I had a little slip up yesterday. With a little stress, and there has been a bit in the last 4-5 days, it was the wrong time for me to forget my B6 vitamin yesterday AM. Bad girl! lol My whole day was great until last night when I turned into a Twink and loaded up on carbs and too much fat (good and bad and too much!). No guilt. Shit happens. I am aware of what the trigger was and though that is no excuse, it does explain things a little. Anyways, all is well. Today is a better day and it is all semi-planned with work. I will record my intake here just for shits and giggles (lol…. I wish I made that up, but it is from a movie… “shits and giggles”) and return if anything changes.

Intake:

Breakfast- Shake: 3/4 c frozen unsweetened cranberries, 3/4 c blueberries, about 1 T. fresh ginger, 2 T. flax seeds, water (vitamins, including my B6 !), …….Chlorella

Snack- 1/3 c oatmeal sweetened with cinnamon, 1 c. of a shake I made for David - water, pomegranate juice, protein powder, flax, blueberries, cherry yogurt (w/splenda)

Lunch- Veggies, open faced veggie sandwich with veggies, 1 oz. of Colby cheese, pickle, mustard/yogurt/dill dressing, 1 c. homemade carrot/sweet potato soup, (did not have the yogurt b/c I felt full), green tea

Snack- apple, red pepper, Vega, Ca. supplement

Supper- 3 oz salmon steak, 1/2 c. lentil curry, veggie salad (many different kinds, no lettuce), Earl Grey tea

I BINGED !!!

I am giving myself complete freedom these days to know that 28 is likely where I function best with my activity. That is 1400-1500 calories and specifically my metabolism may function optimally here. But I am still “listening” for that hunger and feeding it. Also, this is enough carbs to keep me thinking well, functioning, feeling happy and so anymore points/food will come from protein… well that is the plan. No more thoughts about last night. The Twink has left the building!

Activity: 30 minutes on the elliptical, free weights & leg lifts (about 30 minutes), walk to work (40 minutes)

Actual Workout: 30 minutes of the elliptical, 15 minutes of free weights and leg lifts (hopes to do more later after work… we will see.) and I will walk 40 minutes.

ALL GOOD WORDS, BUT I BINGED….. Moving on!
