12/3/11 - Basketball and Panera, the first weekend

My eating on weekends is usually dramatically different than that on the weekdays. A notable change is that I don't have that typical McDonald's meal, but the fact that I wake up late, sometimes in the afternoon, means I sometimes only have a pair of meals in the day.

For breakfast I had a Mint Builder Bar and some strawberry Greek yogurt. The strawberry flavor is much better than the key lime and blueberry I've been having recently, and it's also a fruit-on-the-bottom kind, which is nice. Sometimes the fruit chunks are a little big though, and have an odd texture because of the skin or seeds, so it's not always a plus.

After breakfast I got a text from a friend inviting me to go play basketball at the CoRec, where we found a couple other guys to make a team. Our first game went very well, mostly because of the two strangers we got to join our team of physicists, and then we lost the second game to a group of people who clearly knew how to play. I haven't played basketball in years, and never in any organized way, so unfortunately I wasn't much of a help to the team; I think the other side noticed and just stopped guarding me eventually when they realized I never tried to get the ball or shoot, and just defended against them. 30 minutes of shooting as warm-up and 30 minutes of playing the two games gave me 516 extra calories to use.

For lunch, I biked over to Panera to enjoy some of the wonderful weather we've been experiencing, and got a wonderful lunch of Steak Chili in a sourdough bread bowl, a bowl of BBQ chicken salad, and a baguette. It's a very carb heavy meal, and my stomach is definitely full. After realizing how far over-budget I went last night, I'm sort of regretting eating so much now, but the past is done so I can just move forward.
Total calories: 1360

Stopping here for the day, I'm left with 2140 calories for tomorrow to finish off the week without going over budget, which is just shy of my normal daily allowance. Despite the enormous hit last night, I'm feeling a little better about things now that I see that the week isn't ruined.

OVERALL: 1274 net calories.

EDIT: Ended up being really hungry in the late night, so I had another Builder Bar to tide me over to the next day. 270 calories, leaving me with 1870 for tomorrow.

OVERALL 1544 net calories
