Super Bowl Bloat
While the Brothers Harbaugh took sibling rivalry to the next level, I was busy letting myself go on a calorie-soaked feast.
I know that we were supposed to stick to our carrots + hummus, hinting to the gluttons around us that we won’t use an artificial holiday as an excuse to go crazy—hoping that they might ask us about our diet, or offer a forced compliment.
Not me. I went all out.

And I also had a couple beers + a coke for an additional 523 calories for a total 2387 calories.
gasp
I was shocked too when I made the total. Stuffed. Bloated.
But there’s more
- I also did 1 hr 20 min of cardio + strength training yesterday for a 1300 calorie burn. Did I undo the work I did at the gym? Maybe. In a sense, yes. But in another sense, I knew I knew I wasn’t going to be eating bulgur wheat when I watched the game.
- I’ll be drinking a keg of water today to flush my bod.
- Logging the calories made me aware of why I only eat food like this and in these amounts on rare occasions. It used to not be so rare. Rare. Medium-rare. Steak. MMMm
- If I pay for Sunday with my weigh-in numbers on Friday, so be it. I’m not in this for the week to week. (I hope I’m honest in saying that)
- I was still up @ 5 am for the morning sweat + high protein breakfast. Letting myself go during the came ended when the confetti fell like my drawers when I step on the scale on Fridays.
In a year, I might change so much that next Superbowl I’ll be drinking beet shakes and shoveling bean sprouts into my mouth.
Who knows?
I’m not going to dwell on yesterday. I’m going to refill my water bottle.
So what?! You logged it. You’re aware of it. Today is a new day… let’s do this!
Thanks Janice. Today we had free pizza at work. I overdid it. Major relapse.
I may be sweating again at the gym tonight aka Pizza Purgatory.
I found your blog a couple days ago and I’ve really been enjoying your posts! I like your attitude, seems like you’ve got a realistic approach that’s really refreshing to read about. Keep it up you’re gonna crush it!
Meg welcome. Glad you’ve enjoyed it so far.
When I get a chance I’m gonna check out your site but from the looks of your logo I have a feeling I’m about to enjoy some good design.
Glad you ENJOYED yourself! You’re brave to log it, I’m not sure I could do it to be honest…. Thanks for sharing! Enjoy your water kegger
I took an honesty queue from you.
Also I’m water wasted
Ah…shit. Sorry to hear this.
I absolutely hate when this happens to anyone because I know how easy it is to dive in to the smorgasbord. 
Up on the wagon and down with the pounds now, right?!
It happened last night and again today at lunch. Gonna make myself sweat it out tonight as penance.
Yeah back to it. I will post a loss this week. The fat fry show must go on.
LOL! “Penance.” That’s exactly the word I use for it when I enjoy myself more than I know I should (and wake up hating myself the next day). But man…sometimes that penance feels so good……
