ABC Diet- Day 2

It's been a good day. 

Wrote my midterm this afternoon, ran errands, stayed under my cal limit for today. 

Calorie Limit: 500

Intake: ~350

- 1 Mini egg: 16

- 1 light beer: 115

- Mushroom soup: 200

- Vitamin C chews: 20

I know it seems silly that I would have some of that stuff while trying to lose weight, but I let myself if I can fit it in so it doesn't mess things up.

Like the beer for example. Stupid thing to drink, but so worth it. 

I had gone shopping for random St. Patty’s Day stuff (like necklaces and leg warmers) with my housemates and we ended up doing a beer run. Gorgeous day, we were having fun, laughing, wishing summer was here. None of us could resist sitting outside and having a nice cold beer when we got home. It was almost like a weird way to wish in the nice weather. St. Patty’s day is a big thing for us because it is our last real big occasion until the end of the year.

I was somewhat behaved today though. I didn't cave and get McDonald's, even though I was there with the rest of the girls in the line, so I don’t feel too bad about the beer. As long as I stay under my calorie limit for the day I feel I’m okay. 

I would like the calories I have to be healthy calories but that doesn’t always happen it seems. I think I"m going to make that my new goal; to try and eat only healthy, clean, natural foods. No junk or processed crap even if I can stay within my cal limit eating crap. 

I also have a rule of no eating after 8pm now. I know this is a pretty standard guideline, but it has never been something I've followed. I'm bad for eating a lot at night so I figured this might help. 

My mom is going to be visiting in town tomorrow and wants to go out for dinner so I’ll have to figure that out. I'm thinking salmon or something of the sort, and I'll only have half and bring the rest home. 

Going out to eat when I'm trying to restrict is the worst. 

Anyways, I'm off to finish studying for my midterm tomorrow.
