Day 358

Start of the new work week that for me is only three days long.  I get Thursday and Friday off and am planning on a bike ride if the weather cooperates.  I'm also planning on going to the movies on Friday so hopefully I'll be good and not eat too much junk.  I know that on Sat there is a plan to meet up with friends and I've heard pizza mentioned.  Aaaarrgh!  Ah well that's life and as we know I love to live it.  I keep trying different methods of restraint and this time I am really going to try to just eat one piece of pizza at a time. \

So here's today's food menu:

Breakfast: Two eggs, 3-4 slices of deli turkey, skinny bun, tomato, and avocado.  This week I'm not doing the dessert at breakfast thing so I had a banana and 20oz of cold water.

1st snack: Greek yogurt and almonds

Lunch:  First off after lunch as I head out to start the second half of my day I realize I've eaten too much for lunch.  I'm feeling a bit bloated and frankly a wee bit ill.  Here's what caused it.  Two corn/flour tortillas (small ones not the big guys) with some tomato and avocado sliced up with four chicken meat balls each, from TJ's and salsa.  Then two cups of sauteed cauliflower and broccoli.  To top it off I had a single serving bag of snack chips (not potato chips) that came from England.  Yes an acquaintance picked up a bag of these snacks and they really did come from England.  So it was a bit of not thinking clearly as lunch was being prepared and definitely cloudy thinking as it was being eaten.  Earlier in the day I was thinking about lunch and was kicking myself because I didn't buy any cheese for the tortillas.  Ha absolutely didn't need any cheese.

No 2nd snack as I was still feeling the effects of lunch.

Dinner: Okay back on track.  Protein drink.  Greek yogurt, Chia seeds (2 teaspoons), and a 5-seed bar.  Also 4 small handfuls of trail mix.  A banana.

It was Tabata night and again got in a good workout.  My shirt was quite sweaty and I felt like I'd pushed myself.  Which is good since I did overeat at lunch.  It was a bit different as the regular instructor was out and the replacement put us through the paces with vigor and enthusiasm.
