OK, I don't get it...
I had ZERO carbs yesterday outside of the permitted fruit portions and I felt like crap again today. Slept much better (6 straight hours again), but I had a headache that just wouldn't quit. Must be something else (the weather is going to change in the next 24 hours -- that sometimes does it for me). Or maybe it's work -- we're busy, busy, busy right now and I haven't been able to keep regular meal times.
Today I wanted pancakes. I got yogurt. Seems like a pretty unfair trade off...
Dr. Mike's food tip for today: Drink your water! It helps flush body waste and metabolize stored fat. OK, Doc, point taken...
Dr. Mike's exercise tip for today: Recruit a workout buddy -- hubby (um, not likely), children (the daughter will be up for a walk), friend (my friends are very busy themselves and scattered throughout the city -- planning a workout with them would be a logistical nightmare...lol! But they are encouraging me in other ways and that is just as valuable!) -- you're less likely to jam out of your workout if someone else is counting on you.
Today's Menu
Breakfast: strawberry yougurt with diced strawberries added, pomegranate green tea, multivitamin, Omega 3 capsule
Morning Snack: skipped this -- took my headache back to bed after the kids left for school and had breakfast quite late...
Lunch: Ricky's Restaurant's BCLT Salad with chicken -- B = bacon bits, C = cheese, L = lettuce, T = tomato (lots of greens and other good stuff like spinach, carrot -- unfortunately the chicken had some kind of breading -- gotta remember to ask when the menu doesn't specify), water
Afternoon Snack: small yogurt (Silhouette 0+ toffee flavoured), mint green tea
Dinner: baked chicken breast, Dr. Mike's green bean casserole (from the workbook -- pretty good, a bit bland for my taste)
I love my Fridays off! The highlight of the day is a lunch date with my kids where we catch up on the news of the week and make plans for our weekend which always includes pizza/movie night and another evening of fun food and entertainment. Since the family got "fun" food tonight (burritos with all the fixings), I decided to try something new, hence the green bean casserole. Not necessarily "fun", but definitely different.
Part of the afternoon involved grocery shopping and I picked up the ingredients for the tomato-leek soup from the workbook -- smelled amazing while it was cooking -- going to try that tomorrow...
