Friendleys ultimate grilled cheese burger


Went out to friendleys for fathersday. All burgers were only 5 dollars today. Had to get a burger and I find the "ultimate grilled cheese burger". It's 2 grilled cheese sandwichs with a big 1/2 lb burger sandwiched inbetween. It has 1500 cal and 100g of fat!!! I split it with my wife and added a side of broccoli. That's still 800 cal meal, but if I'm careful the rest of the day I should be ok.

Tired

Didn't get to workout formally yesterday so made sure I got a bit in today. Only 30 min on the elliptical, but was pretty dead after and had to force myself to complete it. Either I'm getting burne out from working out every day or I need more carbs. Anyways I think I'll rest for the rest of the day. Happy fathersday to me.

Drinking your calories.

Been having trouble with staying away from calorie containing drinks. They add calories very quickly without your real awareness. Today I had almost 300 calories in my beverages and yesterday I consumed more. I will continue to try and keep a pact to drink only water or unsweetened coffee or iced tea. Some people like to substitute diet drinks, but I hate the taste and some studies have shown that artificial sweeteners can actually cause you to gain weight. I've heard of people shedding pounds by simply giving up soda. I'm not really a soda drinker though, it's the beer that gets me. Anyways time to give up the beer I guess.

Today was a bit disapointing, didn't get any good workouts in so the exercise is very low.. The Y closes early on the weekend and went out in the day to play at the driving range hense the 20 minutes of driving. High calorie drinks drove my count up some as did it yesterday.. Still drinking alot of water and mostly water with meals, but a beer or two here is still hurting me.
