I have to say I have been doing good with the eating and the struggle has mainly been to not be tempted and not eat stuff that is not healthy. Until yesterday. Yesterday's struggle was remembering to eat.
This week my boss was traveling for work in the UK and we were short staffed. I had every intention of leaving on time on Friday so I didn't take anything for lunch just some snacks as I am now trying to eat every 2 hours. I keep almonds and sunflower seeds in one of my desk drawers but I can only have so much. So I left around 1:00 and thought ok go home and eat some of the food you bought last night. As I got to my car I noticed my previous GM in Escondido had tried calling me so I called him back and found myself back in the office for what I thought would be 5 minutes. I wont go into details but I did not walk out again until almost 3:00.
I realized I was starting to get a headache and I couldn't figure out. My first thought was I was not drinking enough water and then I realized that is all I had really done aside from some hard boiled eggs, some fruit and a handful of almonds. I wont lie I saw In-N-Out and thought of how I could have a protein burger without the spread but then said it's not work sitting waiting and then driving home. So as I got to Long Beach I compromised and told myself after the afternoon I had I could go ahead and go to my favorite place Enrique's and order some ceviche to go. So that is what I ate.
When I got home I had my ceviche and it was heavenly - when isn't it from Enrique's. I sat down and did some things and before I knew it, it was almost 9. I realized I needed to eat something else but I just wasn't hungry and I didn't have the energy to cut any veggies or heat up some chicken. I finally told myself to eat some of the sliced jicama I had in the fridge.
So my point in this post is not to tell you how great it is to not eat but rather the contrary. It is so important that we eat the right food at the right time.
This morning I did the 21 day fix Lower Body Work Out and it kicked my bootie and my left knee. The one I had reconstructive ACL surgery on in November. There were moments I wanted to quit and say forget it your knee can't take this but I pushed through. I also did 5 minutes of the 10 ab workout. I had planned on going on a 15 mile bike ride early this morning but that didn't happen as I didn't get much sleep and it was very warm when I woke up this morning. So I am going to improvise and go to the gym after I post this. I will be setting my alarm clock for 5:30 am tomorrow morning and do a 15 mile ride at 6 am - wish me luck!!!
