Matt's Diary pt 2 Electric Boogaloo

I hope you're starting to feel better. Also - I know this was a couple of days ago but still - how is one piece of tiramisu 1040 calories?! That's two thirds of the whole tray where I buy it :eek:

I mean it wasn't huge but it wasn't tiny either. I'm wondering if they got it wrong?

Sadly, probably not. Almost all companies are very much trying to put the lowest possible calories on their packaging. Maybe they used pure cream instead of mascarpone?

I felt better so I went into work. I hadn't realized I had eaten that much in the last 2 days so I was surprised I had gained weight. Also I decided to walk since I've felt better. I was happy that I was able to avoid the vending machine, though I wonder if the Oatmeal Squares replaced that. I was also excited because Thursday was the premiere of Strange New Worlds.

I don't know, it said they used Mascarpone in the menu, I wonder if it was just a larger portion. I know it was bigger then the Tiramisus I've gotten at this other Italian restaurant I go to every once in a while.
 
It does add up quickly: a cube with 2 inch sides is a good-sized portion already, calorie-wise.
Good to hear you're feeling better and were able to walk to work.

I forgot to mention I attempted to make a Frittata, though on the stove. Unfortunately I think I added too much spinach and it tasted kind of gross.

Next time I get in the mood to eat various foods and eat them in the same day, I'm going to remember today because I overate and I felt sick.
 
Just make tomorrow a better day again. Maybe count your calories up before you eat/order them? It looks like they surprise you sometimes.

I tried but failed to avoid going to Dash-In for lunch. We had a power outage for 8 hours so I couldn't cook anything, so I finished the oat squares. I was so mad about having no power I decided to walk some more.

There was another power failure so I decided to go into the office. I had vending machine food unfortunately as well as a sandwich from Wawa since I couldn't make anything due to not have any power. Also I couldn't walk due to it raining. Thankfully the power was on when I got home, well it was half on, I had to turn the switches on and off in the circuit box.
