Eat Move Think - My Story @eatmovethink-blog - Tumblr Blog

To grumpy to write stuff. I ate, I walked. My mood has just plummeted this week. I thought exercise was supposed to lift your mood!

EAT B - forgot to eat ... Too busy L - left over pea noodles, tomato sauce and meatballs, parmesan and an egg D - 5 pc bacon, grilled cheese sandwich, butternut squash soup made by a friend MOVE 4200 steps. Busy day in meetings and working at my desk. My feet are blistered from yesterday. Makes taking steps painful THINK Met with my divorce lawyer today. The reality of my situation is sinking in. Took the wind out of my sails. Brink of tears all day.

EAT B- 2 TH bacon breakfast wraps Mint tea L - Beanito chips, hummus, kirkland freeze dried fruit D - 1 bag Super 7 sweet kale salad (1/3 of dressing in pack) 1 breast from pre-roasted grocery store chicken (skin removed) 1 hard boiled egg MOVE I rocked it today! A friend challenged me on FitBit and I saw she had DOUBLED her steps by 4pm so I did my best to kick her butt Did 15 min Metabolic work out with my kiddo (which does not count for many steps btw) I was still behind her so once I got kiddo to bed, i went down to the treadmill and walked for 55 mins! I am so sore right now! My shoes were killing me so I took them off and went barefoot. I wont be doing that again. THINK .... This is all in my head. Good or bad ... I decide Also - i need to drink more water more often. If I die in my sleep, my friend Kate gets the cat.

Looks like u forgot to post yesterday EAT Breakfast - shake Lunch - eggs, hummus, pinto bean chips, carrots Dinner - pea noodles, tom basil jar sauce, boxed meatballs, parm. .... And also some left over lasagna MOVE Nothing outside of ordinary. Had my girlfriends over in the eve for our weekly 'therapy' session so had no alone time to work out. THINK I was ticked off at someone and it totally unmotivated me to do things I actually wanted to do. Like, I 'cope' with that emotion by sitting on my ass ... Or something. Gonna have to change that.

I made very bad and very good choices today.. EAT Breakfast - nothing (forgot?) Lunch - hummus and tortilla chips Dinner - Tim Hortons chili and sandwich MOVE Today was supposed to be a Metabolic workout. I just could not bring myself to do it. I was rushed around all day and was upset about a meeting I had and just could not get my ass in gear. Once I got my son to bed I checked my step counter and was way disappointed in myself. So I worked up the guts to get on the treadmill. I planned to do 30 mins of walking. I got all the way up to speed 3 and 26 minutes in, working up a sweat and my son came down hysterical because the cat was locked inside his room with him. Apparently that is a cardinal sin.... Anyways, I still didn't hit my goal for the day in steps, but I actually did SOMETHING... So that's good. THINK I am truly coming to realize that all my poor eating habits are really really emotional based. I had a crappy meeting and immediately wanted McDonalds. I was immediately unmotivated to do my workout and just sat and wallowed. But today I did something different... Today I changed my pattern. No McD and yes to a workout (eventually) #babysteps

EAT: Kid made breakfast. 1/2 peanut butter sandwich, a carrot and apple (didnt eat the clementine) Lunch: curry soup (yum!) but had potatoes on ingredients, and 1/2 tin tuna and the red beet crackers Snack: (3pm) Protein shake (not even half - greedy kid!) blueberries, strawberries, apple, carrot, greens, vega vanilla, cinnamon Dinner: Lasagne and frozen peas, carrots, broccoli. I way way over did the portion. I friggen love lasagne. MOVE: 1.63km is steps today (welcome back FitBit!) which is totally lame, but I did a hundred loads of laundry, so lots of lifting and folding (and swearing). Thinking about hitting the treadmill to get to 10k steps... Just thinking at this point though. THINK I have to give myself some grace this month. I no longer have the finances to just not eat the foods in my fridge and go buy new. I need to make the best of what I currently have in the house and concentrate on eating 3 balanced meals, lots of protein, and amping up my water intake. When the fridge is empty(er) and there is room in the cupboards for new products, I will buy all potato and sugar free. What I am doing so far must be working though, because the detox is intense. Lots of anger and irritability. Just keep swimming... Metabolic work out starts tomorrow... Wonder how many 'steps' that will be!

EAT: Brek: peanut butter sandwich, banana, apple (made for me by my 4 yr old)

Lunch: 3 eggs, roasted red pepper hummus, and maybe 3 chunks of the bread in the pic. I wasn’t feeling it

Snack: Shared a costco ice cream cone with my son.

Dinner: 2 chicken pot pies and cucumbers

Snack: Almonds

MOVE

Costco trip, lugging laundry up and down the steps

THINK

I need to step up my food game. Didn’t even think about sugar until after the ice cream! Brain needs re-training

Charged up my FitBit, ready for some steps tomorrow. Metabolic workouts start Monday.

Protein powder re-stocked!

Here we go!

Day 1 Recap

Toast: natural peanut butter, ½ banana

Nachos: cheese, onion, jalapeño, black olives, spicy chicken, guacamole

MOVE: 1 hour of bowling with a 4 year old

THINK: Not eating sugar makes me ANGRY. Also I need to eat more protein. Like A LOT more.

So…. Stuff went awry mid October. I feel like I held it together for a while but ultimately I crashed and burned by December when I started buying chips and fries and candy again.

Today, I begin again.

Rules: EAT No potatoes No sugars (except for coconut and pure maple on occasion) More green, less brown No carbs after lunch No snacks after dinner MOVE

Do my work out 3x a week like it’s my job. Walk daily Organize my house as a form of exercise
