I have such a busy day today...working 7am-7pm and have a dinner after work for a dear friend's birthday. I walked out the door with 6 bags this morning...here are my breakfast, lunch and dinner bags...
Breakfast: Paleo pancakes topped with berries and the pecan/coconut mixture, bacon, sweet pots and some broccoli. Had a little extra time today since I was taking the girls to the dentist instead of school this morning. Made a double batch of pancakes so I have some for the weekend too.
Pre-Workout Meal: Ok, I don't even know if there is such a thing, but I was getting rather hungry leading up to my workout. I spent almost 2 hours at the dentist with the ladies, stopped at sbux to get them a snack (got myself a tea) and by the time I dropped them off at school and was headed to babysitting I wasn't sure I'd make it through the workout without anything. All I had in the car was a banana. So that's what I ate.
Workout: Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs. The Pure Cardio part went really well...I mean, besides having my computer propped up on a foldout bed and working out on carpet...but cardio abs wasn't so great...I actually had to stop the video about halfway through because my back was hurting so much I couldn't continue. Ugh. Dislike. But, on the bright side...that's the first workout I haven't been able to complete and I'm already 26 days into this. I feel pretty good about that.
Lunch: Quickly made my chicken fajita salad and beef stew before the screaming baby woke up. But, I forgot to pack an avocado this morning so my salad is quite dry...not ideal. Having a kombucha as well. I anticipate being hungry this afternoon as I'm missing the important healthy fats from my absent avocado. I'll do the best I can not to snack.
Snacking: I'm basically the worst. I know my hunger is insatiable today because I'm hormonal but this is ridiculous...I can't even post enough photos...I'll just give you a list:
Almonds/cashews and golden raisins: several handful
A banana
An apple sauce pouch
A veggie pouch
Some more nuts/raisins
Ugh...this is not the plan!
Dinner: My stomach hasn't been feeling well today-I think that's part of the snacking...normally I'd just eat a bowl or two of cereal or have some bread when I feel like this and that would be enough. I think I need to stop drinking kombucha, my tummy feels acidic and all I can think of is eating some carbs to make it feel better. But clearly I know carbs aren't going to make it feel better, that's just an emotional response. So, nuts, raisins, banana...but nothing helped. I ended up not being able to make the dinner I was planning on attending because of a bunch of different reasons and though I wasn't even planning on eating dinner at the dinner (I was going to make spaghetti squash and chicken sausage before hand) I was bummer I couldn't go. I made the closest thing to "comfort carbs" I could think of...scrambled eggs and some sliced avocado. Oh, and another handful of nuts! What's my problem?!?!
Thoughts:
Well, clearly I failed at the no snacking today. And I'm so mad at myself about it. I only have a few days left of the W30 and I still haven't mastered this no snacking business. I know I need to just get over it and STOP SNACKING but it's just not that easy. Tomorrow is a new day...another chance to NOT snack.
I'm off to bed early tonight. I'm super exhausted and the girls are all coming down with colds and the oldest has the flu...wanna make sure I don't get that. More sleep it is!
