Thursday was a little bit different of a day. I felt good all day, but without my water bottle I know I didn't drink as much water as I should. I also felt tired for large portions of the day, I even fell asleep watching a BYU game in a fully upright position, so I was clearly tired. The strange part was that I felt like I ate fairly well but just was dragging quite a bit. In the morning, I had a smoothie with blueberries, almond milk, protein, and Adam's PB. I had a nature valley granola bar in mid morning as a snack. For lunch, I had some whole wheat pasta with tomato sauce, a clementine, and greek yogurt. In the afternoon, I had a handful of mixed pistachios/cashews/almonds/peanuts. Then Kim's parents were super kind and made dinner for us because they know how crazy it is on days when Kim and I both work and getting the girls home from daycare is crazy. This is in large part due to the girls being wackos when we get home. So it was super nice to have dinner ready when we got home. They made a homemade sweet and sour sauce with ham, fingerling potatoes and carrots, and garlic bread. I certainly ate too much garlic bread.
I don't feel like my portion sizes have been out of control. I probably need to find a way to eat more vegetables. That is the nice thing about writing it all down and seeing the dearth of vegetables that get written down. I really like Lyndsay's suggestion about drinking a ton of water in the morning. This of course would cause me to have to leave the classroom a couple of times in the morning to empty the bladder, but I think yesterday is a good reminder that when I drink enough water I feel better.
We have an away game today, which is always tricky because we are just stuck at some other gym without transportation. This usually means we stop as a team and get dinner on the way back. I am not sure if that will happen tonight since we are only playing in Box Elder. But it does mean going from 2:30 ish to 9:30 ish while being someplace without much access to my food. We shall see how it goes.
Until next time.
Again Kyle I think that is a fantastic day for you even with the garlic bread addition. Even in one week if you look at how your eating habits are changing it is an enormously amazing change. Like we have talked about before if you go to Arbys eat, don't starve yourself but maybe just be a little picker about what you eat there. Great job man keep it up you only have 5 more days until I owe you a golf time.
ReplyDeleteI 100% agree with the water I have been shocked the last coupe days from just drinking two large glasses of water in the morning how great I have been feeling through out my day.
