BuffyBear's Journal, 04 April 2013

Wow, that is a lot of calories! Are you trying to gain weight? 3500 calories/day will probably lead to weight gain. Unless, of course, you are burning >4000 calories a day!! Good luck! Just thought I would put this out there! 

You meant to say 1350/day. I checked your food journal. I'm still going over my limit and not entering in the evenings. Gotta get out of this rut. You're doing great so I think I'll follow suit. love ya MOM! 

Hahaha - I was like, Holy cow!!!! I want to eat 3500 calories/day!! :) 

NCNOLE, Dboza & Erika - I got called away in the middle of writing this and got back to the shop to catch your comments. It has now been edited to 1350. Thanks for your patience!  

LOL. Great job, Buffy, on the edit and on the total cals.  

Dboza - evenings are hard for me too. Have you ever tried logging in your dinner early? Then all you have to do is eat from your menu (and nothing more)and you have your evening free to do whatever you like.  

Erika - I've eaten 3500 before!  

Heather - Thank you. Just think how much I could eat if I worked out like you!  

I don't seem to be able to work out enough to make 3500/day possible. Would that I were Michael Phelps or Lance Armstrong (maybe Michael Phelps). 

LOL>..can't resist chiming in here...3500 a day is totally within my capabilities, not proud of it, but it is way to easy. 1350, good for you...I am totally struggling with 1500 (still)! 

GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

LOL as I've certainly had my 3500 cal days too! You definitely have the hang of it, my dear... even if you do make the occasional typo:)! 

Heather - Michael Phelps does have that reputation for packing away the food - LOL  

GG - I LOVE to eat so watching the calories is so hard. Glad I didn't tally what I packed away on Easter.  

Lizzy - you too! 

Ruth - I do type on here between phone calls, etc. so must finish quickly - but I am absolutely mortified by some of my typos! Would be best for me to slow down.  

Buffy....that salad dressing you listed in yesterday's journal seems like just the thing for me. Tried some last night and thought it was pretty darn good...will just use slightly more tonight to further disguise the taste of the greens - LOL! BTW...I too could eat 3500/day pretty easily, esp if it included peanut butter! 

Sandy - Glad you liked the salad dressing. Now, go erase the thought of peanut butter from your mind.  

Good job Buffy! Keep up the good work. I need something to give me a jolt so I'm back outside walking since the weather is good (today anyway). Hope your weekend is spectacular!!! 

I could so eat 3500 calories in a day! Cake, cookies, brownies, nachos, cheese, fettuccini Alfredo, and candy bars...pretty sure I went way over! Lol! Hugs, Buffy!
