Bodybuggin'

Today was a good day, not as great as yesterday as i ate a bit over 1500 calories, 1593 to be exact but I did exercise for 72 minutes, over the 60 minutes that was my goal.  I will take that.

Today has been a huge challenge with not snacking.  I haven't really snacked but I did make Marc & I a dessert for after dinner that involved chocolate chips.  I guess I was feeling cocky/confident at the grocery store that I could handle having them in the house.  I ate two servings over what was in the dessert during the day.  I counted the calories so I'm holding myself accountable but I do feel a teeny bit guilty.

So according to my bodybugg, yesterday I burnt 3444 calories, my goal being 3150.  I consumed 1425 calories, my goal on bodybugg being 1400 but I'm eating 1500 so my calorie deficit was 2017 calories.  Something that makes me extremely happy.  Especially since I only exercised for 30 minutes yesterday.

This little bodybugg gadget is keeping me motivated which was the point.  I am hoping that tomorrow is a better day with the snacking urges.  I'm thinking of having Chipotle for dinner so my burrito bowl is about 740 calories so that doesn't leave me a whole lot to play with during the day if I have the snacking urges agin.  We shall see.

Goals for Tomorrow:
*Exercise for at least 70 minutes.  That will mean I'm just over halfway to my goal.
*Eat under 1500 calories even if we do have take-out.  This will be a huge accomplishment for me!
*Keep busy - don't let snacking get the best of me.

Great deficit! I love my bodybugg... being able to see all of the numbers right in front of me is so motivating. Plus, I can figure out exactly what I need to do to compensate IF I want a treat. Good luck with your goals for tomorrow! :)
