4:45am is so early (especially when you are not a morning person). Right out of the gate I am just unhappy. Since my husband (who is a morning person) is teaching class with me, I have to speak out loud before drinking any coffee and the conversations go a little like this:
Me: DAMN!
Hubby: What now?
Me: God, nothing!
Hubby: Seriously......
Me: Why are you making the protein shakes in the little bottles, you are going to make a HUGE mess!
Hubby: I'm trying to help, can you just let me make them? Here do it your way!
Me: You filled to coffee cup too full!
Hubby: Again trying to make YOU a cup of coffee
Hubby:Why did you disappear while I set up all the weights
Me: words I can't post
Hubby *plants head in hands
I'm not sure how we make it through that Pump/CX class without killing one another because it was physically tough. Pretending like every muscle is not screaming at you and fighting shortness of breath while motivating others to keep going was only done this morning with sheer adrenaline. Oh and I forgot the hr monitor so I'm guessing I burned maybe 300 calories in 60 minutes. I did not feel strong and went light on weight for most of the exercises. Wow, just wow. I drank my shake on the way home ( 93 calories, 20 protein, 0.3 fiber, 2.3 carbs, 0.3 fat).
So about 20 minutes later I feel less murderous and start talking to my hubby like he is indeed my favorite person in the world (because he is). He even kisses me before heading to work so maybe just maybe this day will not end in tears:)
I am wanting my second meal pretty quick after I take the kiddo to school but when I get home I do not want to cook so I reach for the pre prepped tuna salad and carrots (222 calories, 10.8 fat, 8.7 carbs, 22.7 protein, 1.9 fiber). Not filling but I have painting to do so outside I go!
I get a call from my mother in law to join her for some shopping so I hop in the shower and get dressed and run out the door. She reminds me I haven't eaten but I brush it off (mistake) and we head out. We find the wreaths we are looking for and head to the grocery store and I realize I am famished. So I pull into the drive thru at Panara Bread and I order half of a green salad (no cheese or croutons) with chicken (150 calories 6.5 fat, 10 carbs, 1.5 fiber, 13.5 protein). I reached down into the bag and out pops a small loaf of fresh baked bread. Before I can even think about it I toss it out of the window!! It smelled so good:/ When I got home from shopping I ate 12 almonds because the salad had no dressing so I needed the "healthy fat" component to my meal (85 calories, 7 fat, 3 carbs, 1.5 fiber, 3 protein).
For my afternoon snack I grab my quick go to meal. Turkey, carrots and almonds (240 calories, 9 fat, 13.2 carbs, 25.6 protein, 3.3 fiber).
Supper was another really good one and this one was packed with calories and fat (relatively speaking). I used a pasta alternative, Shiratake noodle made from Konjac root plant. The noodles themselves only have 15 calories in 2 oz!!!! Anyway I topped the noodles with green beans and cauliflower that had been stir fried on sesame oil, tamari soy sauce, rice vinegar, and garlic. Then added tilapia that I pan friend in coconut oil (393 calories calories, 20.5 fat, 12.7 carbs, 38.5 protein, 6.2 carbs). It was good and I was happy to feel full (not stuffed though) for the first time in days.
Not the best day energy wise but a good day spent with family as we all walked downtown to watch the kiddo dance in the city Christmas parade:)
