Well I did it, I did NOT eat any grains yesterday, imagine that! Now I did binge when I got home from cycle class, which is more related to my addiction to eating and snacking than the fact that I as hungry (I'll tackle this soon). Our goal right now is to transition away from grains and to healthier foods. I have a much bigger snacking problem than Matt does, so I'll let you know my strategies for fighting it!
Even more exciting, I did not eat grains this morning for breakfast. I usually eat steel cut oatmeal, but this morning I had three eggs and one turkey sausage with a cup of 2% milk. I know the milk has got to be cut back, but its my safety blanket right now. To my surprise, I had just as much energy at the gym, if not more! I can already see some truth to the paleo diet! I just need to get my book so I can read up as much as possible so I cna figure out how to balance all this protein, one step at a time though.
On the menu today:
- Breakfast
- 3 eggs (over easy) and 1 turkey Sausage (it was a big one, about 160 calories)
- Post-work out snack
- Snack at work (the additiction to snacking)
- Lunch
- Steak and left over banana squash with onions, strawberries for desert
- Snack
- Dinner
I need to get better at planning more in advance. I felt a little overwhelmed last night as I wasn't sure what to bring for lunch. I know I have the fancy quote about not letting perfect get in the way of the good, but that is a hard thing to do! I'm an all or nothing kind of gal, but I am learning to let go of the little things, not get overwhelmed and get back on track when I lose my way. Boring post today, but I hope to share more later about what I've learned from my soon to get here new book and am planning to take before pictures next week!
