Exercise: Run 1.87 miles, 22 minutes
Breakfast (late.) Peanut butter sandwich. It was weird because I have not really gotten used to the timing of trying to let Kristyn sleep whenever possible, me waking up with Joey and eating breakfast. I don't want to eat too close to the run because it had a negative effect on me the other day. BUT If I eat early enough, it should be ok. Maybe I'll try eating as soon as I get up tomorrow. We'll see.
By the way, I'd like to point out that I went to Home Depot again and did not get my Red Bull!
Lunch: Leftover Pork + Egg noodles, 1 pack of fruit snacks. This was not the most sizable meal I've ever eaten. Let's see how long it holds me over for. :-) Good thing breakfast was late (11:15) and so was lunch (1:15!)
Snacking: Rice Krispie Treat - really love these when I'm dieting. It feels like I'm breaking the rules. hahaha. But it's like 90 calories and so worth it! I feel like I had something else but I really can't remember. It I did, it was very small. I still have not been able to dive into the fruits as snacks yet. I have to try to force myself tomorrow!
Dinner: For dinner tonight, I marinaded some shoulder steak in a steakhouse marinade and grilled it with a baked potato. Also boiled up some broccoli. This was a great meal! Really enjoyed it and looking forward to it again tomorrow for lunch (minus the baked potato.) The photo is missing half a potato and half the broccoli. Kind of forgot to take the photo and just threw the extra piece of steak on the plate with whatever I had left. :-)
Snacking: Italian Ice! The red one. I feel like I'm back at Surgent Park playing little league and getting an ice from the field house after the game. :-)
**Special Note** At this point, the last meal that I ate out at all was some pizza on the Tuesday night while in the hospital - the day after Giuliana was born. I had to get out and get a slurpee and some pizza. That makes today the 9th day that I have not only eaten all my meals at home, I have not even so much as bought a bottle of water at a CVS or a soda from a vending machine. I must say, the money savings is pretty incredible!
My last Red Bull was Monday morning on the way to the hospital, so that has made me 10 days Red Bull, Dunkin and 7-eleven free. I've replaced my morning breakfast - Donut, Bagel + Red Bull with water, eggs, bagel thins, cheerios, things like that.
And the god-forsaken "heat lamp of death" which is what I call all of the hot food at 7-eleven - that has to be a thing of the past! Wings, bad pizza, taquitos, jamaican beef patties, oh it keeps going! I know it's nasty, but I really like those horrible foods. BUT, I feel much better physically and I'm feeling really good about staying away from all of that so far.
I have to be honest - I'm not sure I have EVER in my life - even as a 6-year old kid - had a 9 day stretch of 100% home owned and prepared meals. Not gonna lie, I'm kind of impressing myself!
