Snow Blowing And Super Bowl Planning

Tonight I'll be attending a Super Bowl party so my plan is to have a 450 calories breakfast, have about 300 for lunch and leave the rest (1100) for tonight. I'll be sure to keep my pre-dinner grazing controlled and keep a mental note of calories consumed. Hopefully they'll have a nice veggie platter which I can use as home base. I've been through 3 other parties in the past 4 weeks, I can get through this once as well.

Yesterday I spent close to 2 hours outside doing snow cleanup. I used the snow blower on 2 driveways working at it for about 90 minutes total. MyNetDairy says that I burned 1300 calories. I found another website that said it was about 900. Either way it was a good calorie burn. I can tell because I'm sore as hell this morning. I felt very hungry around 4pm after finishing these activities so I worked a 300 calorie snack into my intake. Didn't feel guilty because I had burnt off so many calories earlier in the day. It was a nice feeling to eat something only because my body needed it.

    Have a light, healthy snack before you go and drink lot's of water. That way when you get there you won't be starving and less likely to go hog wild. Good Luck

  2. Two birds with one stone practical movement! Yay! I shoveled and moved about a dump truck full of tiny pea gravel last year over the course of two days and I was sweatin' the whole time. And then parts of our dog run and yard weren't all mud. I REALLY like that I can help my family(hubby) with these types of chores now. It feels good.

  3. Good on you for all that calorie burning! And the sore muscles are only a sign of the burn. Try looking for other ways to burn calories too :o)

    Good luck at the party. You can do it :o)

  5. LOL, my crutch last night was the vegetable tray and I ate enough of it that I was satisfied with having only 3 hot wings. Not that I didn't want more wings, but at least I wasn't hungry.
