Day 140

Had another revelation today.  Or maybe it was an epiphany.  Whatever it was it made a good point of metaphorically slapping me in the face and shouting, "Wake Up!!".  My attempt at eating better and working out has caused my body to reject certain things.  I've mentioned how if I don't get in some kind of a work out I feel "off".  Doesn't mean I have to go to the gym and work out until I puke but I just feel "not right".  Well today I found out that eating a lot of donuts makes me feel "off".  Frankly I didn't eat that many donuts, let's see it was a maple bar with bacon on top, 5 donut holes, two small chocolate old fashion's, a half of another I don't know the name of and a quarter of a blueberry fritter.  There were cookies ( remember those?) and I had two of those.  Ok if you've keeping track here's the problem, this was all in the space of 5 hours.  Between first break and second break that's where it all went down.  Plus lunch was in there too.  Not only did I feel full but I felt like my body was slowed down.  Here's what else I ate today:

Breakfast: Egg sandwich with tomato, avocado, turkey on a skinny bun.  Banana and 20oz of cold water.

Snack: Donuts (see above)

Lunch: Spinach salad with quinoa, tomato, cauliflower, broccoli slaw, chicken sausage, and salsa.  Donuts (again see above)

Snack: Donut (see...)

Dinner: A hodge podge of stir frying cauliflower, baby carrots, broccoli slaw, quinoa, cottage cheese, and tipali fish.  Two cookies and a banana. 

I went to the gym to try and work out the donuts and I at least got in a normal workout of cardio.  I noticed that my arms were a bit sore from the night before so am quite pleased.  I did notice that even though I ate all those donuts and cookies the belt loop was still at 4.  I'm curious if that will be the case tomorrow.  I guess I will just have to wait and see.  I guess the takeaway from the donut attack is the understanding that I can eat that stuff just not in the quantities I have in the past.  Which is right in line with what I've tried to learn.  My body won't handle the quantity of food the same way it did in my early years nor the quality of the junk food I'm surrounded by on a daily basis.  Must learn control or at least moderation may be a better mantra.
