Today I got up early and did a 30 min walk. It wasn't exactly easy to get up. I'm more of a night person if I had to categorize myself. I woke up early did my walk ate breakfast, and was so famished that I went back to sleep. Finally when I woke up it was hard to get going. Later in the day I met with my trainer and had a pretty good workout.
Breakfast - cream of wheat
snack - veggie chips
lunch - grilled chicken, salad, and rice
snack - roasted chestnuts
dinner - cottage cheese and veggies
It's hard to get used to eating carbs. I felt so bad eating rice that i was worried about eating dinner. My trainer and the numerous nutrition books that i have read, say that carbs are essential. In any case it's still hard to get through that mental block about eating carbs.
I also had a run in with a friend of mine who is taking diet pills. This is another source of frustration for me. Taking fat burning pills has worked for me in the past, but obviously it wasn't something that had a long term effect for me. I never really liked how fat burners made me feel. I talked to my trainer about it and he said to pass them up. I will have to say the several times that I've turned to fat burners they had some kind of negative effect on me. This time I am going to "just say no". In a way it is an empowering feeling to say that. It's exciting to think that this journey will be different than any other that I have taken in this battle with my body and mind.
Today I am encouraged.. :)
