P3 Day 8 - Oh, the Fat!

It's strange to be eating all the fat. I still have a dieter's mentality in a lot of ways and cringe at all the fat I'm ingesting (I am trying very hard to work through this dogma). I think back to the days of staying within 1200 calories and 30 fat grams. Someone on the boards mentioned "getting rid of the Weight Watcher's ideology" and there's something to be said around that. Today I was around the 100 fat gram range and I'll be surprised if there isn't a significant change in my weight, tomorrow (only up .2 from yesterday, sort of. I got back on the scale and it reflected the same weight as yesterday. Since I try to record the first amount, then there was actually the .2lb increase).

The extra fat came from beef dogs and sausage links. The sausage was just part of breakfast, but the beef dogs were sort of a splurge with hubby (he's home and normally we'd splurge with cheesecake...instead I splurged on protein). I checked the stats online for Nathan's before we did it, just to be on the safe side. Actually, we opted for salads over the dogs but once we bit into those salads? Ugh! They were bland, bland, bland. Who knew a Southwest salad could be bland? That's when, we ordered the dogs. Too bad. If the salad had been good, I'm sure I would have been satisfied with it.

Amongst all the eating, I was more active today than I've been in a while. We went to two parks, played Frisbee, walked the neighborhood and did some shopping. I hope this offsets any damage I may have incurred. I recorded some activity below, but it was far more than what I recorded. I just don't really have a handle on how much it really was. Oh, well.

Here's what else I had on my high fat day:
