An Obvious Secret

Tuesday, February 28, 2017

So I found the secret today to curing the Pavlovian need I have to eat as soon as I get home.

Really.  So obvious.

Have lunch at 3:30.  A big lunch.

Boom, solved.  I'll be here all week.

Breakfast:  ~ 2 oz Meijer sharp cheddar, 3 slices of Armour Novara salami, coffee

I brought the salami in anticipation of eating it before going to exercise, but I ended up just eating it mid-morning when I had the time.

Lunch:   Qdoba brisket bowl

Would describe as "pretty yuge"

Went to a different location today.  Not without some reservations, since I haven't had the best luck here.  But it was fine.  I think it helped that it was in the middle of the afternoon and there were no customers.  I got a nicely filled bowl with lots and lots of brisket and not too heavy on the rice and beans.

Dinner:   Greek Gods plain greek yogurt with a little less than 1C frozen Meijer raspberries

Not ice cream, though it does look like it!

Obviously not at all hungry when I got home, decided wait until 7:30 or 8:00 to eat anything else.  Not hungry enough to make the last batch of fried rice ... it has occurred to me that I've been eating a whole lot more rice this week, and tomorrow may well be a twice-in-one-day day.

TBH I'm surprised that the raspberries only have 70 calories in a cup with 17-9g carbs.  I knew they aren't super sugary, but that's even better than expected.  The yogurt has 660 calories in an entire large (32 oz I think) container, this is half and it's a bunch.  I found myself wondering yesterday if I was eating *enough* calories ... I don't want to go into starvation mode!

Exercise:  45 minutes, variety.

Really encouraged by this session.  Went hard and got a nice workout but didn't have much lousy-feeling time.  Better energy than usual.   The difference was notable, if I keep losing I think I'll see some real progress especialy in flexibility.
