... which is a good fit. I like her style :)
So my day went fairly well. I woke up tired, dragged myself to work (which I was late for) then school (which I was late for) then dinner with my mom and Ben (which I was late for).
Food-wise-
around 10:00 I had a Special K protein shake (which are OK.. but I want to try to get one with less sugar. Muscle Milk maybe?) and a string cheese... about 260 cal.
then around 1:00 I had another Special K and an apple... 190 plus whatever an apple is worth cal.
I got hungry again around 3:00 so I had a sandwich (whole wheat bread, turkey, cheddar cheese and mustard) with a sugar free pudding... about 320 cal.
Dinner around 7:00 and it was tough, we went to a burger place for some reason. I managed to find a sandwich that wasn't terrible (I know, another sandwich... exciting palate I've got) that was almost identical to the one I ate earlier except the bread was white and there was a lot of it, and there was the addition of lettuce and tomatoes. In the interest of full disclosure, I ate about 4 onion rings too. Now, I have no idea how to estimate here. I only ate half the sandwich. I'm gonna guess around 400 cal. (? am I lowballing it?)
So that puts it at about 1170 for the day, which seems WAY low. And is, I guess, if Jillian is telling me to get closer to 1800. Should I try and get that number up, or is eating more frequently gonna help on it's own? I haven't been hungry today at all. Nor have I been thinking about food.
Exercise-wise today was pretty much a bust. I was running around a bit at work, but the rest was just normal light activity. Not on my ass all day, but certainly haven't gotten a workout in. I was thinking about doing a Jillian exercise DVD, but those kick my ass and I'm already feeling pretty sleepy. Besides, I don't wanna take up the entire (tiny) living room in our one bedroom apartment when Ben is here trying to enjoy his evening. I'm unsure. Although, again, in the interest of my metabolism exercise is supposed to be one of the more important things I try, right?
Right now I feel full, but I don't know when I'm going to go to bed. Should I eat again or not? I'm inclined to say not right before bed, but then again this whole week is about trying to restart my metabolism.
A blog I've come to really love is Never Say Diet. It's a body image blog, written by a former eating disorder sufferer (or do you say former? I guess it's not one of those things that gets cured... maybe recovering) and I really love hearing her input on things. I really think she has some valuable stuff to say on a bunch of issues surrounding body image and she always makes me feel a little more normal about myself after reading.
Adieu, Adieu, to you and you and you.

Anything below 1,200 is supposed to be too little for an adult woman. I'm guessing that the reason you haven't been hungry is because your metab isn't up to speed yet.
ReplyDeleteI, however, have a confession to make: I WAS hungry today, and after coming home from the evening's events, went after the PB sandwich(es). And a bowl of cereal. It all started with Mom getting one of those single-serving things of Lucky Charms - which she got for me b/c of our joke about my dream when she punished me for eating only the marshmallows out of the stuff - and after my (healthy & normal-sized) dinner, I was like, oh hey, a treat, and I ate it. Then I went out and then when I came home, like I said, I was hungry. And yeah. I... cannot allow myself to eat after dark. F'ril. =\ oh well, back to it tomorrow.
Amanda, that would actually be great if you could make a post about not beating one's self up for diet snafus.
Maybe we can walk together more often. I'm pretty sure that the exercise component of the diet I'm going to have very little trouble adhering to, it's breaking the fucking binge habit.
FML & rawr, what a frustrating evening.
