What are you "saving up" for?

I'm feeling like today would be a good day for a Snickers candy bar. I don't have anything like that in the house right now (I checked!), so I'm currently munching on a big back of sugar snap peas, but I'm saving some calories for a candy bar to finish off my night, for sure.

What are you making room for today?

    I am seriously considering a bowl of unsweetened apple sauce, a little milk and some grape nuts. I realize it sounds like a weird combo, but it is super delicious!

    Making homemade split pea and ham soup. It smells amazing in the crock pot right now. I'm saving up for seconds!

    I'm not sure. Maybe some carrot cake, custard or a few glasses of wine.

    I tend not to consciously save up for anything: I usually eat breakfast however I want, then plug in my dinner right after and figure out my lunch from there. Sometimes I end up with a lot of extra calories and either have a wine or beer or a big spoon of peanut butter (often while cheerily shouting "IT FITS MY MACROS" while running through the house like a lunatic).

    But tomorrow I'm going to a wine and food pairing party so I need to save up for that...

    While I'm not saving up for anything specifically, I've been really wanting a slice of pizza. I make a delcious homemade pizza and I've been studying how to stick a few slices into my diet one day soon.

    I actually made room for lunch at the Mexican restaurant with a friend, So my evening meal and snack will be on the light side.

    I try to stay on the straight and narrow during the week. I usually go over a couple hundred calories on Saturdays, so whatever I've 'banked' on the other days kind of evens it out. Usually... :bigsmile:

    My glass of White Zin on ladies night out (Typically Mondays, but I've been sick the past few MONTHS and haven't had any in about 6 weeks).

    Next Monday I will make sure to save room for it!

    I love sugar snap peas! They are sooo darn expensive at the moment...

    Not saving up for anything today. I'm not very hungry due to being sick. I am going to have pasta for lunch which I wouldn't normally have. Not really looking forward to it.

    1/2 a pop tart?
    Why don't you just eat the whole thing.

    I some how lucked out and still have 700+ calories left after dinner for the day and then have 200+ more to be added from my C25K run. Guess I will be eating whatever I want when done my workout.

    My personal preference. :) There's a lot of sugar in them, so I usually just split with my hubby.

    I'm working on setting up a pretty regular diet atm, so I guess I'm not saving right now. Just trying to see how much extra I can shave off..
