It's official: I need to log what I eat if I don't want to be completely out of control. Especially when I'm PMSing (which has been going on so long, I'm starting to wonder if I'm either pregnant or going through" the change".lol). Good GAWD I have not been eating well over the past 12 days.
Recap since my last post:
*I have switched to decaffienated coffee, with absolutely no effects! Also, I have cut back slightly on the beer consumption. That should get better at least in the short term, because my hubby is "on the wagon" for a little while. Whenever he quits drinking, I naturally cut back too, because I no longer have that pressure to have a beer with him nearly every evening.
*My workouts have been great-- high intensity most days, and 5 or 6 days/week.
5:30am...smoothie with a banana, handfull of strawberries and a scoop of Chuck's whey protein powder (I ran out ov my Vega powder yesterday and haven't been able to get to the store); cup of decaf coffee with Silk creamer
7:30am...large portion of stir-fry (asparagus, zucchini, onions, peppers, mushrooms & tempeh) with cous cous
11am four animal crackers and two Town House crackers...ugh
11:30am... medium-sized portion of swiss chard, golden beets and green peas (from Clean Eating cookbook...not my favorite dish, but healthy as hell)
1pm... an apple and two cuties
2:30pm... bag of in-shell peanuts
4:30pm... a banana with some almond butter
5pm... a Bobo's Oat Bar
I don't know why I'm eating so much. This is way more food than I need. PMS is a terrible excuse but it's all I've got. :) Oh one other lame excuse is that I've been working out hard...but still -- I need to do be MUCH more conscious of how much I eat.
7:45pm... two bites of the tempeh yam pot pie that I made up, using a stew
recipe that I tweaked into a pie. I'll eat it for lunch tomorrow and/or the next
day. It's a store-bought pie crust, and the filling has tempeh, yams, carrots,
celery, onions, some oregano, fake chicken stock, arrowroot and a bay leaf).
Exercise...
5:30am - 45-min full-body group session
