Breakfast - 7:15AM. (I actually have been up since 5:45AM. Vacuumed and dusted mom's house)
Better Oats Steel Cut Oats, TB natural PB, milk, packet of sugar in the raw.
I love the Better Oats oatmeal packets. Better Oats
Snack - I was really hungry by 9am, but held off until 9:30 and had an apple and a hardboiled egg for a snack.
Lunch- Met Chris at college to have lunch with him. It is a buffet, but that can often work to your advantage. I made a big salad with spinach, tomatoes, broccoli and just a little Italian dressing drizzled on it. Also a turkey burger, no bun. About a half cup of plain spiral pasta.
Snack - Tera's Whey protein shake and a few mixed nuts. Less then quarter cup.
Dinner - This evening we made beef kabobs on the grill. There was lots of veggies extra so Chris also grilled those up. I had one kabob (probably about 4 ounces of beef), veggies that had some olive oil on them and a slice of homemade rye bread. (from The Homestead) I did have a half cup of cantaloupe as well. Have to post a pic of the kabobs.
Plan to have a snack of three pieces of organic dark chocolate a bit later.
Day one is over! Had a mild headache most of the day.
Last night was a rough evening for me...I made one really good choice followed by a not so good choice. The not so good choice was not over the top detrimental, but it was more related to stress than hunger. I'm thinking maybe journaling emotions when eating will help me. I've been resistant to that in the past because it just seems like a major pain in the rear end, but if I believe that my emotional state is contributing to this weight gain, I should probably take a look at it to see if it's true.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I like how you are incorporating your hunger cues into your blog. :-)
Thanks, I am really trying to do both. Eat better and eat with hunger cues. Today was a pretty good day, tho, having some sugar withdrawals. Try journaling, Di...I really think it's going to help. I'm not going to do any calorie figuring. I'm just going to go by size of portions..you know, comparing the size of the protein with palm of hand, etc.
ReplyDeleteThis weekend will be a challenge. We go to Indy for Course of Study overnight. I plan to take some snacks Nuts in snack bags, couple apples and some raisens. I have an insulated lunch bag and am also going to take a yogurt and one of my oatmeal packs. Hotel free breakfasts usually don't have very good options.
