Food & Exercise -- 8/26/2004
Lots of both today :-). Took the day off from work and hung out at
the gym. Food: 5:00 (driving to gym): ready-to-drink protein shake 7:30 (gym cafe): breakfast sandwich: tortilla wrap, Egg Beaters (2 egg equivalent), 1 oz. cheddar cheese, 1 oz. turkey breast 10:30 (bought from supermarket next door to gym): banana; 1 oz. cashew nuts 1:00 (also from the market): 1 1/2 cups red grapes; 1 1/4 oz. cashew nuts 3:15 (Italian restaurant w/ gang from the gym): 3 meatballs w/ tomato sauce 7:00 (driving home): 1 cup red grapes 8:00 (home): 2 poached eggs on 1 slice whole wheat toast w/ 3 slices melted f/f cheese Totals: 1847 calories, 75g fat (37%), 176g carbs (38%), 126g protein (27%) Exercise: 6:00 a.m. -- 1 hour studio cycle class. Class is based on heart rate monitoring and this was a "performance workout" -- most was at or above anaerobic threshold. This was my first time doing this, and I found it pretty challenging -- was pretty fried afterward for a while. A friend teaches it and I wanted to try it out, but won't go normally because of the time. 8:00 a.m. -- 75 minute yoga class (Not too strenuous -- good stretching.) From then until my Olympic lifting session: steam room, eating, clothes shopping trip, more eating, hanging out in the gym playing with some of the equipment a little bit, more eating :-) 4:30 -- Olympic lifting (a sort of short and easy session -- schedules were a bit askew today): Shoulder warmups Power cleans: 1x5x15kg/33lbs; 1x5x25/55; 1x4x30/66; 3x3x35/77 Back squats: 1x5x20/44; 1x5x30/66; 1x5x40/88; 1x3x50/110; 3x1x65/143 Chris 262/141/ (145-150) |

I'm still feeling off. I will have to speak with my psychiatrist to see if
it's because of the medication. I feel dark inside and not caring about much. Oddly enough I'm not craving sweets or junk food. Sometimes I just don't feel like eating at all but when I do eat I almost can't stop. I'm not sure what to do about it. I'll have to force myself to eat only 3 times a day, no snacks. I'm not drinking much either. B.F - none, wasn't hungry Lunch - (all left over from BBQ) 1 soy burger+bun -oinions raw 1/2 hot dog (big jumbo juicy kind) 2 glasses of iced tea dinner (also left over from BBQ) 2oz steak (cut up into a stir fry w/teriyaki sauce) 1/2 cup wild rice veggies Once I realized I was only at 700 calories (minus the iced tea) I felt like I was "due" some snacks. 1 cup lucky charms cereal 1/2 cup milk 2 slices of bread w/margarine 1 tbsp caramel spread for bread Total calories 1550 Exercise - walk to vet and back (about 20 minutes total) water - maybe 1 litre This is very destructive behaviour but I'm hoping that by recognizing it and seeing why I'm doing it will help to stop it. So far the scale is the same. 228.5 on wednesday, 229.5 today. |

1 cup lucky charms cereal 1/2 cup milk Cplus, I have a question for you. Why do you keep the Lucky Charms in the house? I don't recall your living situation, if you shared it, but would it be possible to not have these around? It seems that you get in to them and then beat yourself up about it. I don't like to see your beat yourself up about what you eat... -- jmk in NC |

It's the fact that I haven't got a good adult cereal (my other choices were cocoa puffs, corn pops or cinnamon toast, all were on sale) Normally the kids don't have all the sugary cereals. At most they have one or two but since these were on sale (3.99 for a 725g box) and since the kids eat cereal like it's going out of style (we also go through 4ltr of milk in two days) we're trying to save a little money. I'm not beating myself up for eating the cereal, I'm angry at myself for just giving in to the urge to eat when I know I'm not hungry and don't really want anything. Thanks for the concern |

Could you consider improving their WOE at the same time that you are working on your own? For example, maybe you could have Cheerios in the house for the kids (more fiber, less sugar, similar calorie count).

I can understand saving money but is it a bargain if you are posting about how you ate it and shouldn't have eaten it every day? And if they eat that much of it wouldn't you want them eating something healthier than Lucky Charms? I'm not beating myself up for eating the cereal, I'm angry at myself for just giving in to the urge to eat when I know I'm not hungry and don't really want anything. I'm sorry. There seemed to be a lot of angst in your posts. -- jmk in NC |

For example, maybe you could have Cheerios in the house for the kids (more fiber, less sugar, similar calorie count). Otherwise, would you consider having them eat a cereal that they like but you don't like? No, the kids don't need that. Usually like I said they don't have that much of a choice. They do also have honey nut cherrios and crispix now and usually have mini wheats, shreddies, life, special K and others around. We mix up the cereals usually. It's also a rule that they have to eat 90% of the cereal we have on hand before we buy them more of anything. Their cereals don't tempt me. I had the lucky charms because it was the only cereal from the selection I had that I liked. Now I have just right and vive soy so I won't eat any more of theirs. Normally the kids don't have all the sugary cereals. At most they have one or two but since these were on sale (3.99 for a 725g box) and since the kids eat cereal like it's going out of style (we also go through 4ltr of milk in two days) we're trying to save a little money. I can understand saving money but is it a bargain if you are posting about how you ate it and shouldn't have eaten it every day? And if they eat that much of it wouldn't you want them eating something healthier than Lucky Charms? I think my above post explains this. I'm not beating myself up for eating the cereal, I'm angry at myself for just giving in to the urge to eat when I know I'm not hungry and don't really want anything. I'm sorry. There seemed to be a lot of angst in your posts. No need to apologize and I hope that you aren't thinking that I'm being defensive at your posts. I'm just trying to explain my lifestyle a bit more. You did sense angst but it's not from food. Food is what I'm turning to because of the angst. I seem to be battling personal demons inside and I'm not really on track with the food. I don't get mad at myself for having eaten it but I do question why I ate it. What it gave me and if I'm likely to do it again. Once again, thanks for the post |
