Sorry I didn’t blog yesterday. I was in a lazy, unmotivated mood. Instead of going on a long run yesterday morning the boy and I slept in as he wasn’t feeling well. Once I finally got up I had a headache for most of the day. My eats yesterday involved nearly a full box of Total Cereal :oops:. I’m not happy about it. I think yesterday was the closest I came to binging in a long, long time. I’m trying to sort out the cause, but I think numerous factors encouraged this type of eating: I was lazy and didn’t want to make anything; there was no bread; disappointment over recent weigh-ins; lack of exercise; not feeling great and the list goes on and on. The good/bad news is that as of 12:30 yesterday is no more Total in the house.
We watched The Reader yesterday and we both enjoyed it very much. I had started reading the book but only made it 1/3 the way through. I’m going to try to finish it though because I’m sure it is much more detailed than the movie.
We made a trip to Costco and picked up lots of goodies, came home, ate dinner and then headed out on a long walk. I think we took a little over a 2 hour walk. By the end of the night I had repaired any damage from earlier – calories in/calories out: 2144/2360
This morning we went out for our 5 mile run that was scheduled yesterday. I have been starting out slower and slower on these runs, like it takes my joints a good 10 minutes to really warm up. I’m not sure how long it took us, but it was a nice workout.
Breakfast (495 cal): YUMMY pancakes. 1/2 C oats, 1/2 C egg whites, 1 T flax meal, 1 mashed banana, spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger), packet splenda, 1/4 t baking powder. I have found it best to let the the mixture soak for about 5 minutes before cooking. I topped my pancakes with walnuts and SF syrup.
Snack (209 cal): 1/2 a pita, cabot cheese and orange essence prunes.
Lunch (454 cal): A little container of veggies from the deli (minus the carrots). American Vegetable Bounty soup with added chickpeas, 1/2 a pita with PB & orange marmalade, smoothie with berries and protein.
Snack (193 cal): Kashi almond honey flax bar and a piece of cabot cheese.
Dinner (459 cal): Quorn cutlet with green beans and a baked potato topped with roasted broccoli, cheese and bac’UN bits. Juicy nectarine for dessert.
Calories in/Calories out: 1808/~2500
Don’t be so harsh on yourself. I think you are doing so well and you managed to get a run too. And the good thing is that even though you binged it was a cereal and not a bag of potato chips!!
Pancakes= Love!!!
I kid you not the Heart Thrive bars are an excellent choice! great protein, very tasty and filling for 150 cals and better ingredients actually than kashi
You just get right back to it and keep on truckin!
Good for you for not letting it get you too far down and those pancakes look incredible! Wow!
