Bootcamp Day 3

For some reason I could not sleep last night. Oh it was not for some reason...it was because my 8 month decided that she wanted a girl's night and would not go to bed. So I finally dozed off at midnight and sure enough, at the crack of dawn I was up again. I DO NOT GET IT! Maybe my body is preparing for my return to work. All I know is that I got six hours of sleep which is no bueno!


Water: My water intake was much better today. I took down 10 cups of water. Still short of my goal but better than yesterday. I'm trying not to beat myself up. The last time I did the bootcamp I beat myself up over everything. If I did this wrong or did that wrong, I'd come down on myself so hard. If someone lost 9 inches and I only lost 1, I'd beat myself up about it. That's not life and I refuse to do that again. I'm truly trying and if I am giving it my all, that's all that I can ask. I also made sure that I took my water jug with me to work today. That helped A LOT!

 

Food: I had a good idea for breakfast in my head. It's too bad that didn't translate over to my plate. A while ago I had wheat French toast made with egg whites and cinnamon, topped with greek yogurt and strawberries. It was the BOMB! However this morning I did the same recipe with peaches  and vanilla greek yogurt mixed with vanilla whey protein. Chile I had a lot going on. I thank God for that turkey sausage link because it was my saving grace. It wasn't nasty but it was delicious either. It was just blah! After breakfast I headed to work armed with a fiber one bar.(Look at me planning and ish). The only problem that I had was that I only planned on being at work for a little minute. I ended up staying there way past lunch and by the time I left, I was starving. I wanted fast food so bad but I reminded myself that it was simply not an option. It didn't help that I passed by a thousand fast food restaurants before I got home. Every time I passed one I was like

 

I wanted a cheeseburger and large fry so bad. But I made it. I stopped by Walmart to pick up a few last minute ingredients for dinner and grabbed a bag of chips.

 

 

Chile those bag of chips was 450 calories. I could've had a cheeseburger and fries for that. Ok maybe not the cheeseburger but definitely the fries. Guess I have to cross chips off the list too. That was an insane amount of calories. Anyhoo, the highlight of my day was dinner. I see that I'm being limited to one great meal a day and I really need to get that in check lol. Dinner consisted of wheat spaghetti and homemade meatballs, corn on the cob, and garlic bread. The meatballs were oh so yummy. One of the rules of bootcamp(and the one that I really love) is limiting processed foods. So I looked up a recipe on allrecipes and boy oh boy....it was delicious! Like seriously...they were so freakin delicious! And easy to make too.(ground pork, beef & sausage, 2 eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, oregano, parsley, white pepper, salt, thyme, minced garlic, garlic salt, and parmesan cheese ... baked at 350 degrees). And I wont even go on the smell in the kitchen while they are baking. Just know that my house smelled lovely for about a good 60 minutes.

 

 



Exercise: My workout was me unpacking at work. When I finally made it home, me and the fam loaded up the truck and hit the tennis courts. I must say now that my level of respect for Serena Williams went up by 100. Tennis is no joke. We had a 25 minute game before I had to wave the white flag and give up. My clothes were soaked in sweat and I could hardly breathe. It was awesome! Definitely a great workout. Of course my legs are sore but that's ok. Tomorrow I plan on working out my core.

Success: Spices (use oregano, thyme, garlic, parsley), water intake, no fast food, no sweets

Keep working on: Making better choices ..... 450 calories for a bag of doritos is ridiculous. Also planning better. I am away from home a lot so healthy snack options need to be researched.

Til tomorrow
