To eat or not to eat….
Journal, June Goal June 9th, 2008I SO want to eat. Not just eat a little or eat something healthy, I want to EAT!!! I have resisted though. I wasn’t going to eat after I worked out, so I made a Weight Watcher smoothie with some strawberries. But after I drank it, I still felt hungry. So I ended up making a potato and red pepper frittata. Plus, I needed to eat so I could take some ibruprofin. I am so sore. I have bruises in weird places. I only know how I got one of them.
I was tempted at lunch today too. I had brought some homemade chili pinto beans and was going to make a taco salad at lunch. Well, my friends dragged me out to Chili’s for lunch. I told myself in my head that I was going to get a side salad with a side of black beans and salsa and just make my own taco salad there. Well, apparantly there is like some samonella scare or something and they had NO tomatos or salsa!! WHAT?!?!?!?! That almost changed everything. I just about went for broke and ordered whatever I felt like. But no, I kept my cool and ordered a side salad with no fat honey mustard dressing. YAY!! I was still hungry when I got back to the office though so I ate my chili beans then.
Breakfast: shredded wheat, fat free milk, strawberries — all core
Snack: frozen grapes — all core
Lunch: side salad with fat free honey mustard (a little shredded cheese), chili pinto beans — all core except for the cheese but there wasn’t that much of it
Snack: cantalope, watermelon — all core
Dinner: weight watchers smoothie with strawberries, potato and red pepper fritatta — all core

I’ve been fighting hunger all day today & I’m attributing it to some strength training yesterday. & you described the feeling perfectly: I want to EAT!!
Sounds like you had a killer day at the gym! I’ve never made it past 5 minutes on the elliptical, but I’m tempted to try again after hearing that you actually enjoyed it. & congrats on your self-control at Chili’s! Their menu is such a temptation for me, I’ve been avoiding that place (and many others) like the plague.
