1 Nut Equals 100 Nuts!

My Friday night started off okay and went downhill from there.

I won this beauty off eBay!


It will be here within 2 to 9 days so no more foggy pictures! I am very excited. I just have to be extremely careful with it since I tend to spill water on everything.

I watched Lost for the rest of the night and those munchies started to appear. I knew that if I got one snack, it would turn into about 5. I ignored that little fact and got one anyway. I made a very bad choice in what snack I chose.

I found this nice Snacktrition mix that they sent to me to sample. Nuts sounded really yummy with my glass of wine so I brought the package into my room- first mistake.

I opened the package and really should have took a handful and put the rest back in the kitchen.

First I took a small amount out of the package to munch on.

Okay, I did not know there where white chocolate chips in there!!! I think that’s what made it impossible to stop. I poured myself another handful but bigger…

I poured a few more but it was too delicious to keep taking pictures. There are 8 servings in that little thing. I am sure I had about half the package! Not good, especially for a high calorie food like nuts, even if it is healthy fat.

I finally forced myself to put the rest of the nuts back. I looked in the fridge for a drink and saw my roommates milk. Milk means that there is cereal in her room. I am not okay when there is any kind of cereal in the house. It is really one of my favorite things to eat but I do not allow it near me since I end up eating 5 bowls.

My idiot self wandered into her room to see what type of cereal she had. Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds and Honey Cluster Cheerios. Not okay.

I immediately poured myself a cup of the cheerios without even thinking twice about it.

Delicious. I should have stopped there. But I knew there was still Honey Bunches of Oats. They are seriously my favorite cereal ever. So I pour a cup of those.
Well apparently this was a sign that I was not supposed to eat them!

I spilled my cup all of her room!! I am so glad she does not read this. She would kill me!
I cleaned it all up and my sick self poured a cup of the cereal anyway. I was so full and nauseous and cried because I did this. I really should not be allowed home on Friday nights anymore. I did so well all week and felt like my hard work all went down the drain.
I woke up this morning and decided to not stress about it. I knew I needed to stay positive or it would just keep happening. I redeemed myself and got right up and made it to a 9:30 am spin class.

Before the class, I ate half a Larabar to hold myself over.

I don’t really like anything Coconut so this was kind of gross to me but it was the only bar left in my house so I ate it anyway. It did the trick.

Spin was really good today! I was kind of dying during the class because it was so hard. I burned 415 calories. My average heart rate was 171 and my maximum was 188. Very nice! Very happy I did that!

I decided to stay and do a Total Body Conditioning class too since I missed it on Thursday. This class was just okay. The teacher was very picky and kept correcting me. I do not mind that because I like to have the right form but she did it in a way that was embarrassing so that the whole class saw. Everything just seemed slower than my usual classes since she was all about form. I burned 188 calories in that class.

I came home with quite an appetite so I made an omelet!

I used 4 egg whites and a slice of Smart Beat American Cheese.

I toasted an Arnold’s Sandwich Thin and topped it with spray butter and strawberry preserves.

I made a mug of Awake Tea to go along with it.

So delicious after a nice workout! I just had a pear too because I needed something sweet. I am off to go bridal dress shopping with my sister. I really don’t feel like it but have no choice!

Not sure what the plans are for tonight but I will not let myself be at home by myself. I do not want to risk that happening 2 nights in a row. I am off to go get on the subway! Have a nice Saturday!

    cereal is one of my biggest trigger foods for b/p so i just avoid it all together and have oatmeal for breakfast instead. i’ve been where you are many times and i completely understand, but we both have to know that our hard efforts toward healthy lives (physically, mentally, emotionally, just all around) is to be okay with set backs. that doesn’t mean that all our hard work has gone to waste (i need to remember this myself). you’re doing fabulously!

    I’m sorry you struggled last night! But good job on keeping a positive attitude and moving on. I’ve struggled myself recently, and similarly, I am trying to move on and keep on with life.
    take care,

    Perhaps you can distract yourself by calling your friend next time. It’s nice to get some outside support. Don’t feel so bad. At least milk is healthy. :)

    I never heard of that kind of Cheerios – too bad your roommate doesn’t have a door and a lock… that would help. Anyway, great work on going to spin! It gets addicting, right? Can’t wait to hear about the dress.

    P.S. Rob and I “shared” pad thai which means I ate almost all of it

    Dori: You are lucky you never heard of those cheerios because you would pick all the clusters out! So great! She really does need a door. A curtain does not stop me.

    Yes spin is getting addicting! I really did hate it today while I was doing it but knowing I fixed the binge last night made it all worth it!

    Okay we need to go to the Pad Thai place by your work.
