Helping me stay on track…

not so good today….

• 7:00 am - oatmeal, cinnamon, raisins
• 9:00 am - gym
• 11:00am - 4 egg whites, 2 slices whole grain toast, string cheese
• 2:00pm - kashi granola bar
• 5:00pm - pure protein bar
• 7:00pm - cheese and kashi crackers
• 7:30pm - salad (baby spinach, couscous, cucumbers, grape tomatoes, olives, orange and yellow peppers, salsa)
• 9:00pm - muscle milk

and here it is 11pm, and time to go to bed soon.  i’m gonna have some PB and an apple, though…

so, i think i’ve gained ten pounds since Thanksgiving day! LOL I ate SO MUCH from Thursday through Sunday and NOT clean eats by any means.  My husband was here visiting, so we ate out for practically every meal.  We only get to see each other once a month, so I allow myself to cheat during those times.  This helps me stay on track the weeks he’s not here.

So, time to whip that diet back into shape again!  Be on the lookout for a blog from me tomorrow.  I’m not feeling so well in the tummy this evening, and I’m hoping it’s just an intestinal reaction to all the unclean food I ate the past four days and not a virus!!!

’til next time

*jes*

I wasn’t as restrictive today…  I think I did a good job:

• 7:30am:  oatmeal, cinnamon, raisins
• 10:15am:  4 egg whites, 2 slices whole grain toast, string cheese
• 12:00pm:  muscle milk
• 2:30pm:  apple and PB
• 3:30pm:  unsalted pretzels, soynuts, raisins, chunks o’ energy thingies
• 6:00pm:  Pure Protein Bar
• 8:30pm:  salad (spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, chick peas, olives)
• 9:00pm:  couscous and tempeh

and i plan to eat a little dessert:  plain yogurt mixed with muscle milk, ezekial sprouted cereal, and rasberries.

not too bad of a day

Please note that I sat in front of the computer all day typing up reports and working on upcoming presentations for school.  ugh.  I can feel the fat seeping in.

Here’s what I ate today (I didn’t note the times today).  Everything’s organic:

• oatmeal with cinnamon and raisins
• coffee
• unsalted pretzels
• apple with PB
• lentil soup
• Kashi crackers with sliced cheese
• Pure Protein bar
• Sunflower burger, 2 pieces whole grain bread, nayonnaise, 1/2 pickle, veggie cheese, and veggie alphabet potatoes

that puts me at approx 73 grams of protein… sux.  i could drink a muscle milk tonight to push me up to 100g.  maybe i will… as you can see, the intake is much less than I should be eating.  it’s been like this lately… and there was a day in there it was about half of this…. no good.

I have been slacking with holding myself accountable for the diet lately.  Over the past week things have not been where they usually are with my intake.  Quite simply, I have been restricting, but not exactly intentionally.  I’m just not hungry.  There was one day this week I didn’t even eat 1,000 cals.  It has been a LONG time since I have done that…

So, I really need to take the time out each day to blog here, b/c this really has helped me stay on track with my diet.  But it is super hard to eat enough when you’re just not hungry.  I think there are a number of things contributing to this lack of appetite–where some people tend to indulge and overeat, I tend to restrict.

Anyways.  Be on the lookout for me holding myself accountable.  And nudge me here and there, b/c I really need it right now.

Will blog my intake later…
