Wave 1, Day 7
Day: 7
Mood: Tired
Breakfast: shredded wheat & milk
Lunch: chicken tenders; broccoli, cauliflower, red bell pepper, tomatoes; water & unsweetened iced tea.
Dinner: Salad: Spinach, red bell pepper, avocado, balsamic vinaigrette; broiled chicken; tabouleh salad
Snack(s): cheese stick, hot tea
Exercise: 25 min. cardio
It was a bit hard to wake up this morning... hard to pull my butt out of bed and to the gym. And while, generally, I feel awake and ready to face to world, but I never really go there today.
At lunch, I gave into my sleepiness and "cheated." Not too bad. I had chicken tenders with breading on them. No sauces, no french fries, one onion ring, lots of vegetables.
I didn't feel well most of the afternoon-- headache. Simple carbs are poison. Must learn this lesson.
However, I resisted the urge to buy a "treat" at the grocery store by talking myself out of the 100 Calorie Oreo Snack Packs. "It's not the calories that count," I said. "It's the carbs." Then I grabbed a bit of smoked salmon to have with lunch tomorrow (cause I'm growing a bit tired of chicken) and skedattled.
Good Things About Day Five:
-avocados and tomatoes are still on sale
-I enjoy putting meals together
Bad Things About Day Five:
-tired
-headache
