I survived the Super Bowl! Did you?

sblueyez

I certainly celebrated a Giants win but my diet didn't take a back seat. I got lucky because our party hosts had plenty of healthy choices. Along with the usual unhealthy hot dogs, brats and hamburgers they had grilled salmon, asparagus, coleslaw made with olive oil and red wine vinegar. Even the fries, chips, salsa and guac were homemade, although I skipped them except for a small taste. I also skipped the dessert cupcakes that come from the grocery store and have 100g of sugar and stain your mouth blue (which I normally wouldn't be able to do). I opted to wait for a small piece of chocolate when I got home.

So, how did you fare? If you went over budget on the calories, did you make up for it earlier last week or will you do it this week? A cheat day is not always as horrible as it may seem!

It was BAD. Like pizza, nachos, beer, soda, cookies bad.

I am not a football fan but usually LOVE SuperBowl just for the food and beer. I have to admit that I stayed home and away from any form of SuperBowl party just so I could be good. Granted I had A LOT of homework to do also, but I am glad I did because I was down a pound from yesterday.

I ate too much without realizing. Nachos. Mozzarella sticks. Grapes. Almonds. Brownies.
I tried limiting myself. I had 2 Mozzarella sticks. 20 grapes. 5 almonds. 1 brownie. 5 nachos.

But still went over my calorie limit.

I was under my calories with a little preemptive cardio in the morning.

Low fat nachos (ground turkey instead of ground beef, low fat cheese, low fat sour cream) and spinach & artichoke dip with low fat mayo/cream cheese/sour cream. Still not the healthiest in the world but I felt good knowing I tried. Plus used carrots instead of chips, and pita chips instead of nachos. Overally not horrible!

I am so proud of myself I had strawberries, blackberries and grapes with a side of strawberry flavored cool whip, while everyone else ate tamales, nachos, brisket and goat, yes I said goat. I would not be eating goat on any given day!

I could have been better. I was over my calorie limit. I should have stuck to the pineapple, strawberries and grapes for dessert, but the homemade bar cookies were just too tempting. I did limit my other food choices to only the foods I loved and only ate a taste of each, I was good the rest of last week, and I'm back on track today.

Haha so funny. So I guess yours will count as a cheat day?

That's awesome! Good job. It sounds like you did what was best for you.

You should be proud! Great job!

I'm proud! Homemade guacamole from all fresh ingredients and no added salt, a low fat greek yogurt based dip (with some no fat sour cream). I mainly dipped vegetables, but had calories allotted for tortilla chips, and then at the last minute I had the idea to make my own tortilla chips by spraying olive oil over the La Tortilla Factory Smart and Delicious Corn Tortillas, which wound up being half the calories. I still had around two of the other kind, and my macros were off, though I stayed well under calorie limit, but YES! I was happy.

I did ! I only had 2 pieces of pizza and 3 wings. No soda or alcohol.
