra workouts, whatever I need to do to make up for it.
