Wednesday August 24, 2016 Menu
I spent time Tuesday evening trying to figure out what I was going to eat. With a busy work week I have left my mother up to the cooking. I also had seen that there was one more donut left that needed to be eaten. I knew I wanted either a hamburger or a link of boudin. I entered in My Fitness Pal all my meals. I was almost 300 calories over my budget with no snacks on the burger and I was under on the boudin. I decided to keep my menu as is with the exception that if I did eat that burger I would place half my plate in a to go box, which would put me under by 100 calories. I wasn't sure how to enter in the burger and fries in the app. I picked items that were verified and had similar calories among that group. At lunch time I was very hungry and the thought of only eating half my burger and fries did not appeal to me. SO, I stopped at Juneau's Cajun Meats and got me a link of boudin. They weigh your boudin which makes it easier for calculating my calories. I did my 1 hour of exercise, which included 20 minutes of cardio and the rest of the time weight training. For supper I had the sloppy joes my mom made. I put the sandwich in half, open faced style and placed some meat on each bun. This gave my mind the appearance that I was eating more than I was. I was able to add more filling to my meal because she used ground deer meat instead of ground meat. I say I had a great southern lunch and my deer sloppy joes were just delish also for a total of 1169 calories for the day. And yes! I measured and weighed everything. A crucial part of everyone's dieting is will power. The second part is portion control with good choices and third is physical activity.
It's how southern women diet!
Happy Eating
