I'm here, and let's talk about a mistake

OOPS: My Fitness Pal says: 2,715 calories for today. "If every day were like today... You'd weigh 159.7 lbs in 5 weeks."

I'm still in this until Wednesday, but I'm not sure the scale will show any more than the four pounds already displayed on the My Fitness Pal widget.  Let me depict something purchased from Panera this morning that seemed innocent enough:




This is a bacon and spinach breakfast souffle. It isn't as big as it looks in the photo. I guess it's bigger than a hockey puck, but not by much. So I didn't know that it was 570 calories until now. I knew it wasn't a "lite" selection. Now let's talk about how starving I was after driving around town in 90-degree heat for a few hours and how I ate not one, but two of these. So there's an instant 1,140 calories to start the day, and I went on and ate some other stuff too. OOPS

    1. It's hard to eat anything in there except water without it being a diet disaster.

  2. Hmmm, coulda sworn I left you a comment on yr Fri post?
    Oh well, nothing earthshattering - mainly noting that I've been struggling too, not posting "official" weigh-in until next Tues (PT session)... I watched my weight leap up 2 lbs after Tex-Mex indulgence, although I know that's not 100% fat, still discouraging to see my hard work erased so damn easily...
    Hang in there!

    1. I saw it. Sometimes I forget to hit the "approve comment" button. It's there now! I might extend this challenge for all of June, at the rate I'm going.

  3. I haven't put up photos in quite a while ...
    It's amazing how those little pastries (savory and sweet) rack up the calories!
