so pretty much i think i am FINALLY starting to understand a super sonic basic concept. you'd think i would especially have already understood it since it's a topic i talk about pretty much every day of my life.
sometimes i like to go to the gym. other days, honestly, i really really don't. i ALWAYS love to exercise but sometimes i'm just so TIRED. my body HURTS. etc.. when i go to the gym i wear this nifty thing called a bodybugg. what is a bodybugg you ask? have you ever seen the biggest loser?? all the contestants wear a little black strappy looking thing on their arm. that's a bodybugg. it tells you how many calories you burn through out the day, steps you've taken, and minutes of moderate activity. i love it (it's too bad it's expensive, but that's what happens when something is too legit)!
anyways, sometimes i pack a snack for school on my longer days. on monday i had this brilliant idea to take an apple. BUT, what's an apple if you can't dip it in peanut butter?? so i take a little JIF to go cup and was all hunky dory about it when it just CLICKED. this little baby cup of peanut butter=250 calories. say what?! and i thought i was being healthy for choosing the apple and peanut butter over cheetohs or something...my BABY CUP of peanut butter was going to cots me my WHOLE workout.
yaaaa. like remember that time when i woke up at 4:45 this morning and then got on a bike and worked my little tush off to the point where i thought my legs may or may not still be there when i look down at the pedals for them??? SOOOOO not worth it. needless to say, i have been a lot better about choosing my calories.
here are some pictures for your enjoyment. (please excuse my face from the pictures as i have just gotten home from the gym and look WAY too awesome to put it in front of a camera)
peanut butter baby cup, i love you. but not enough to "fake" work out. for realz.
love, morgs
I always have so much to say to you...and there is never enough time (Still mad about that last comment! :))
ReplyDeleteBut as for Peanut Butter...it is amazing how fast those little things add up...However...that still is a WAY healthier snack than a bag of cheetos! :) In fct that's why weight watchers just redid their whole program...because they used to charge "1 point" for fruit (you had like 20 points a day)...well then they started coming out with all these 100 pack snacks and such that were also "1 point" so everyone is choosing that point over an apple point...get where this is going?? obviously the apple is more healthy...has more nutrients...fiber...good stuff...but in the points world it was all the same (to the consumer)...now all fruit is free...so point being...while yes that is a lot of calories for a little thing of pb...there is more nutrition in PB than in vending machine stuff...what i like to do is buy the all natural organic PB from Costco...drain the oil...and then it hardly has any fat...and it's only the good fat...
we will have to chat more about this later!!! Have a great night! And I am SO glad you join me at the gym at 4:45...it's a beautiful sight to see!!
