First, lets just say that the Saints aren't the only winners after last night:
Who Dat!!!! Another 0.4 pounds down. At this rate I am feeling pretty awesome about this. CASA is working better than I ever could have dreamed.
But let me also fully confess something: yesterday I stuck to my calorie goal (impressive, in my opinion, considering that stadiums are basically a diet wasteland), but the ONLY reason I did was because instead of having dinner I had 3 giant all-American Bud Lights at the game.
I know, I know! There are so many things about that that are bad. Skipping meals is NEVER something I do (just ask The H....I get pretty cranky without 3 squares and some snacks), but my only options were government cheese and chips or a massive pretzel.
No thanks. Not worth it. I just kept hearing the chorus of Sinatra's "New York, New York" in my head and couldn't do it. Not for government cheese.
And beer IS made with whole grains, contains antioxidants, does not contain high fructose corn syrup or other additives, and tastes damn good with football.....so it was arguably the most nutritious choice.
But trust me, I will never make a habit of this....and today will be food-centric and well-balanced. I'm sure 153.8 will just be a memory tomorrow. For now, though, I will bask in the eerie glow of a job well done....even if it wasn't done in the healthiest of ways. =\
