Well, I paid for those cookies with sleep. I had a really light sleep and felt absolutely awful and wrung-out this morning -- had to go back to bed for a couple of hours after the kids left for school. Way to go, dummy...
Ah, well, I guess that's scientific proof that one shouldn't eat cookies at 10:30 PM.
Today was busy at work, but I made a point of finding time to eat that lunch. Of course, it was rushed, but at least I ate...
Dr. Mike's food tip for today: Probiotics are friendly bacteria that help your digestive tract form a barrier against bad bacteria and also help you lose weight.
Dr. Mike's exercise tip for today: Put your gym times (if that's how you're getting your exercise in) on your calendar and plan your workout for early in the day -- get it over with before you do anything else and you'll feel better for the rest of the day. I guess if you're like me and just walking, you should put that on the calendar, too. And if you're using a smart-phone calendar application, you can set it up so you get nagged until you do it!
Today's Menu
Breakfast: 4 egg whites, scrambled (with red pepper, mushroom, 1 tbsp of salsa), Del Monte diced peaches (packed in water), cranberry/pomegranate green tea, multivitamin, probiotic capsule, Omega 3 capsule
Morning Snack: vanilla yogurt with Granny Smith apple & cinnamon
Lunch: Dr. Mike's Chicken Vegetable soup
Dinner: large green salad* with tomatoes, baked chicken breast, Kraft Mandarin Orange dressing
* I've been using bagged salad (yes, terribly lazy) -- this one had pieces of carrot, radish, purple cabbage and a few snap peas.
No official workout/exercise today (are you shocked?) but, again, lots of walking at work -- not really exercise, but I was on the move all day. I have the day off tomorrow and the weather has been nice, so I might just go for a real walk and listen to the birds singing down by the pond.
