Daily log #6

Fruit and protein smoothie
Nutribar
small chocolate milk
1/4 cup macaroni and cheese
banana
1 skewer chicken kebab
6 french fries
roasted veggies
cucumber and tomato salad
marinated carrots
cole slaw (not creamy)
a few bites of bread (laffa)
1 Tbsp hummus

No exercise

I did see some benefit to the blogging, since I was tempted to binge on junk but refrained because I knew that I would have to document it. Lost around 1.5 lbs so far.

Review:

Need to make exercise even more regular - vary it so that I can give sore muscles a break but still be active daily

Need more veggies, which should help with the cravings.

Need to be firmer with schedule:
- bed on time
- do a solid schedule for the mornings, since time is currently being wasted
- keep task list updated, so that there is a clear sense of what needs to be done when, and sense of accomplishment

Daily log #5

Food:

Fruit smoothie with protein powder
Nutribar
chocolate milk
1 small package pretzels
roast quarter chicken leg with 1 cup roasted new potatoes and steamed cauliflower
avocado with 1 tomato

Exercise:

Walked around Wonderland, then went to the gym, did a few weights and interval training on treadmill for 30 min., which felt great.

Daily log #4

Multivitamin
peach
lentil soup
1/2 samosa
saag paneer
curried cauliflower
1/2 cup rice
bite of naan

No exercise, and getting completely frustrated and stir-crazy at home. Husband was away for the weekend, oldest child at camp, so I had to watch the younger ones. Middle child talked me into hosting a 5 hour playdate, which kept her occupied, but also kept me from being able to leave the house. The internet was done more than it was up, so I couldn't really do the work at home that I had planned. Cleaning out the fridge was my big accomplishment.
