Ok! The hens were a success and everybody ate. Yes, including my husband and son! My plan for workout number 2 also was almost a success!
My plan to attend the spinning class was altered secondary to an accident on the road that delayed the traffic for 15 min. As I peeked in and hoped someone will suddenly leave his bike in a full class, I realized it was a new instructor and that the class was actually very boring. So I abandon my begging and preying attitude and happily modify my plan by doing 45 min on the elliptical (500 calories and 4.3 miles) while watching Spiderman movie. I have not had my dinner yet and I arrived home ravenous. I stuck to my plan of eating half a hen and 1/2 a cup of rice except that it was not enough and I had to follow with 2 oz French baguette and 0.5 oz of feta cheese. As if that was not enough, I ate 2 truffles and left the kitchen defeated. Darn! I almost had a perfect day! ....I had a cup of tea and planned my meals for next day, meaning today.
Breakfast: 1 egg and 1/2 a cup omelette on Arnold bread (100 calories) and a cup of spinach
Lunch: 2oz canned tuna with mustard, tomatoes and olives in a small whole wheat pita bread and a kiwi
afternoon snack: 1/2 cup of lentils and 2 oz smoked salmon and in case I am late, I put in bag a cup of blueberries. All this is time consuming and I am hoping my night slip up won't show on the scale tomorrow.... except that it did... I was up 1.6 lbs ... Unfair... really unfair... I was really mad and for one of the very few times of my life, I actually felt hungry in the morning and could not wait for my breakfast. I took 2 Ak-Mak crackers and a string cheese along with my coffee and head to work at 6:30 for a very long day..
My days are intensive but once I am out, I am out. I arrived home at 6 pm with no idea about what I am going to provide for dinner. I split 1/2 a hen with my son along with the lentils from the afternoon that I never had the chance to eat.
At work, there are always donuts and bagels along with some cut up fruits. I learnt to avoid them 90% of the time. In addition to the regular, today there was also pizza and somebody brought a cake. I really struggle not to eat the pizza and remained angry about my scale reading.
I am still planning on doing something today although I am quite tired from work. May be after a cup of tea... May be I should run at home... May be I should skip working out and prepare for my food tomorrow...May be, may be, may be... this is obssession! So is the saying: "one should eat to live not live to eat" right? or the food is a real pleasure and should be enjoyed and celebrated? All I know is I have a love hate relationship with the food and the kitchen but only recently when those originally 7 Lbs to lose became 17.......
