For the last 2 weeks, today was the last day of the work week thanks to the holidays. It's so hard to shift back into a 5 day workweek. I was so tired this morning I put shampoo on my loofah to use as body wash. Oh well.
Since I keep hitting the snooze button, I haven't had enough time to make eggs in the morning. I had some Special K Protein Plus cereal this morning, which really doesn't taste great, but I ate it anyway. Going to have oatmeal and walnuts around 11 a.m. and then wait till 1 p.m. for lunch.
-----------------
Oatmeal with walnuts AND slivered almonds = dee.lish.ussssss.

Made the same salad as yesterday - baby spinach & spring mix with cherry tomatoes, walnuts, some dressing, and this time 4 grilled chicken tenderloins. Feeling a bit frustrated because I ate an hour ago and I feel hungry again and dissatisfied. I ate slowly and drank a lot of water - I drink TONS of water all day at work. Not sure what the problem is. Going to have some string cheese and the rest of my cherry tomatoes soon since I have no more salad left for the week.
Going to spinning class tonight with Robin and my dad. Not looking forward to it. It's not that I can't do the cycling part of the class...it's that the bike seats are PAINFUL!!! Haha, really! Robin and I haven't gone to the class for a long time, so we're going to give it another try. I need a padded seat!

Alrighty, final update of the day. I'm proud of myself for going to the gym for 4 days straight! Woo hoo! I think I am going to take tomorrow off because I haven't given my legs any time to recover since Boot Camp class on Monday.
So I really hate spinning class. I hate the guy that teaches the class. I hate this Lance Armstrong wannabe in the class. And I hate those damn bike seats. THEY HURT! I have never been a fan of stationary bikes, I would much rather bike outside. It's just really hard to get yourself to put full effort into pedaling when you're not moving. Come summer, I am buying myself a nice new bike.
While in the spinning class, in the mirror I could see the kickbox class going on and it looks AWESOME. You have to bring your own gloves though, and wrist wraps. I'm going to check out how much they are and *hopefully* try the class out soon.
For dinner I had about 6 cheese ravioli with organic Ragu - good energy prior to the hour-long bike class. And then I was going to treat myself to a small cookie (it was sized between a Chips Ahoy and a Subway cookie) but I only ate half of it before I realized I wasn't even enjoying it. This is a new record, people! I haven't had a chocolate dessert since SATURDAY, wow!
Well that's it for the night! Goodnight!
AWESOME! ok comments:
ReplyDeleteyou may be feeling hungry because as you start eating smaller, more frequent meals, your metabolism revs up and your body craves more food. try to make sure you space your meals 3 hours apart - if you eat every hour you'll be hungry every hour.
you have to learn to love to hate your spin class. i HATE my spin class. everything about it pisses me off. the bike, the instructor, everyone else in the class. but i still totally love going. haha go figure. oh yeah and buy some bike shorts. they look gross but are a life saver!
AND . . . GOOD JOB with the cookie! seriously so many people just eat things they don't even want. you can totally have a cookie if you want one but most people would eat it just because it's there. that's a big accomplishment des :)
Yay!!! My first blog comment! Thanks! : )
ReplyDeleteI'll keep the 3 hour rule in mind, definitely! Also I noticed that after I was feeling hungry after the salad, I took a walk around the building and it helped me stop thinking about it.
Sigh...maybe i'll give the spin class another go : ) haha!
Interesting thing with the cookie - instead of eating it in front of the TV, I was sitting in my room with no other distractions so I had nothing else to focus on BUT the cookie lol. And I realized "Wow I can taste ALL the sugar here...and I don't want it in my system!!!"
