I'm feeling really good right now. Happy, proud, in control. These are the kind of days I'd like to hold on to! I went to the gym today and did what was probably the hardest spin class I've ever been to in my life. I'm still not sure how I feel about the instructor (who is the king of butt crack) but he really knew how to push us hard. There were so many moments in that hour that I didn't think I could do it...but I just kept thinking of other things...kept my mind occupied. And each thought I had (whether it be what I planned on cooking, or what errands I had to run) used up another couple minutes and before I knew it we were done and I had accomplished so much! I am definitely going to be attending Monday AND Wednesday spin from now on! Today was also a good eating day, I'm trying (slowly) to get more creative with my meals since I know I could succumb to getting bored or tired of the same old thing all the time. Here is what I ate today:
Breakfast:
- 2 trader joe's whole wheat frozen waffles with (a concoction I made) 1/4c sugar-free syrup, some blueberries, some blackberries and some bananas heated up into some kind of fruit syrup.
It was delicious, the bananas were ooey gooey and sugary sweet...have a look! This was so good and it felt like I was eating out at a restaurant! There was no added sugar in any of the topping, it was all natural :-)
Lunch:
- 2oz whole grain pasta, some cheddar, mozzarella & swiss melted on top, with broccoli, tomatoes and red pepper flakes.
*This was good, but disastrous to make. I tried to get a little TOO creative, tried making my own mac 'n cheese sauce...the result was a lot of milk with cheese stuck to the bottom. I gave up on that and just sprinkled some cheese on the pasta after it was cooked and voila! the cheese melted right on. Should have just tried that in the first place!
- 1 sugar-free vanilla pudding cup
Dinner:
- Veggie burger on whole wheat sandwich thin with spinach, mushrooms, onions and red pepper spread
*I want to try eating sandwhiches without cheese (or at least less-often) because I seem to use cheese as a flavor crutch...let me tell you cheese was NOT necessary this time! The pepper spread and mushrooms gave it a really good flavor! Very happy with this.
Snack/Dessert:
- 1 light fat-free vanilla yogurt with (once again my own recipe): blueberries, raspberries, lemon juice and a touch of honey heated up into a fruit syrup. I added this into the yogurt.
This was the end result. I thought it looked pretty cool, tasted really good too! The fruit heated with the honey turned the whole mixture into a dark red sauce. Delicious! I'm glad I chose to eat this, because I was watching Groundhog Day and Bill Murray was constantly eating danishes, cake, pie, cupcakes, donuts...all the stuff I crave...and seeing him eating it made me want something sweet so badly, so I made the yogurt-thing up instead and it took care of my sweet tooth. What a relief.
Hopefully tomorrow will be just as successful as today...I have work all day but Thursdays are usually fairly busy so I know I will be kept occupied. I also made some DELICIOUS meals for tomorrow but you're all going to have to wait until then to find out what they are! No worries, I took pictures :-)
