UGH!!!

what beer does to your damn diet!! i went out last night with some friends and drank 5 budlights. thats over 500 calories. i made sure i save my calories from the day because i knew i was going out. i live in texas, and mexican food is the best here. i ate stuffed avocados with chicken and cheese in the middle. its great. i knew avocados were high in fat but damn, i didnt know 2 of them had 59 grams of fat. AND I ATE THAT LAST NIGHT!!! but, you know.. i dont feel guilty. yea, i went over almost 250 in calories and 15 in fat grams, but i had fun last night! and i know i bust my *kitten* in the gym so i will recover today and go on like i have everyday. sorry, i just wanted to vent and say damn avocados... i love them and will look at them in a different way everytime i see guacomole!!!! :)

    There's a good side and a bad side to your story. lol Sorry you went over your calorie intake and drank all that beer and now you are going to have to exercise like crazy today to make up for it. That's the bad side. Now the good side - you had a great time and improved your mental health, absorbed Vitamin B from the beer and avocados are actually full of monounsaturated fat which is the good kind and lowers your cholesterol levels. So avocados are good!.... in small amounts lol - in fact I was thinking I should probably use them more on my salads in place of dressing and then use lime squeezes instead as a extra flavor.
    Thanks for sharing your story. You see how I cheer myself up... put the good side last and then things look brighter. hee hee

    i never looked at it like that. umm, beer is good for you??? i was very proud of myself because i could have drank strawberry margaritas (which I LOVE) last night, but i just couldnt! they are loaded with sugars.. gosh, im obsessed with this damn website. so, now when i go out and have a beer..i will say, "oh that has vitamin b and i need my vitamins" so i wont feel bad! he he he... thanks for the post. you made me laugh and i needed it :)

    There are good fats and there are bad fats like redalee explained the avocados. They tell us to eat avocados for our fat…so you ate good fat.
    It isn’t the occasional night out that put the weight on us….it's the every day over indulgences that did it.
    Like redalee said “you had a great time and improved your mental health”….we ALL need to do that from time to time.
    I always say we do not live by lettuce, lean protein and water alone. We sometimes need to relax and just enjoy a few other things as well….just not everyday or too often.
    So don’t kick yourself over it and just go back to your regular plan and you will be fine.
    Have A Great Day!

    Hehe, I love my Sox! Beckett is a MAN among boys right now. I cried in 86, cursed the Yanks in 03, and rubbed it in the face of every NY friend I know in 04 (hey, they had been doing it to me for decades!) In 07 I'll be doing the Riverdance just like Pappelbon! :)

    Just remember what Ben Franklin said

    "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy!"

    :) Happy Halloween all!
