Later night last night and when that alarm when off at five, I snoozed it a couple times and then decided to work out after work instead of before. I got to sleep in until 6:15. I got up ready to put together my stuffed peppers in the crockpot, but when I looked at the brown rice, it takes 30-40 minutes to cook it, so I didn't have time to put it together.
Breakfast was 2 pieces of light wheat toast with 1.5 TB peanut butter and 3/4 cup cottage cheese. Morning snack was a cup of grapes and 3/4 cups of cottage cheese. Lunch was 2 tacos with the chicken/bean mixture from last night with 1.5 TB sour cream and half of a cucumber. For afternoon snack at work, I had an apple, a piece of string cheese, and a half of a cucumber. I also had 3 tootsie roll suckers. After school, I followed through and worked out, though my knee was bothering me a bit and my ankle occasionally. My coach thinks it might be too much too fast. I think I'm going to back off the leg machines a little and double up on the upper body ones, like she suggested.
In the evening, I had a couple cups of cheerios, 3/4 cups of cheddar cheese, a peanut butter sandwich with 2 TB strawberry jam. For dinner, Paul made me a hamburger with pineapple, mushroom, and lettuce on light whole wheat bread. I had 10 glasses of water. My pedometer reading today was 6356.
Aaaand after the post I had one of Paul's special K bars, another peanut butter sandwich, and a piece of bread with butter. Sigh. Didn't want to record them here, but I want to look back in 6 months and have an accurate picture of where I was. Hopefully my habits will be starting to change by then.
If you don't rest your knee & heal it, you won't want to walk. Does your gym have a stationary bike? MUCH easier on your knees. Or, use a rowing machine.
ReplyDeleteWhen you cook the rice, you can freeze leftovers into small boil-in bag portions for future dinners.
Sometimes I'll cook half the day on Saturday or Sunday and freeze food for lunches & dinners later in the week.
Do you have a blender? You can make killer smoothies in 5 mins. Yogurt, almond milk, frozen fruit, wheat germ (or ground flax seeds or chia seeds) and a scoop of whey protein powder will get you through to your morning snack.
If you're tired, sleep! Your body is going through withdrawal & cleaning up & that uses energy.
YOURE DOING GREAT!!! One day at a time.
I agree, your doing great! I am impressed that you post everything that you eat through the day, that is not an easy task nor is it one that I would want to share. :)
