My Food and Exercise Log: Good Workout, Bad Food, Ughh!

Red Lobster, Teriyaki Grilled Shrimp, 1 skewer - 140 cals

Today I burned 855 calories in the gym which quickly went to waste when I got tempted to join my family for dinner at Red Lobster. 

Between the biscuits, salad dressings, butter and all those toppings at restaurants, one can easily rack up a pound which is 3,500 calories. I ate 1,662 calories... just at Red Lobster today! Check out my food and exercise calories below:

Breakfast - 170 cals

Breyers Yo Crunch Lowfat Yogurt - 170 cals

Lunch - 480 cals

Campbell's Spaghettios Meatballs - 480 cals

(Cans are tricking. At first glance you look and say 'oh, it's only 200 something calories,' but then the serving size is almost 2, so this is almost double in calories for the whole can.  When counting calories, make sure to correctly count by checking serving sizes. Eating the Spaghettios wasn't worth it.)

Dinner - 1,662 cals

Red Lobster Endless Shrimp:

Parmesan Shrimp -  250 cals

Shrimp Scampi, 2 portions - 360 cals

Teriyaki Grilled Shrimp, 1 skewer - 140 cals

Baked Potato w/ butter and sour cream - 340 cals

Cheddar Bay Biscuit - 150 cals

Caesar Salad - 270 cals

Sutter Home Moscato, 6 oz. - 152 cals

Water - 7 cups

Cardio Exercise - 855 cals burned

60 mins on the Treadmill, 50 mins, 3.40 miles - 525

Elliptical, 10 mins, 0.80 miles - 100

Stationary Bike, 32 mins, 5.40 miles - 230

and I did strength exercises

Total Calories Consumed - 2,312

I ate wayyy too many calories today. I normally stay between 1,200 - 1,500 a day. Now I feel totally guilty and I'm thinking if I would've swapped the baked potato for broccoli, passed on the cheddar biscuits, passed on the wine and stuck to water. 

Maybe if I didn't order the 'Endless Shrimp' special in which I kept ordering shrimp refill after refill, I could have easily avoided this high calorie intake. But, it's too late, all the food is already settled in my stomach and I just have to bounce back and have better control for the rest of the week. And today wasn't even my cheat day!
