I was so hungry, and H was still in bed. I told him I was leaving.
I went to Taco Bell. BUT...
I Sharecared first. I went on Sharecare and looked up the individual calorie information for all of the food at Taco Bell. I compared the amount of calories with the things that I usually get. Did you know that a chicken quesadilla is over 500 calories?!?! Umm, I don't think so.
I wound up getting a Pintos and Cheese and a Crunchwrap Supreme. 700 calories in all, but I only had about 100 calories this morning. I didn't take a picture of it as I am not supremely proud of my excursion. (Hahaha, see what I did there? "Supreme"ly?)
I went ahead and picked up H's favorite Subway sandwich. He is still asleep though, so that will probably be his supper. My hubby feels so grungy that he actually took a pill I offered him. Usually it is like pulling teeth to get him to take medicine!!!
I also went to Publix. I got a salmagundi *I love that word!* of fruits. 4 different kinds of pears, an orange, a tangerine, a mango, some kiwi, bananas. I also got some egg beaters, Laughing Cow Cheese, Plain Fage yogurt, and Activia Vanilla Yogurt.
The main reason that we went into Publix was because I was thirsty. As I stood staring at the fruit juice, I knew that plain mango juice just would not suffice. I had to get something lighter. I drink water all day long. To get something that thick, I probably would not enjoy it very much... And then I saw it!!! My thirst salvation!!! Bom Dia Coconut Splash.
Coconut water with mango flavor. Yes!!!! It was exactly what I wanted! It quenched my thirst entirely. And for only 60 calories per 8 fluid oz, it has much fewer calories than other juices - about a third of orange juice. Plus coconut is super good for you. Don't believe me? Check this out.

I learned new things. I am sure you will too :)
I have about 400 calories left for the day, unless I do P90X, which I meant to do this morning. Even so, I will probably just have a big salad. With pear!
Libby, try chocolate coconut water...it tastes just like chocolate milk and is delicious!
ReplyDeleteI got the Bom Dia at Publix. Where did you get the chocolate one?
