Some notes about my food today: so, today I decided to stop at the little coffee stand on the way to my lab and i got an iced nonfat latte. and, it had a variety of affects on me in the morning: 1) it made me way less tired and much more alert (duh!), 2) it made me WAY more productive and focused and 3) it made me much less hungry. I think my productivity and increased in alertness let me focus more on my work before lunch, and less on hunger or snacking. so im thinking of (ironically) getting up a bit early tomorrow morning so that I can go and get the latte again and then get to work a bit earlier. I really liked how the espresso affected me, and espresso is SO low cal, only the nonfat milk really counts.

second, even though my new flax seed bread is 20 cals more for two slices that my other whole wheat bread, it is WAY more filling, so my lunch felt much bigger today. so, YAY! i feel like I’m really working out my food balance finally. I also brought an apple to eat in my lunch if I was hungry, but I found that I didnt really need it. I’ll continue to bring it, in case I do get hungry, I will have a healthy snack on hand.

Well! Off to the gym now! Back in bit!–>aghhh, its taking me forever to get to the gym. i dont really want to go, but i know i should, and im just gonna do a normal length workout. im tired. blahhh.

Finally made it to the gym, though way too late. Workout: 47 min elliptical, 40 min weights and abs
