I missed posting yesterday, mostly because some days teaching and coaching gets busy. Tuesday was a really good day for the food habits. I had a clif builder bar and a muscle milk in the morning, which always feels pretty good with all the protein. I had some mixed nuts for a snack, then had left over African peanut stew and wheat breadsticks for lunch. I had a banana and a yogurt in the afternoon for a snack and finished the day off with a crockpot chicken taco dish that Kim made. I have noticed that I do better on days when I get more sleep the night before and Monday night I got some pretty decent sleep for me (6 hours).
Wednesday was game day, basketball wise we really have a light week this week as we amp up to the culmination of the season the next 2 weeks. I had an apple, yogurt, and granola bar in the morning. Lunch was a turkey sandwich with hummus and carrots. Dinner was donated by some of the players parents and was pizza. I probably didn't eat enough throughout the day and overate the pizza. To complicate matters further, when I got home I saw the leftover lemon meringue pie and had a slice at 10 pm. I am conscious of not eating too late, especially sweets, but sometimes my brain gets lost.
Overall, still a couple of fairly good days. I still haven't had a Pepsi, which is good, but I can tell my brain and psychology is getting close to the point of telling myself that "I have earned one". I don't think having a Pepsi occasionally is a terrible thing, but at this point it would likely open a flood gate of having a few Pepsi's. So trying to avoid this.
Until next time -
Awesome Kyle!! Don't DO PEPSI! U can do it! You are exactly right you start with one and it will open up floodgate for you! Also… Somebody throw that stupid pie away LOL
ReplyDeleteI think that's a great job but I do have to agree with mother ha ha the longer you have that pie the more tempting it will be! Sounds like Kim is making some amazing meals I need to come up and try! Love you man keep it up!
ReplyDeleteResist the urge of Pepsi!!
ReplyDeleteI am dealing with the same cravings except it is Dr. Pepper. As of 2015 I have only had one, and if it wasn't for Eric quitting as well I would have caved a long time ago.
I have to agree on the fact that I don't think it is awful to have one here and there (insert groans and gasps here) I have allowed myself 12 for the year of 2015. One for each month, and by 2016 it will be 6 and so on and so forth. I would love to get to a point where I am indifferent about drinking DP, until then this is my strategy to "wean" myself off of it.
Keep up the good work, you sound like you are getting a good routine down!!
