On a work day:
1. Smoothy; almond milk, pineapple, frozen strawberries, vanilla yogurt, banana, and i add benefiber and omega fish oil supplement that tastes like lemon zest (or) i'm in a hurry and i grab a coffee and a banana
2. Cashews, peanuts or almonds for a snack.
3. Veg-drink (one of those green+ things that you just add water to) raw cucumber, tomato and brocolli salad. (I think I probably need more protein here)
4. I get pretty hungry right here. It's around the end of work. This is where trouble starts. On my way home from work I might grab some starbucks or a chocolate bar. This is where I feel I am really slipping lately... If I indulge here I may not eat anything for the rest of the night because of guilt or because all I want is more sweets.
5. A stir fry with lots of veg's with tofu. Or couscous salad with chickpeas and tofu. Sometimes tofu and yam and a spinach salad. Etc etc. I change up dinner a lot. And usually cook two separate dinners a night (one for me, one for my boyfriend)
6. Raw veg's make me feel pretty full... but I get a nasty sweet tooth again around the end of the night and I'll be grateful if I can get through it without eating some chocolate or frozen yogurt or something.
A non-work day:
still pretty busy on these days but I have more time for breakfast and lunch.
1. Scrambled eggs with some cheese + tomatoes and onion with almond milk or tea. (thinking of changing breakfast to oats, i just bought some steel-cut oats and bran but haven't even tried it yet) <-- do you think that would be best in the morning?
2. Snacks: raw veg's and nuts. or sesame snacks. or coffee.
3. Will usually make the same smoothy I have most mornings for lunch.
4. I make dinner earlier these days. It's always different but I try to keep it pretty balanced in terms of protein/veg/carbs.
I don't think I'm eating enough but the problem seems to be the sugars.. when I cave and grab something that I know isn't good for me I will sacrifice the good stuff, emotional eater I guess you could say. Hmm I don't know what I need to add. I know it's silly but I really don't know anymore.
If you managed to read through that mess lol thank you and my apologies.
Okay, for exercise... I have a treadmill in my bedroom that I use (just about) every day (right now I'm doing 45 mins) some light weights and squats right after running. I walk everywhere since I don't drive yet. I just bought the treadmill a couple weeks ago, before I moved I had a membership at a really awesome 24/7 gym but there is nothing like that in this new city. Hot yoga is usually part of my routine but there isn't a hot yoga place here -- I just moved a month in a half ago.
Right now I'm at 143lbs. I'm 5'6. 24 years old (in 11 days) and I have no idea what my bf% is yet.
I really want to get down to 125lbs. But I want to do it right, and I want to feel good about my diet. I'm still trying to get more veg's/protein and water in every day. I guess I need something more concrete though. Something more routine that I can rely on. And if it's a routine diet it has got to be pretty good you know what I mean?
