Day 3 LM21DC

Woke up a little before 7am.  Had a hard time forcing myself to drink water.  Breakfast was good because I "beefed up" the eggs with more veggies.  2 eggs, spinach, sweet peppers, onion, mushrooms in olive oil topped with spicy salsa (229 calories, 4 protein, 10 carbs, 3 fiber, 15 fat).  Feel pretty great energy wise!

Taught RPM at 10 AM and burned 438 calories.  I felt great!! Only a little muscle soreness.  I couldn't drink my protein shake fast enough!!( 93 calories, 20 protein, 0.3 fiber, 2.3 carbs, 0.3 fat).

For lunch I made tuna salad.  2oz albacore tuna, 1 hard boiled egg, olive oil, Dijon mustard, celery salt, salt and pepper.  I put that on top of mixed greens carrots and tomatoes.  I topped the whole thing with some balsamic vinegar.  (259 calories, 10.3 fat, 23.5 protein, 12.2 carbs, 2.3 fiber).  Also 32 oz of water.  Yummy but not filling, left me wishing I could have double:(.   Energy wise I'm still great!  I dove right into a painting project to keep myself busy until it was time for school pick up.  

The 3 o'clock hour is always the worst for me....bored, hungry, tired.  Today I have a dull headache.  I either need coffee or Advil (maybe both).  

Before I head back to the gym I grab 4 slices of turkey, a handful of cherry tomatoes and 12 raw almonds (185 calories, 8.3 fat, 18.7 protein, 8.3 carbs, 2.5 fiber). I teach my CXWorx class about 30 minutes later and still feel really great.  According to the hr monitor I burned 232 calories in 32 minutes.  

Before I get to supper here is a side note.  PREP ahead of time is a huge must!  I prepped what I was going to make for supper before I went to the gym and so when I got home I had supper for 4 people on the table in less than 30 minutes!!  Making several servings of the small meals like tuna salad and broccoli slaw can really help calm your nerves (and prevent you from grabbing non approved meals out of the pantry) when you are ready to eat.  When I am out of time with NOTHING prepped I try and grab sliced turkey, raw veggies (tomatoes or carrots) and 12 almonds.  

Ok, Supper:  Turkey and Veggie Patties over Baby Spinach topped with Guacamole (290 calories, 11 fat, 13 carbs, 33.6 protein, 5.3 fiber) YUM!  I actually felt full (for at least an hour...).  Even our guests said they liked it!!  

Overall it was still a good day.  Still hauling it to the bathroom every 30 minutes or so but nothing super annoying that make me want to give up!

Total calories 1056.  The rest is below:
