So, I am counting calories, which allows me to have sweets from time to time, I just have to eat less somewhere else during the day. I still enjoy a fancy coffee here or there. Well, my bright idea today was to have a small milk shake from McDonalds. My friend Kristen and I thought we could get a small milkshake and then just have a salad for lunch. Lets be honest, it was my idea and I talked her into it. Not a bad idea, right? I should have looked up the calories before I purchased it and drank 'er down. Guess how many calories are in a small, 12 oz, chocolate milk shake...
wait for it.......
580!!!!!!
maybe that is common knowledge and I am just naive but I was thinking around 300 calories at the most in one of those little milk shakes. Holy cow, I have been having an awesome week and now I just feel disgusted with myself. Tomorrow is my day to weigh myself and I really want to see some progress after only losing 1/2 lb last week and the high calorie weekend I had. Time to get moving and burn some extra calories.
