:gulp:

Why one should not assume all brands are the same.

I had mistakenly assumed that all frozen hashbrown patties were created equal.

Not so much.

Can you guess which one this girl's been using in her food journal and which one she's been consuming?

Yeeah.

I cheated on WW with MFP

My own form of "code." Translation: I cheated on Weight Watchers with My Fitness Pal...

...and I liked it.

To recover from my awful breakfast decision and to appease my OCD, planner tendencies so that I can relax and enjoy the remainder of the day knowing there is, in fact, a plan in place and all is not lost (I'm being melodramatic here, of course):



With my exercise today, I'm still looking at a calorie deficit, too, which is definitely good to see. I should point out that typically I eat several times a day and space out my food. I did that with lunch today--1/2 wrap after my walk/run and I'll eat the other half shortly.

Still. ::cringes at carb and fat totals:: Holy CRAP. I had that much FAT for breakfast? I'll have to log my food for a more typical day to show this is very very abnormal for me.

So I innocently logged my food choices and noticed a little button at the bottom of the page telling me to click once I had logged all my food for the day. So I did and up popped this message:

The part I edited out? 5.5 pounds from goal. So MFP, you're telling me that if I continue like today, which started off so horribly, I would be 5ish pounds away from goal by June 23rd when my current goal for that date is 6-7 pounds heavier than your claim?

Well. You seductive little siren you.
