Free Ahhh

Yesterday was my free day, I was allowed to eat whatever I wanted.  So the following is what I chose: cheerios, Culver's snack pack (the ButterBurger one with just ketchup, crinkle cut fries, & a Pepsi Wild Cherry), chewy Runts, can of grape soda, King vanilla cone, & 2 mini Reese's cups.  By the way, the links are just pictures of the items.  I love the snack packs because they are small (small fry & drink).  Good size, used to be perfect for me but yesterday it filled me up a lil more than usual.  I haven't had Culver's in months, because I don't live right by one anymore (which is prolly a good thing because I love their burgers & ice cream products) but yesterday when I was out & about, I went to Target, it was only another 5-6 miles to go to one.

Target by the way, was a trap I avoided, lol.  The one I was at had Pizza Hut products at their food/snack stand & I love to get the 3 pack of breadsticks when I go.  There is also a Starbucks in there.  But I had just eaten & didn't want to get super full or eat a crap ton of calories.  My total for the day was 1600, which isn't too awful.  And it seems I gained around half a pound, which isn't too bad, especially since I expected more because I was still, well not full but satisfied, I guess? this morning.  I didn't actually exercise at all other than wandering around stores quite a bit.

I decided to try the senna suggestions.  Kinda.  I found generic pills of senna concentrate for $4.  Taking pills (even though I hate taking any) will be easier than trying to make myself drink a bunch of tea or something mixed with fiber powder or whatever.  And I kinda rationalized that something from vegetables is a lot better than something man-made, lol.  I haven't tried them yet though.  I'm fine with not having a movement daily, I realize sometimes I might not eat enough to make that happen but I don't want stuff just sitting there for too long either.  And I'm won't be using them often, just something to have in case.

Today I am having a banana smoothie, prolly around lunch time.  Bought bananas & a packet of the powder yesterday (have milk & ice).  The whole thing made is about 460 cals, but it is supposed to be 3 servings.  I won't drink all of it.  I like these because it's a lot like having a milkshake but better for me (health & calorie wise).  I had 5 green grapes & water for breakfast.

I hope everyone is having a lovely week!  And meeting goals & all that good stuff too!
