Big Savings!!!! money and calories....

So far so good! I figured out that on the way to work, I have saved myself for the past 7 days.... 4830 calories, 126 grams of fat and $29.61!!! I can't believe how many calories I was eating by letting McDonalds make my lunch for me before work! I was just so easy to stop, now I am getting up a little earlier and eating cereal or yogurt.

Then I started thinking about on the way home from work....aka....loyal taco bell customer lol I figure I was eating there after work about 4 times a week. Now I am saving myself 5280 calories, 184 grams of fat, and approx $24.

It was startling after looking at the amount of extra calories I was eating since I was eating dinner at work.... and we all know that isn't even healthy. After looking at the number of 10,110 EXTRA calories.... WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!!!! I guess I didn't realize how much savings... calories, grams of fat (310) and MONEY ($53.61) i was consuming and am now saving instead!

If they say that every 3500 calories creates a pound.... thank you taco bell/mcd's thats like 2.88lbs per week i've gained!!!!!

The hardest part of this was for me to get the motivation to start cooking, but that seems to be going a little better. Yesterday I bbq'd and today I made shrimp and angel hair pasta. The shrimp was cooked w/ butter and was kinda crispy, not to be confused w/ burnt... ok over done... lol I'll get the hang of it!

Great job to everyone! I think it makes it easier not to cheat w/ everyone on here, because I don't want to have to write that I cheated and I don't want my car egged---Jaime... lol haaa

Look at you doing math too! I'm so proud of you! I'm so glad that you are using this to become healthy, it's crazy what we were doing to ourselves. Just so you know I wouldn't egg your car it'd be too dang expensive I'd have to buy a bucket of em before you noticed I did it. :) Just know that I'm so proud of you!

Can I tell you that I'm still wondering who the heck did the math for you. I know that the brain age didn't get you that far. :)
