Day 27

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I'm done Thursday!!

I'll be back later to update, but I just wanted to mention something I learned that should be obvious but wasn't to me. When you eat things that are healthier (eg - granola instead of pop-tarts) they actually keep you fuller longer. I know, you're all thinking I'm crazy for not realizing this earlier in life, but I didn't! I was eating granola for breakfast before and it was really filling me up and getting me by until lunchtime. But I also have several boxes of pop-tarts. I would have pop-tarts as a snack (because I'm one of the only people in the world who likes them) and that's 200 more calories. So I brilliantly thought that I should replace the granola with the pop-tarts and eliminate the snack. I really wasn't hungry for the snack anyway... I just wanted the deliciousness. I figured the calories in a big bowl of granola are the same as 2 pop-tarts, so it's the same thing. Wrong. The 2 pop-tarts DID fill me up. For about an hour or two. Then I wanted more food. The granola keeps me full for 4 or 5 hours. Crazy, right? I still wanted to eat the pop-tarts though, so I modified it a bit. I eat 1 pop-tart instead of 2 (200 calories instead of 400) and 1/2 of a cup of granola instead of 1 cup (193 calories instead of 380something). I'm still getting the same calories. I'm still getting my pop-tart. But it gets be by until lunch. Woohoo! I'm a genius :p

Ok, so for the day, I ended up with 1,288 calories, 2 liters of water, and 30 Day Shred Level 3, Day 7. 3 more days!!!
