Time to reclaim my health

[KimWillKillHerInnerFatGirl]

Here it is... I gained weight. A lot of it. It's embarrassing. I'm ashamed. This was the cost I paid while finishing my Masters. Enough about that, the time is now and the focus is back on me.

Day 1 here we go:
Woke up at 8:30am 
9:30 Crossfit class (Yes, I made it! Yes, I wish I had performed better but baby steps. I made it!)
Breakfast:
8oz Almond milk + protein powder
Omelet: 1 egg, cherry tomatoes, sliced pepper, onion, garlic, basil (I forget what else!)
1 cup blueberry coffee (I added cream....I know bad Kim! Stop adding cream! At least there's no sugar? Bad fat girl thoughts!)

[Wendy Shafranski]

I love that you are doing this...let's get you back to your former self! (PS; you're still a beauty!)

A little full-fat cream is fine. Definitely no sugar.

Great start.

Alright. Life is back. I can focus.

Today:
9:30 CF class- I survived and actually finished the workouts.

Breakfast:
2 eggs scrambled with 1TBSP EVOO, cherry tomatoes, assorted peppers, red onion, garlic
Coffee with cream (I'm working on putting a little less in!)
Lots of water

I plan on reading about the macros tonight. I haven't had a chance with graduation festivities and having the entire family up in Orlando. It feels good to be back on track and back in my routine. (Whatever that is for now!)

[Wendy Shafranski]

OK...let's get going. And know that there is always going to be functions, family, etc...let's build habits that will carry you healthfully through all that!

Lunch:
Beef tenderloin grilled (seasoned at home) (maybe 4 oz?)
grilled yellow squash with cherry tomatoes and garlic
water with lemon
1 TBSP almond butter to squash that damn sweet tooth of mine.

( I Know.... I did make an effort to be good over the weekend.)

Dinner 4/23:
1 chicken thigh, bowl of raw carrots, broccoli, and celery, 4 small cubes of cheese
Water

4/24:
9:30 CF
Breakfast: 8 oz Protein shake made with almond milk, Coffee- maybe 4 cups with less cream than usual. nonetheless, cream.
Lunch: Low sodium chicken breast (boars head) with 1 slice cheese (I know... bad with the cheese. I need to stop it!)
Dinner: Grilled chipotle seasoned pork tenderloin (homemade) (not sure how many oz. I have a food scale... perhaps I should bring that out?), 1 small sweet potato, grilled assorted bell peppers, yellow squash, cherry tomatoes
cheat of the day: 1/2 cup ice cream

On a different note: GOOD LUCK WITH THE MASTERS WENDY! WE ARE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!

[Wendy Shafranski]

If you want to weigh and measure, then the food scale would be fine. But, I'm more concerned with you just eating right. A little cream is fine. Bot, nix the cheese (not worth it). Plan the cheats, like the ice cream, and enjoy it and move on. But, eliminate all the little things that add up that are keeping you from looking and feeling like you want to..eye on the prize!

And thank you Wendy! Baby steps... I'll focus on being better. On a positive I have promised myself no wine until after I pass my boards. That should help too! Admittedly I got out of control in school and had a few more beverages than I ever needed!
Quick question any advice on staving off hunger later at night? I've been up til ~midnight studying each night and around 10pm get hungry. I feel like I'm getting sufficient protein and drinking water so not sure... Thanks!

[Wendy Shafranski]

If you're hungry have a little snack/mini meal. An apple with alone butter. Some blueberries with coconut milk. Some hot tea?

[kimk1012]

Lunch- Skipped this because had a larger and later breakfast.
Snack- Almonds/Cashews, Carrots
Dinner: Chicken, Broccoli, sweet potato
And lots of water throughout the day (our A/C decided to quit today!!! My house will soon be a sauna!)

[Wendy Shafranski]

Ooof...no AC. You'll sweat off the pounds!
