I confess - I love Timbits

Printer friendly version Posted on: Wednesday August 12 04:43:24 PM
I confess - I love Timbits OK, first off, I am really really upset with two people today. Someone in our office was late this morning. It's customary for us to pick up snacks, treats of Starbucks when we are late. Well, she brought Timbits..The 40 pack. I ate 13. So you guessed it, the 2nd person I am mad at is myself.

Hey...Let's do some Math!


Amount Per Serving
Calories 50
% Daily Value*
Total Fat 2.0g 3%
Saturated Fat 1.0g 5%
Sodium 40mg 2%
Total Carbohydrates 9.0g 3%
Sugars 4.0g
Protein 1.0g

Multiply  x 13 Timbits = 650 calories..it's actually more. 3 of them were Chocolate Cake Timbits at 70 calories each. Add another 60 to the total and we're over 700! Well, not we. I shouldn't include you in my fess!

Thank god I have been good with the rest of today's food intake thus far.

I have no excuse. (Excuses are the nails used to build the house of failure!) I have a reason. Weakness and I can change that. I plan to right now and confessing here is the start.

This is not the only slip up lately. In a time where my mileage has dropped from 100+ kms per week to approximately  50-80 kms, I should be matching that with reduced calorie intake but I haven't. In fact, today was supposed to be a good day I promised myself to get back in the zone. I need to as I am looking for anything to give me a boost in energy. Sometimes I just need that one good day to get back on track. 'Tomorrow" has been the starting point too often, and is the common fault of most people trying to improve a health habit, be it smoking or snacking or exercising. Tomorrow comes and a new tomorrow is there for the plans to be put off.

It has to be today, it has to be now.
