Sorry for the neglect this weekend! I will admit that I fell off the wagon a bit this weekend. I learned my lesson. Next time I go out of town, I’m packing some stuff to avoid turning to fast food. Yes, this happened once - only once, and because it was necessary, and I really didn’t enjoy one bit - or bite - of it. Let me offer a short summary:
Day 4:
I believe that breakfast was a fruit smoothie. I went to lunch at a local place called the Harvest Moon Cafe, a new favorite. I had their turkey bacon wrap, an absolute favorite of mine, served with kettle cooked chips - not the healthiest side, alas. My boss bought me a cupcake, so I did indulge in one of those. I can’t recall what dinner was, I think I may have skipped dinner and had some fruit. Either that, or it was leftover chicken veggie stir fry with quinoa. Exercised ‘til I felt like DEATH, was so, so unbelievably sore for the three days to follow.
Day 5:
Fruit smoothie for breakfast, a veggie burger with sweet potato fries for lunch. We went to see Wreck It Ralph and had sushi with a side of veggie soup. So much fun, and super healthy! Too sore to exercise.
Day 6:
Again, too sore to exercise! We had a potato, egg and bacon casserole for breakfast, then drove to Cleveland to see a dear friend for her birthday. Starving, we stopped at Dairy Queen, where I had a hot dog, fries and a mini blizzard, all of which made me feel incredibly tired and lethargic after days of being pumped, positive and energized. We went for hibachi, and I had some miso soup and chicken teriyaki. Afterwards, we had wine and made s’mores. Yeah, NOT MY BEST. :(
Day 7:
No sleep, exhausted, STILL SORE, so no exercise. We had quiche for breakfast, and I also had a slice of birthday cake. Leftover Hibachi for lunch, some pears, and I indulged in a Jeni’s salty caramel ice cream sandwich m’love brought me from work.
I’m not going to beat myself up over falling off course this weekend, because I’ve done what I’ve so rarely done and hopped back on the bandwagon. I realize I’m a bit of a victim of circumstance, but next time I travel I’M PACKING FOOD. My confidence got kicked in the dirt, too. My girlfriend and her best friend are both so beautiful, it’s difficult to feel anything but disdain for my weight when I’m around those two! ^^ I also saw some photos taken of me that just … Devastated me. I’m not one to cry very often but let’s just say I had a really weepy drive home. My girlfriend was inspiring and comforting as always.
On another, perhaps more personal note, nutrition amps up my sex drive ridiculously. When I eat poorly I have little to no desire to, well, perform, but shiiiit. I had to suppress so much desire this weekend, and pulled her into my arms every chance I got. <3
So, this brings us to today. Restored motivation, lots of sleep. Let’s break it down!
Breakfast: Kashi go lean cereal, wheat “biscuits” with fresh berries & almond milk.
Lunch: Tuna fish sandwich, carrots.
Dinner: This depends on my lady’s return. I may have the leftover quinoa and chicken and veggies, unless she gets home soon enough to grocery shop with me. In that case, it’ll probably be taco salad!
Exercise: About 30 minutes of interval training (almost lost my breakfast! Gonna maybe try to find something a bit more geared to beginners ;;) and some dumbbell workouts! Made a playlist of Batman and Lord of the Rings soundtrack music to keep me going.
As far as the weight loss goes, I don’t see any results - and actually gained a pound and a half which I’m convinced is muscle. I really don’t care, though after my big loss of weight a few years ago, weight loss just hasn’t rewarded me as quickly as it used to. Eh. I’ll probably do monthly tracking on that rather than weekly, I don’t know. I need to keep telling myself that my patience will be rewarded, and to stop the micromanaging! Gotta relax.
