I woke up today in a little bit of a panic. First off, I woke up before my alarm, and came right awake, which is highly unusual for me. And then I realized - I had no idea what to do with the plethora of vegetables and fruits now residing in my fridge. No clue. So the day was tough.
"Breakfast" consisted of a couple of cups of green tea with honey, which surprisingly worked really well to take the edge off the hunger I was feeling. The kettle was boiling water all day, practically, as any time I started to feel hungry before the magical noon time resulted in me downing another cup of honeyed green tea. And then noon came around and I had to figure out something to eat. So I opened up the bag of coleslaw (cabbage & carrots) and pulled out a heaping bowl and mixed it with a little lemon juice and honey and some random herbs that I pulled from the cabinet. Made a mental note to go get fresh cilantro as that would have added a really nice, needed flavor to it. Real exciting, right? I also had a banana and a fistful of carrots later on. At some point I broke down and had an apple as well, although that technically put me over the "3 fruits/veggies" limit. See, you're only supposed to have a combination of any 3 fruits/veggies for the day, and ONLY those 3. But you're also only allowed one banana - so I figure that means I can put in a substitute fruit for the second meal. They say the best combination to do is 2 veggies and 1 fruit, so I will try to do that.
Hit the gym for about a half hour to just walk on the treadmill to get a little activity in. I had asked Andre about the gym, since I just recently joined and go fairly regularly now with a friend and I didn't want to abandon her. He actually encouraged me to keep it up, but keep it light. Walking good, running bad. So that is what I shall do!
Quite a struggle with hunger today, and I can't tell you how much tea I ended up having. Going to bed with a grumbly in my tumbly.
