Friday Night Kickass-ness

Well happy Friday bloggies! I love Fridays and I’m really looking forward to this one because I get to go and have brunch tomorrow with Tasha, Farm Girl, Bionic and Lynn tomorrow at Cora’s! How lucky am I! :-D

This morning I decided to alternate with the Ezekiel cinnamon raisin english muffin, toasted with some becel and a cup of coffee with some scotsburn blend cream and some sugar-free syrup for a total of 247 calories:

I had a nice juicy and crunchy apple for a morning Snack of a honeycrisp apple for 80 calories:

I had the last serving of the couscous salad for Lunch on a bed of organic herb salad with a side of fresh raspberries for 257 calories:

I succumbed to an unplanned Snack and had a Kraft active bar that I had in my drawer at work for 140 calories but I didn’t snap a picture because I was too tied up with papers etc. That was unplanned but not the worst thing in the world and it was high in protein. I was trying to be good because I had plans to meet up with my buddy Lena after work for a coffee so I planned for a skinny vanilla latte with a special caramel machiatto biscotti treat for dunking for a total of 290 calories:

In my opinion, skinny lattes are well worth the 130 calories because they fill you up like a snack and you get a milk serving at the same time = not a bad deal at all when it feels like a “treat.”

And while I was at Chapters/Starbucks I decided to treat myself to a few magazines to flip through when I got home and changed into my Friday night comfies, so I warmed up a bowl of the “Use it up” Chili from yesterday and grabbed my two mags and ate it downstairs on the couch with hubby while he played his PB3 game. The chili was around 315 calories:

Hubby had already ordered pizza and garlic fingers before I got home and the pizza was hot and untouched when I got here, but I am proud to say that I looked at it and closed the box and went with my original plan of the chili! Yay me! The whole reason is because I already planned to have brunch tomorrow with the girls at Cora’s! One or the other, not both! But I did have 2 tiny end piece garlic fingers worth about 120 calories I would guess.

So that actually did put me over my net of 1200 calories for the day because the extra snack attack that I had with the Kraft bar was in there too and I took the day off of exercise since I got home so late. My total for the day was around 1450 calories which is about 250 above my net goal of 1200 because I didn’t get in any exercise. I’m not gauged to exercise 7 days a week, so sticking to 1200 a day on those non-exercise days will be pretty tough!
