Where you want to eat all of the things?
THAT was today for me around 3.
Just hit me out of no where. Very unusual.
Until I realized what week this was for me. (You're on the pill, Kelly. You kinda knew that already. Pay attention!) The joys of being a woman, right?
I had access to some peanut butter, and my co worker gave me 4 Trader Joe's multigrain water crackers to spread it on. What the heck is a water cracker anyway?
I also had a Bosc pair and my green monster smoothie, and called it a day. Raging hunger satisfied until I could get to Bikram.
Not clean at all since I don't eat crackers unless I have that dreaded stomach virus, and the peanut butter was Skippy. Ick.
So now, I have to have a plan in place for if and when this happens again. Need to have string cheese or my Trader Joe's natural peanut butter around.
Josie, the very lovely YumYucky, said it was no wonder I felt that way, with all the heavy weight training I've been doing lately. Yeah, yeah, I know - I should've been eating more lean protein for a while now.
Tomorrow, I'll be bringing extra chicken breast with me & the string cheese.
I think what I'll do is save my Fage yogurt to have later in the day. With a teaspoon of ground flaxseed mixed in it. That's what I'll be doing from now on. Lots of water to go with it, too. Good plan.
Plan, plan, plan. Prepare, prepare, prepare. Those are never bad things. You certainly never want to say that you didn't pack any healthy, nutritious snacks because you just "didn't feel like it" or "didn't have the time" or any other myriad of excuses that could potentially derail you.
Been there, done that. I know EXACTLY what that is. And where it's coming from, too. Unfortunately.
Headed to the 5:30 Bikram session right after work. I was surprised to see that Tommy was taking class and NOT instructing. His name was on the schedule. He placed his mat next to me. Very nice. Unfortunately, we had another mouth breather in the front row. Eh. Oh well.
Worked up an awesome sweat, and I felt invigorated afterwards. So glad I went today.
Sweat don't lie, ppl. Neither do cameras and scales.
Nor my popping collar bones, apparently! (I secretly love that I can see em now! Guess it aint that much of a secret now, is it?)
What do you guys have on hand for the 3 o'clock hour?
I'm trying to stick with fruit and maybe some low-fat cheese for snacks at the moment. But that is a tough time of day, and a tough time of month. (My post yesterday was titled "Why is everyone so annoying today?")
ReplyDeleteMy late afternoon Snack is a muscle milk or some almonds I throw in a baggie.
ReplyDeleteSeeing my collar bones was one of my first... "ohhh hey, I'm starting to like this body of mine!" moments. Love it :)
ReplyDeleteThat was me last week. Between stress and hormones and the chocolate and cake at the office last week, it was not pretty.
ReplyDeleteI usually keep nuts like almonds around and veggies and some kind of dip (this week it's plain greek yogurt that had a packet of ranch dip seasoning mixed in). Something with protein always helps
I'm in love with my recently unburied collar bones too. And when I lay down I like to feel my hip bones popping out! It's the small things! Haha
ReplyDeleteErin - I am right there with ya on the hip bones! I have no shame in admitting this! :-)
DeleteI am hungry like that everyday! lol. Love that I can see my collar bones too :) you look awesome girl. xo
