About a month or so ago, I started drinking it again. It's sweetness just taste so good and it's my little indulgence (or addiction - is there much of a difference at this point). I try to limit myself to just one a day (if that) but it's getting harder. I've been trying to cut down - I had a 20 ounce bottle on Monday, a 16 ounce bottle yesterday and a 12 ounce can today. But I really want another one. Thankfully, living in the middle of nowhere doesn't give me a lot of options to just go pick one up.
My problem with Mountain Dew is that I would choose it over any sugary cake or cookie or candy. Mountain Dew has been my "go to" snack lately.
My photo food log for today:
 |
| pasta and parmesan - 390 calories |
 |
| Mountain Dew - 170 calories |
 |
| skillet lasagna - no idea |
 |
| 2 bud lights - 220 |
Before counting the skillet lasagna (a recipe I just kind of threw together), I was up to 780 calories, so as long as the skillet lasagna (and I had a small portion) wasn't more than 720 calories, I'm golden for the day. :)
I've still been doing my Pinterest workouts and I'm kind of glad the arm workout is almost done for the time being. It's getting sooooooo boring. LOL
I've been trying to create a Facebook fan page for Minus One Hundred, but I'm not very good at this kind of stuff so it's taking me awhile to get it to come together. I'm not a fan of all of the changes that Facebook has made in the last year or so (and yet I'm still on it far too much). So anyway, look forward to that little announcement within the next week or so (I hope). :)
One other thing, I was nominated for the Sunshine Blogger Award by two lovely bloggers and I want to recognize them for their sweetness. Karen at Losing It and Brigid at Babbling Bridge both had nice things to say about my blog. I really appreciate the recognition and I'm going to post more about the award tomorrow. :) Thanks again, ladies!
I eat a lot of "plain" things with not so many ingredients because its easier for me to calculate whats in it :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award :)
ReplyDeleteI know that with me measuring out servings and counting calories with MFP works. You can scan in all of your ingredients and it will figure it all out for you. I'm not sure how many calories you are allowed in a day but I could not imagine "drinking" 390 calories in one day!! I found out quick with counting caloires that I wanted my my calories for food and not drinks. Good luck on your diet.
ReplyDeleteLike I said, it's not figuring out the calories that are a problem - it's figuring out equal serving sizes. Sure, I can split the pot up into 8 bowls and then I'll know it's even, but I guess I'm just too lazy. That's why I like simple meals that you build yourself - like tacos or burritos or salads or burgers. At least then I can measure the separate ingredients out and know exactly what I'm eating. But this has been a summer of very hungry boys (feeding 3 younger boys, an adult man and a baby boy - that's a lot of boys eating) so I'm trying to stretch the almighty dollar and make big pots of food for them to eat. :)
DeleteAlright, Marcia, I am here to whip your rear end into shape regarding that addiction...that Mtn Dew is 170 calories you could use on food that will actually fill you up!! Let it go!! ;) (Sorry, that is a sore point in my life...my older brother used to drink it like water. :p )
ReplyDeleteI think pasta and parmesan sounds great!! Congrats on your nomination!!
