Today I've been fasting all day, my last meal was
yesterday at around 8:30pm or so – a huge bowl of banana ice cream with
dates and powdered peanut butter. I find
myself always indulging in sweet
fruits and nuts and I firmly believe that this is what jeopardies my weight maintenance,
together with a lack of a strict eating plan.
Good news though is that in the past 3 days I've been going to the gym
every day, actually twice
a day. Since I worked from home, I had the chance to wake up a bit later
and go to the gym in my building for half
hour of thread mill and weight machines, nothing crazy but I'm trying to be disciplined
with my exercise routine, I even went once to GoodLife gym for my favourite
class and 10 minutes of steam room –
it was great I'd admit it.
Overall I feel great,
the scale went up almost every day since I completed my 7-Day Water Fast. Something might be a normal reaction of ending the fast, something else is due
to the extra snacks I'm having here
and there for sure. In my defense I
would say that being home bored all
day doesn't actually help on staying strict on diet. Even if I'm working I should find an activity that keeps me
busy in the moment my cravings are hard to control, I should do proactive things like cleaning or knitting, that might help.
I was debating of
having a fruit salad today for
lunch, but I'm glad I didn't so I can save
those calories for tonight's supper and dessert.
I'm thinking to do a similar thing tomorrow, since I'm supposed to have a dinner
date in the evening. Yesterday for breakfast
I prepared some wraps using the one I bought at the healthy store last week, I
think I ate 6 of them including a seaweed one, it was too much for breakfast;
although delicious the amount of
calories for each one was excessive
for a single meal.
Few days ago I soaked some cashews thinking on doing a creamy
sauce for my salads but I still
didn't use it, I'm afraid they will go bad if I don't do anything with it.
There are a lot recipes with cashews, I can even do some energy bars
with dates and a pinch of pink salt; but really I don't need any extra snacks that I don't have already in my overly full cabinet! Most likely I'll do a sauce and use it for dinner tonight.
