Another Holiday weekend - another catch-up

I had stated last week that I would not be counting calories New Year's Eve or New Year's Day. I stuck to that - but just now finished adding foods to MyPlate for what I did eat over those 2 days. I did an excellent job! Even with my drinks NYE.

I don't think I ever posted my stuff for Wednesday - important stats for that is total calories 1869. No workout, though. 

Here are my full stats for Thurs, Fri, and Saturday:

Thursday, 12/30:

• total calories: 1550
• calories burned: 350 - made it to the gym!
• 0 cigarettes
• 11:30pm bedtime
• $7 spent on lunch

Friday, 12/31:

• total calories: 2017 including all alcohol. 
• maybe about 100 calories or so burned from playing a little bit of Just Dance at our party.
• more cigarettes than I can possibly count... at LEAST a whole pack's worth. Eff. It was awful. Plus being up til almost 6am.. Jesus. Never again. NEVER AGAIN.
• 6am bedtime.. I want to die just reading that.
• $0 spent

Saturday, 1/1:

• total calories: 1809 - went to mom's for "junk food" dinner. I mostly just ate cocktail shrimp lol.
• no workout, I'm surprised I was even still able to function after my late "night".
• 4 or 5 cigarettes at my mom's
• 12am bedtime
• $0 spent

So, one quick thing: I got my Heart Rate Monitor from amazon the other day - SUPER excited about that. It counts calories and all that stuff too, so tomorrow when I hit the gym I'm gonna strap that baby on and see what my actual calorie count is for my routine. Very excited!!

I already know I'm going to go over my 1900 calories for today because I was so bad and had Starbucks pastry for breakfast WITH a chai.. that was over half my caloric intake for the day right there.

I'm not really a New Year's resolution kind of girl, but there is one thing I started last night - journaling. Like real, actual, not-a-blog, take a pen and write in a notebook journaling. I think this will really help with my mental health. I'm pretty excited about it actually. :)  I hope I'll keep up with it.

Aside from staying up for 24 hours straight, my New Year has started off pretty awesome. We went and see Harry Potter 7 today, which was SUPER AWESOME. Yesterday was spent with family, and then snuggling into bed with my hubby last night felt so awesome after being up all night the night before. I'm looking forward to starting the new week with a trip to the gym tomorrow and getting some laundry done!

2011 for me is going to be about focusing on the simple things and the important things. Less dramatics, more family values. I'll expand a little bit more on this maybe tomorrow.

Happy New Year!!!
