Do you know how many calories you are drinking?

When I was thinking back to what I ate yesterday, I had to go to www.myfitnesspal.com to see if I even had enough calories. I'm still amazed by this, since I easily used to consume 3,000 calories a day. Hell, most dinners on a restaurant menu are well over 2,000 calories. Anyway, I noticed that I hadn't had enough calories until I added in my drinks. During the day I rarely drink anything but green tea, coffee or water. So, during the day my drinking calories were 60. Then we look at the the night time. Um 700 calories!! And, I mix soda water with my vodka. So, be very careful when you start ordering another Rum and Coke or fruity cocktail. Or, Mojito like the one I am going to order in 90 minutes at lunch with Robin :) The old adage "everything in moderation," is really important here!

So...here is yesterday's food/exercise journal:
  • 45 min Tae Bo
  • 1/2 bowl of natures path, optimum slim with some blueberries
  • 90 min of yoga (really great class at Practice Yoga - 4th and Fitzwater)
  • 2 green teas
  • Split a bowl of lentil soup and the "pick any 5 apps" at Cafe Fulya with Francesca. We went with a great mix of veggies and beans. They have fabulous mediteranean options. Just be careful with the bread. they bring LOTS! I managed to keep it to 1/2 a piece.
  • little clothing schlepping (which I always count as exercise)
  • Split 3 sushi rolls with the girls at Bleu Martini
  • 2 blueberry vodka sodas, 2 pinot noirs and a citrus cosmo (really?!?! Why did I have a headache this morning) think I'm gonna add water in between the cocktails last night.

Passed on the exercise this mornin...wonder why?!? But, it did give me more time to shop for new clothes for Rack and Roll's Spring sales!!
