I never eat fast food. I'm actually surprised as to how much I see it on MFP. I don't really care for it.....but I do LOVE me some Chickfila! I just finished blazing through my second spin class today and had 1200 calories left for the day! I had the kids...we were all tired, hungry, and covered in sweat. So we rolled through Chick-thrilla. Before MFP I would have gone for the grilled chicken salad with half the dressing and kept the calories to the minimum...because that's what's going to make me lose weight, RIGHT?

WELL THANK YOU MFP for explaining to me that I have to feed my body after killing it with cardio! It needs the calories! So I went..SCREW IT! I WOULD LOOOOOOVE A SPICY CHICKEN SANDWICH! I HAVE PLENTY O' CALORIES LEFT! The sodium killed my day in one fell swoop...but it was delicious and satisfying and I'm still under for the day.

My AHA moment! Yay!

    Good for you - I hope you enjoyed every bite! Next time, have one for me, too - no Chick Fil A around here and I really miss it from Philly area :frown:

    I did! It was a HUGE chicken breast with crispiness and heat going on. It was delightful!

    DUDE! It's my two-a-day Thursday. I teach one 45 and one 60 minute class. My legs are toast at the end, but I'm recovering from a cold so I had extra energy from resting. I kicked their BUTTS tonight. An hour after class and my HRM read over 800 calories burned.
  • YUMMY!! You go girl!! :D
