BOO-YA!

I did really well with the meals yesterday!  I'm still proud of myself.  I left work at 4 PM, got to the gym (LEG DAY), and went back to work to help clean up after a major event that we put on annually.  There was also a lot of work done before I left for the gym.  I still remembered to go back to my office to eat my 3 PM meal and then go back to help.  There were all kinds of foods at this event.  Everyone kept telling me to eat something, but I knew I couldn't.  It was a little frustrating because after I would tell them I can't eat that, they wanted an explanation.  I chose to go with the "I-can't-weigh-the-food-or-know-what's-in-the-food" response. 

Here are my totals for yesterday:

I was definitely high on the carbs/sugar and lower on the protein.  The sodium came down a bit.  My trainer friend said I shouldn't worry about the sodium, but I can't help it. 

At 6 AM: Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal (100 calorie pack); 1 slice of Brownberry Country Buttermilk Bread w/ a teaspoon of Move Over Butter; 10 oz of Hazelnut Coffee w/ 1 tablespoon of Bailey's Hazelnut Creamer (BAD! BAD! BAD!) and a teaspoon of sugar.

At 9 AM:  1 slice of Brownberry Country Buttermilk Bread; 1 slice of low sodium, part-skim Swiss Cheese; 4 slices of low sodium Turkey meat.

At 12 PM: 1 English Muffin; 1 Boca Vegan Burger Patty; 1 packet of steamable Baby Brussel Sprouts with a little bit of salt and pepper.

At 3 PM:   1 slice of Brownberry Country Buttermilk Bread; 117g of Cottage Cheese.

At 6 PM:   3 oz of Baked Shrimp w/ tail on (THAT was fun trying to figure out when they were cooked lol); 1/2 of a cucumber sliced w/ a pinch of salt and pepper; 1/2 cup of Green Beans; 1 slice of low sodium, part-skim Swiss Cheese; 4 slices of low sodium Turkey meat.

At 9 PM:   117g of Cottage Cheese; 1 cup of frozen mixed fruit (Bananas, Strawberries, Pineapple, and Papaya).
The carbs and sugar spike was definitely from having 3 slices of bread and an English Muffin, and the coffee combo.  I need to watch those carbs, but I was scared I was going to get a headache like I did on Monday night.  I should NOT be eating 3 slices of bread. 

On another note, I have lost a little over 1.5 pounds since Sunday!  I weighed myself last night at the gym.  I was happy to see that, but I shouldn't weigh myself during the week.  It was a good pick-me-up though!  I also sat in the sauna for 15 minutes after my workout.  The sauna at the Y is amazing.  It's always at a perfect temperature.

Yesterday, I walked at lunch for about 40 minutes, did an hour of cardio at the gym, and did 5 farmer walks to round off my leg day workout.  I'm not sure if I'm going to post my workouts on this blog or not.  I haven't decided.
