Sinful Indulgence: Our Weekly Confessions (7/4/10)

Kal and I had a great weekend and got sidetracked with watching Trueblood and cooking (new recipes!) and bus adventures so I'm sorry this post was delayed until today BUT we're writing this at Headquarters (Kal's apartment) so I can finally put up some updates and pictures!!!!!!)

 First things first:

Amanda
Forgive me blog father for I have sinned, it has been 8 days since my last confession. This week I indulged and must repent to the readers.

• Half of a giant cookie (=6 regular chocolate chip cookies) = 665 calories
• Chicken strips and shared poutine = 940 calories for entire meal, lol no cheating
• Approx 1 cup of semi-sweet chip-its = 1280 calories (OMG math scares me at 80 cal per tbsp)
• Hula bear sugar cookie with icing bikini = 260 calories 
• Sour Watermelon slices/Fuzzy Peaches = 280 calories
• They were out of Iced Coffee mix so I had a medium Iced capp made with milk...that's +110 calories over my replacement drink.

Total Damage =  3535 calories
HOLY SHIT! I actually feel really terrible about this because at first I honestly didn't think I did too bad this week. That is over a POUND of fat's worth of calories.....but I lost half a pound this week so I guess I'm still doing ok.

Kalon
This week has been my first week that I've gained weight. I wasn't expecting to do so poorly, so I am disappointed in myself.

• Half of a giant cookie (=6 regular chocolate chip cookies) = 665 calories
• 2 Girl Scout Cookies (150)
• Fish and Chips and Poutine (+600)
• Sour Watermelon slices/Fuzzy Peaches = 280 calories
• Bottle of 7up (1.5L) = 634
• +2 Beers Over Weekly Amount (290)
  

Total Count: 2619

I think I did worse skipping exercise rather than eating worse. Here's to another busy week. At least I did better than Amanda.

Weekend Update 

FIREWORKS
Canada day Fireworks were awesome and romantic!! and No junk food was consumed!

LONG LOST SQUASH PHOTOS
I was so excited when I got my squash gear and Kal was going to teach me how to play! I felt like a pro in my hot pink shorts, goggles and racket....I even have a head sweat band now...hellz yes!

THREE CATEGORIES OF GROCERY SHOPPING
I recently noticed that when Kal and I shop...there seems to be a pattern. There are three types of item purchased when we shop.

1. Food that is to be cooked and eaten together. Yep all that delicious and wonderful bonding time spent preparing and eating food together.
2. Kal's food. This includes his favourites and the stuff he uses for lunches and work. The thing is these also appear delicious to me...which brings us to the most recently discovered category of food...
3. DECOY PRODUCTS. These are somewhat equally delicious foods but purchased and strategically placed in the cupboard as to distract me from Kal food and thus prevent me from eating it.
