I’m all ready to post my food journal and realized I didn’t put up my starting stats yet. Oops! Here they are:
So before pictures were fresh out of the shower getting ready for church. No makeup and wet, uncombed hair. That will make the afters all the better :).
And here’s my food today:
Breakfast is not pictured: Chocolate covered strawberry smoothie: 1 cup almond milk; 1 Tbs cocoa powder; 1 Tbs stevia in the raw; 1 scoop Designer whey protein powder in French Vanilla and 5 frozen strawberries (about 1 cup.)
No snack today: I woke up late, took my shake intending to work out and then got a live Skype message from two of the programmers that I’m interviewing for a job and spent the next hour on that. Didn’t work out or read my scriptures. Took my two daughters to swimming lessons and came home with a dog to babysit and two cousins. Spent the day online trying to catch up from vacation last week.
Lunch: Low carb Ole brand tomato basil wrap with half an avocado, 3.5 oz sliced chicken and romaine.
Snack was 6oz Mountain High plain yogurt with 1/4 cup peanut flour and 1 Tbs stevia in the raw stirred in. With half a chopped Gayla apple over the top. I ate the other half of the apple out of hand.
After my snack, I learned the June FYM workout of the month and then finally worked out around 4pm. That workout was tough! I remember halfway through I thought I was done and she said, “Now we just have to do all of that again.” And I thought I would die! I dropped to a lower weight and kept going. It felt really good to finish. But two hours later I’m still shaking a bit, lol. I drank a post workout shake after the workout.
Dinner was half a baked sweet potato with just salt. Then a huge plate of romaine topped with 4 oz of sliced chicken breast and 1 oz of Aldi’s fit and active light Caesar Dressing. I’m still starving. Today I actually measured my food instead of eyeballing it and got up to 1600 calories. But this is shockingly less to my body than what it is used to to maintain my 144 pound frame. Hopefully this will make some fat burning take place :). I’m planning on some tea tonight to help me get through the hungries.
Left for tonight is to attend a funeral. The little girl next door who plays with my daughter and goes to church with us lost her non-custodial mother. It is sad for all involved. My son has a fever so my oldest will babysit the littles and my youngest daughter and I will go alone as a date. After that I’m planning to stay up as late as I have to, to get my scripture study in. Then tomorrow I plan to get up earlier and be more productive for the day. Here’s the calorie breakdown:
