Christmas Eve Eve

I worked out this morning. My normal amount of time on the treadmill and ab exercises.
I ate ok today. I had carrot juice for breakfast, then went to Panera Bread Co. for lunch. They are awesome because they put calorie counts right up on their menu board. Very convenient! I got half of a veggie sandwich (cucumbers, peppers, tomato, and hummus on tomato basil bread) and a salad with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and red onions and lemon juice for dressing. So I did really well for the first half of the day. I got caught up with shopping and meeting friends, so didn't get home until about 9:00 and I'd eaten lunch around 2. So by the time I got home I was starving! My mom made cheeseburgers. I didn't eat the bun, but I did have two. In my defense, they were pretty small, so hopefully it wasn't too bad. I also had a few (like 5-6) tater tot rounds (which are smaller than normal tater tots). After that I had two Christmas cookies, a handful of M&Ms, and a Reese's bite-sized peanut butter cup. I also got a non-fat pumpkin latte at Barnes & Noble while I was out shopping. All in all, I guess I didn't do too bad considering I'm not making myself stay on a really hardcore diet while I'm here, and I've done pretty well every other day, AND I worked out this morning. But I do feel like my calories may have been a bit high. Oh well. I'm not too worried about it.

I probably won't eat very well tomorrow, but I'll try for the most part. I'm going out to breakfast and then probably out to lunch as well. Then every year on Christmas Eve my family makes a big dinner of snacking food, and I'm going to let myself eat what I want. And Christmas maybe kind of the same way. So I will focus on portions and not eating more than I really want or need, but other than that, I'm not going to restrict myself much for the next two days. Two days of not eating great isn't going to kill me, and I am going to try to work out the next two days although it may be tough to fit in.... I know tomorrow will be pretty packed, but I may try to just workout before I go to bed, even if it's really late. We'll see. I'm trying not to get to obsessive about it or be too hard on myself. But I also don't want to let myself off too easy. Any opinions on which one I might be doing are welcome! :)

Anyway, I'm off. I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas week!
