I must be pms'ing. I am craving lots of food and I would love to eat some brownies and some cake. I usually lean towards fried foods during the week before my "friend." Fried chicken, onion rings, and french fries top the list. I did allow myself a bite of brownie that I purchased yesterday.
I think I ate over 2000 calories today. In a typical workout day, I can burn anywhere from 700-1000 calories in 2 hours. Maybe more but I'm trying to lowball it. I know approximately how many calories I'm burning while I'm doing cardio and then I try to estimate how hard my class was. Monday was over 1000, yesterday was maybe 800, today was around 800. I'm tired already. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical at a higher resistance than I normally do. Then I did a class - it was a light warmup then we worked on throwing a tight roundhouse kick. This kick comes in from hand range and doesn't require much hip turnover. Then we did calisthenics. I jumped rope for 12-13 minutes, then another 18 minutes of cardio on the elliptical. I am tired because I wore heels today and my feet hurt and I had to stay an hour late at the hospital.
It's funny, my gf normally never takes the subway. Today she took the subway and actually had to walk around to do her errands. When she's tired, she doesn't hold back. She makes it absolutely 100% clear that she's sooooo tired from walking around all day. It's funny to me because that's what I do every day. I run to the subway, transfer, walk 4 avenues over, stand on my feet most of the day, run 4 avenues over to the subway, get off at Canal Street, walk another few blocks, then exercise 2 hours, then run across the street, wolf down some dinner in 5 minutes, run for the subway, run for a transfer, and then scamper home. So I do a lot of walking every day but I'm never that cranky or expressive about how tired I am. It's sort of annoying because it almost feels like such an act.

It's good that you don't bitch about being tired. We all know you are and I think it's funny as shit that your gf does too! My wife can do the smae things sometimes.
