Week one has come to an end. I normally find the first 3 to 4 weeks to be very hard. I think it is my body getting used to not eating so much. I felt the hungry pains quite a bit this week. For some reason it is the worst in between breakfast and lunch. It seems like every day around 10-11 my stomach is screaming at me to feed it.
There were a few things looking back at the past 7 days I think I could improve on. For example I went to Subway 3 times this week. Each time I got a foot long instead of a 6 incher. Next time I really need to stick with the 6 inches of glory instead of adding the extra unneeded calories. I don’t really consider Subway “going out to eat”. Most of the time I can get a free sub because I have endless Subway points, and where else can you get something so delicious for so cheap? I will continue to “Eat Fresh”, just 6 less inches of it.
My colossal mistake came on Saturday night. The wife and I were out shopping for a while and both of us were hungry. We should have $5 Dollar, $5 Dollar, $5 Dollar foot long and split it. Instead we went to Pizzera Uno. I thought I made a good selection by ordering this chicken stuffed with spinach and a bunch of other crap. It was good but I failed to realize that it came smothered in alfredo sauce. I tried to avoid as much of it as I could but the damage was still done. I am not trying to being a complete diet Nazi but I know anything that is white and creamy should not be swallowed (That’s what she said). I’m talking about alfedo, mayo, and any kind of creamy dressing. I try to avoid them as much as possible but I love ranch so I try to stick with a low fat version when I absolutely have to have it.
It’s actually refreshing to look back at the past week and see where I need improve and things I could have done differently.
It’s funny that I love to eat unhealthy so much because I had some really great meals this week. The best meal was one I whipped up for myself and the wife. She loves potatoes, any kind you can name. Baked, mashed, smashed, frenched, you get the point. I on the other hand am not a big fan, I like the frenched version but really do not like the other kinds. Anyway, so I got two baking potatoes. I cut the skin off, and then cut them in to slices that resembled French fries. I threw them into a strainer and washed them under cold water. Then I got a baking sheet out and sprayed it with that non stick stuff and put the fries onto the pan. So your thinking these are going to be bland French fries right? WRONG! I kicked them up another notch by seasoning them with Emeril's Original Essence Seasoning. This stuff is top notch. Then put them in the oven for about 20 minutes at 400 and BAM, instant French Fries. They were pretty awesome. We also had a turkey burger with it, no bun though, to many carbs.
A few other things I had this week that I would recommend was Special K Fruit and Yogurt. This cereal is really good. Another good cereal I had this week was Banana Nut Cheerios. On the dinner side of things a good side I had this week was Green Giant Cheesy Rice and Broccoli. This stuff is really good. It only has two servings in the bag at I believe 150 calories a serving. I highly suggest any of these foods.
Anyone else have any good foods you enjoy??
Last but not least, yesterday I joined the local gym to get my sweat on. I really hate going to the gym. That’s the thing though, I just hate going, but once I am there it feels good to be doing something. I think my favorite part of going to the gym is listening to my Ipod. Next week I reveal some of my favoite songs, I bet you can't wait!
That’s it for this week. Thanks for checking it out!
