Bit of a rough night
So I finally posted grades & said goodbye to that part of the semester & at the same time said a warm “hello” to my fridge.
Did okay during the day—cheerios & blueberries for breakfast, lunch was a delicious turkey flatbread rollup (thank you K at il mio viaggio for that idea), and dinner was a lean cuisine brick oven pizza & salad.
Then I moved on. My usual snack of chocolate pudding with coolwhip and…a bag of popcorn…one of those 100 calorie deals (kettle corn variety), but I managed to find some lite butter to drizzle on the top as well.
And all this was unconscious eating…not thinking about whether or not I was hungry, not thinking about the bites I was putting into my mouth, not thinking. That’s what worries me more than the calories (because in the end I made better choices than I would’ve in the past)…eating without thinking, and giving myself permission to do that when I’m sitting home alone and bored and tired. That worries me. That’s the thing I’ve been trying to fight with this blog and with the rules I’ve set up for myself.
So…I’m going to try to blog my food for a few days just to get myself back on track. & I figure I’ll use the template tiny2b uses on her blog where I have to fill in the missing information…only I like my snacks later in the day.
In the meantime, I need to get to the Y to see if I can’t do a better job of finishing off week 6 of the c25k program than I did yesterday. Update: this plan got 86′d pretty quickly when our new chair emailed to say he was giving me a new computer (new to me, anyway) & I had to get into the office to switch things around. But I could’ve gone to the Y at 5 & chose not to.
Breakfast: cheerios and blueberries and coffee (220)
Lunch: delicious turkey flatbread wrap with hummus, lettuce, sprouts, & grape tomatoes (300). 1/2 cup tabloui (100). [620]
Snack: hot chocolate(80) (so sue me…the minute I saw the sleet hitting my windshield in the work parking lot, I thought, “gee, I hope I still have a packet of hot cocoa in the office.”) 
14 veggie chips (100) [800]
Dinner: corn-on-the-cob (140), big salad (170), 3 oz tilapia (70), green beans (22). [1202]
Snack: fat/sugar free pudding (80), coolwhip free (45) [total consumed: 1325]
Exercise: 30 minute medium speed(3.4) on treadmill
Hi Lori! I noticed your blog because of the title and thought “wow another C25K’er”!
Couch25K tips??? I could write a book on that trip! But, I’ll spare you.
Maybe I’ll write about my methodically anal approach to running in my blog. Hardy-har!
Repeat weeks if you need/want to. Don’t run more than is recommended, but try to run faster for a set amount of time during your run. Let’s say for 30 seconds, or 45, a minute what ever you like, pick up the pace, push it Lori,go-go-go! and then return to your normal running pace. A little something I had to figure out 4 myself. This really helped me build up stamina, & still does, and I hope it helps you too! Just enjoy yourself…the main ingredient.
Mo.
glad you’re enjoying the wraps. i believe i’ll have a cuke wrap for dinner. the chicken rice dinner is amazing. however, you have to double the cooking time if you use long grain healthy rice. enjoy!
