Lizzie - Day 15

Day 12 – Thurs May 10:

Weight: 121.5

Exercise: Bob Harper’s Kettlebells: Sculpted Body dvd (45 min), 2.4 mi run (20min)

Food: 1503 calories. 14.9% protein, 24%fat, 58% carbs

I had oatmeal, Pop chips, cranberry juice, protein smoothie (yogurt, banana, frozen berries, orange juice, chia seeds, whey powder, Nanogreens supplement), Bánh bao (steamed bun with ground pork, Chinese sausage, and quail egg inside), Laraball, Pop chips, red lentils, penne pasta with tomato sauce and leftover alfredo sauce.

Thursday was a really good day. I got ridiculously sweaty during this workout, it felt great. And I ate pretty well too. I could’ve had less Pop chips, but I was in the right calorie range.

Day 13 – Fri May 11:

Weight: 120.5

Exercise: Yoga Meltdown dvd (30 min), 6 Week 6 Pack dvd (30min)

Food: 2120 calories. 15.1% protein, 22.6% fat, 54.8% carbs.

I had a Laraball, twizzlers, oatmeal with milk, tuna, banana, 1/3 chocolate Powerbar, 2 Mexican pastries and bolillo roll from Superior Markets, “fajita salad” – carne asada with greens, onion and bell peppers, and avocado, popcorn with some butter, salt, and sugar, and then ¾ Corona, ½ Red-Headed Slut (cranberry juice, peach schnapps, Jager), and 2 shots of Fireball cinnamon whiskey.

Friday was good because I had an hour of exercise, and most of my food choices were good. Unfortunately I ate way more pastry than necessary, and I had 390 empty calories from alcohol, so my calorie count was way higher than it should be!

Day 14 – Sat May 12:

Weight: 122.5

Exercise: none

Food: 1588 calories. 14.9% protein, 19.3% fat, 59.3% carbs.

I had my protein smoothie, ½ of one of yesterday’s pastries, egg sandwich with homemade bread roll, egg, and mayo, 2/3 chocolate Powerbar, tuna, banana, carrots, “aguacata bread” (this cinnamon bread a coworker brought from her hometown in Mexico), mashed cauliflower, ½ slice Domino’s pizza, cranberry juice, 1 shot Fireball cinnamon whiskey, Coors Light.

I only had 5.5 hours of sleep Friday night, which I always notice hurts me on the scale, though I was happy that I was able to not have too high of a calorie intake even with a little booze.

Day 15 – Sun May 13:

Weight: 123.5

Exercise:  none

Food: 2050 calories. 15.1% protein, 37.4% fat, 51.5% carbs.

I had a maple nut Clif bar, dried plums, banana, tuna, banana, greek yogurt with honey, blueberry almond granola, Pop chips, burrito – wheat tortilla, 2 eggs, tomato, cilantro, ½ avocado, sour cream, 4 squares Ghiradelli chocolate, Laraball, Pretzel Crisps, bolillo roll with 1 ½ small avocados.

Today I was also surviving on 5.5 hours of sleep or less, with having friends over and having to get up at 6:30am for work. Today I just felt nonstop hungry, when I really shouldn’t have been. I blame my lack of sleep! I ate mostly healthy, except for starting my day with a Clif bar (I used to do that all the time when I had work early, but I’ve been trying to avoid that with all the added sugar) and snacking in the evening instead of having a real dinner. A roll shmeared with avocado is so good though – nature’s butter!

So I definitely have not been going in the direction I want to be the last few days, though I feel optimistic that a few nights of solid sleep and more time to exercise will help get me back to where I need to be.
