Exercise: My workout was chopped up this morning at the gym for various reasons- 10 minutes elliptical, 25 minutes on the treadmill, varying intensity. Used the incline function on the treadmill- never have before. Also, my butt hurts today. Just sayin'.
Notes: Still trying to work out what I should do about eating in the morning before hitting the gym. I had the cereal about 20 minutes before working out and it gave me a small cramp. I was also tired today, I had a restless sleep and I think I had my tea too late in the day. I tried to read up on the the question of eating before working out. It looks like I should stick with something light. Just trying to figure out what works for me!
It is about 8pm now, and I feel exhausted. I realize I didn't have enough fluids today. Usually I drink water all day but today not so much. Bad Robin! I think this is why when it came to dinner time, I just gave over and ate my entire "pizza." In the end, it really wasn't too bad calorie-wise due to all the veggies, but I still would guess my dinner clocked in around 600 calories. The crust itself was 420, and I am guessing the rest. I am definitely going to ride this carbohydrate bomb into a sweet snooze very soon....
Many comments from me today:
ReplyDelete-this lavender honey! Please elaborate...where'dya get it?? Sounds awesome!
-Food before work out: Did you see Nikki's comment about raisins? That could be a solution. I've noticed that if I'm feeling a little hunger pang, a few bites of low fat cottage cheese does the trick. I'm sure you'll find your food, with a little experimenting.
-I'm usually Bad Danielle every day with the fluids. It's funny because I drank less water than usual today too. I hear that when you're thirsty it can register in your brain as hunger.
-pizza calories: that pizza sounded healthy as heck. And! I think it's quite possible it wasn't as high in calories as you think. Check out this 200 calorie pizza; http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2007/04/27/diet-recipe-the-200-calorie-pizza/
-It's 9pm but it feels like 3am to me...I am so tired too! Night...!
My friend Christine bought the amazing honey, it was $35 for a tiny jar!!? She gave me some and I have been savoring it. So good. The texture is amazing. AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing i do when I wake up is drink a huge glass of water. CHUG. I probably have 3 more before I leave the house. It's the rest of the day I am bad about! Yesterday I forgot my commuter mug, so I didn't have my tea either. Got to remember my mug!
As far as the pizza, no, I don't think it was bad at all! AND.....drum roll please.... I got 10 hours of sleep last night! Pizza coma!
