Ohh Yes Friday

Friday, March 14, 2014

So glad it's Friday.  Even though I plan and need to work tomorrow.  Just the idea of being able to go at my own pace tomorrow, to sleep in if I need it, is so enticing.  One of these days I'll fix things and get my exercise on but judging from how rough today was it won't be tomorrow.

Breakfast:  2 slices sharp cheddar, 1 large McDonalds coffee, black (185 calories)

The usual, just out of order and at a strange late time.

Lunch:  Subway 6" ham on jalapeno cheddar with provolone cheese, all the veggies except spinach, southwest sauce (500 calories)

With any item like this, calories are necessarily an estimate.
At least they have a calculator so I have an idea!

According to the Subway site this calculates to 470 calories, I'm rounding up slightly in case I got extra sauce or something.  It wasn't bad.

Snack:  Small gas station popcorn, popped in peanut oil (400 calories)

Hard to get any kind of meaningful visual here.

Kind of a guess here.  Okay, no kind of.  It's a total guess.  Stupid impulse purchases.

Dinner:  Homemade chicken pot pie filling, 2 slices of sourdough toast with butter (920 calories)

Where is the crust you say?  THERE IS NO CRUST.

Chicken pot pie recipe, more or less, from a site called Simply Scratch.  The rest of the chicken from the rotisserie bird I bought yesterday, carrot, onion, celery, a potato, frozen peas, chicken stock, milk, flour and spices.  Quite good, but like stew I expect it to be better tomorrow.  It needed more salt.  But I am now happily stuffed.  I don't know that I really needed the bread, but I knew that I had the calories available and it sounded like an acceptable shortcut.  Too tired to do what I thought I would try, which was einkorn biscuits.  Maybe another time.

Day total:  2,005 calories.  Bingo.  I'm guessing that I might have had a bit more than that, since I think I ate more 1/3 of the chicken recipe, but I'm not going to sweat it, since I *did* accurate calculate the calories for the entire dish ... at least as accurately as I could considering my scale died (dead battery) in the middle of cooking!  The only things that didn't get measured specifically were the potato and onion.  So it should be very close.

Exercise:  Nope.  Super tired this morning and tired late.  Long day at work.
