Confessions of a Bulk Eater

Breakfast: shredded wheat, fat free milk - all core

Lunch: watermelon, Taco salad: lettuce, f/f cheese, kidney beans, tomatos, salsa - all core

A friend of mine wanted me to meet her at a new Tijuana Flats that just opened and I said NO! This is HUGE because Tijuana Flats is an absolute favorite of mine and I’m usually there at least once a week. I told her why though and she understood.

Snack: apple, banana - core; triscuits with red-fat cheese 4pts (4/35)

Hungry this afternoon. Not sure why.

Dinner: White Bean and Garlic Stew; brown rice - core

I was going to exercise today. I wanted to do Debbie, but I went and picked up the baby before I went and got my son from school. Then I wanted to take a nap but couldn’t. Really, I’m just being lazy and sitting on the couch folding laundry. I have to get a gift for my son’s teacher (tomorrow is the last day of school) so I thought I’d walk to the store after dinner and my husband gets home. It’s about 5 blocks away.

Okay, I did exercise today. I ended up going to the gym! YAY!! I did 20 minutes on the treadmill, but walked it at 3.6. I ran the last 2 minutes at 5.0 and I could have kept going for awhile, but I didn’t want to push it since tomorrow is my running day. I’ll probably up the speed tomorrow. I was proud of myself though. Then I did some leg weights. Whew…..

I really hate gyms sometimes. There are just so many people and even though I know they aren’t all staring, I feel they are. But anyway, today was the first day at the gym. I ran on the treadmill today. Not sure if I was doing something wrong, but it seemed REAL easy. Makes me nervous.

For you treadmill runners, how fast do you go? I was at a 4.6 pace, and actually bumped it up to 4.8 for my last 2 runs. I felt like I was running at the same pace I do when I run outside, but I’m not sure. It seemed too easy. Any help from you guys would be great.

My eating plan was GREAT today:

Breakfast: shredded wheat, f/f milk, 1/2 banana - all core
Lunch: couscous and veggie bake, watermelon - all core
Snack: apple - core
Lunch: Taco Salad: lettuce, lean ground beef, kidney beans, tomatos, fat free cheese, fat free sour cream, salsa — all core

WOO HOO!!!! I feel good too. My husband met me at the gym and when I was done with my run, we did some weights. He wanted to do legs, but I refused since I had just run (um, hello?!) We did arms instead. I wasn’t able to do much weights since the kids club was closing and I had to get the little ones. But all in all it was good.

Ever have one of those days? I was HUNGRY all day, despite sticking with plan this morning. So I said forget it. We went to a family funcion at my cousin’s and there was a huge spread. I ate, but didn’t over do it. But I didn’t deny myself either. When I left, I still felt hungry!! For dinner, I decided to order pizza for everyone. But I got a chicken portabella wrap without the chicken. It wasn’t the best choice, but better than the pizza. I don’t feel guilty, I don’t feel overstuffed or sick, I am actually feeling hungry again (it’s 10:30pm) but I will not eat again. I’ll be back on plan tomorrow.
