Holy rain Batman! I was up for several hours in the night due to incredible thunder storms. And, my boss text me at 4am letting me know her flight was canceled and I didn't need to be there at 5:30 but that my normal 7am would be fine. Ok, reset the alarm and attempt to go back to sleep...yeah, it didn't work...tired. And didn't get in my Insanity video before work like I had wanted to..gotta fit it in today.
Breakfast: A hearty plate of sweet potato hash with kale and two eggs. A few slices of bacon and sliced banana and blackberries. Yum. Busy day today, needed to start off on the right foot.
Snacking: It's Bible Study day. Everyone was eating bowls of popcorn, m&m's and apparently there are some delicious buffalo flavored wheat thins I've been missing out on...ugh. I had tuna in celery and a clementine (please excuse the chippy nail polish...in desperate need of removal)
Lunch: Met Hannah at Moody today for a lunch date so had to pack the cooler with all my food (my snack was in here as well) and I brought some meatloaves for Josh since I was coming to Moody anyway. My lunch was sliced yellow pepper, egg salad and cucumber, tomato, onion, avocado, cilantro lime salad...yum! Some nuts and a veggie pouch...beetbox berry today. Not ideal nutritionally maybe, but I think it was a success for being on the go all day.
Snacking: Well, a kombucha and some fruit...DANG IT! Why am I so tempted by the fruit?!?! Ugh...try again tomorrow...
Dinner: Made paleo beef stew so I could eat with the girls, it was delicious...nice big chunks of meat, carrots, celery, onions, tomatoes, and peas. The girls had garlic cheese biscuits and I had sweet potato crisps and asparagus. Don't think it was quite enough protein, but its what it was.
Workout: I'm headed to do the Cardio Recovery video now...the girls are getting ready for bed...I'll post about the workout when I'm done. Ok, the workout went well...I even had an audience for a few minutes...Pho came down to grab something and stood watching me. I decided I'd better really make sure I was doing exactly what Shaun T was telling me to or she'd call me out on it. Felt nice to stretch. My hangstring is feeling much better today.
PWM: Ugh...the curse of the fruit continues...I snacked on a few strawberries and grapes while making the girls fruit salad for tomorrow then I decided I'd better really have something beneficial or just go to bed. So I mixed up some almonds, cashews and raisins. Not beneficial. Should have just gone to bed. Read below where I think I went wrong...
Thoughts:
Staying the night with the girls tonight since the dad is in London and the mom just took off for California to see family. It's always a struggle when my regular routine is messed with. At home at least there isn't too much food that tempts me. At work, however, there are multiple kinds of cookies, breads, smart puffs, chips, cheese, cereal, ice cream, pasta...but, I need to learn to stick to my plan no matter where I am. I can't compromise just because the people around me are doing something different...gotta run my own race.
The fruit is my mortal enemy right now. I'm going to try to limit it to breakfast only tomorrow and go back to zero afternoon snacking...not sure why I'm struggling so much with this right now. Spend more time in prayer. That's at the top of my list. Ask for strength because it's obvious I'm not capable of doing it on my own...
I don't like working out at night. I put it off as long as possible and I much prefer to do it in the morning and get it out of the way. But, it's what happened today and nothing I can do about it now.
On to day 19!
PS. I didn't drink enough water today. I have a slight headache. Probably a combination of not enough water and too much sugar (from fruit) gotta kick this habit or the weekend is going to be bad news. Slippery slope I'm on right now. Have another busy day tomorrow so I've already planned out all my meals (NO SNACKING) and packed them up. I don't think I've been eating enough protein and that may be why I'm feeling hungry and craving fruit. I'll work on getting enough protein tomorrow, eating meals at appropriate times and making sure they are big enough to hold me over until the next meal. Also, if you think of it, I'm not above getting support and encouragement throughout the day-feel free to message, email, text or FB me with a reminder not to snack and to keep clear of fruit (besides breakfast) I know I can't do this alone and knowing there are other people out there rooting for me really helps. Thank guys!
