Out of all the positive things that have come out of this project, I'd say being able to accept mistakes and move on is (aside from losing weight) is the biggest benefit. I can honestly admit that without this ability there is no way I would have made it through this far! Acceptance and forgiveness is key to allowing myself to continue and not feel bad about mistakes I've made. The fact that I ate buffalo wings last night and was able to return to my normal eating routine today is phenomenal. Really it is. I had another kick ass workout this morning, did a series of workouts (30 sec workout, 30 sec rest) for 6 min, then took a minute rest and did it all over again, a total of 3 times. Totally kicking my behind but it feels great afterwards. Anyway, here is what I ate today:
Post-workout snack:
-1 TJs trail mix bar
*ALWAYS need something small after working out since I don't eat beforehand. I have a long drive home from crossfit so I need something to hold me over!
Breakfast:
-1 egg, scrambled
-1 TJs frozen hash brown
-2 pieces turkey bacon
-1 tbsp ketchup
*This was all so good. The eggs cooked up REALLY well this time and my mom thinks it's because they were organic eggs or something with extra omega-3 added...either way it was perfect...here's a pic!
Lunch:
-TJ's frozen baked ziti
*This was probably one of the best frozen pasta dishes i've ever eaten. Real italian marinara sauce has 6 basic ingredients: tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, basil, salt & pepper. However any frozen or jarred sauce i've eaten clearly has sugar, oregano and a BOATLOAD of other shitty additives...this frozen baked ziti smelled and tasted like the sunday sauce my dad makes...very pure and just the 6 ingredients i listed. I loved it!
Dinner:
-1 slice whole grain toast with 1 tbsp peanut butter and 2 tsp homemade peach jam
-1c coffee with 2 tbsp fat-free half & half and 1 sweet & low
*I wasn't really that hungry and wanted something sweet so I had a nice cup of coffee & a half-serving pb&j. It was so good.
Snack:
-Healthy nachos: 7 kashi crackers (like triscuits) with 1/4c lowfat cheddar melted on top and 2 tbsp salsa
*meh. I improvised.
Water:
-1/2 bottle
*Seriously need to make up for this tomorrow.
Exercise:
-Crossfit: 30 min
I'm sure tomorrow will be another good day...except it's a long work day so i have to exercise control and work on some meal-spacing techniques! Wednesday night i'm going out for a friend's birthday so i would like to try to find out where i'm going beforehand so i can look up nutrition facts and be smart about it...then friday AND saturday I have dinner plans once again so i need to be careful STILL! It is going to be a tough week but I KNOW i can do it!
