Back to work today. Ugh. I started off with my egg and vegetables, but couldn't really figure out the carbs / dairy. I ended up with a honey and granola pot from Pret, justifying that the Greek-style yogurt was the dairy, and the granola and the honey were the carbs… not quite sure it's a go or not, so may have to find some other dairy / carb combo. Suggestions? Or could this work if I had my own low-fat yogurt (have a feeling theirs is the real deal).
Got a little tripped up at lunch too… I suppose that I really should have cooked / measured my food at home, but we have a pretty great salad bar at work, so I figured I could estimate, and as long as it was only vegetables (I usually go with tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, and peppers - all raw, plus whatever meat they have out - today it was ham), that it shouldn't be too much of an issue. Also wasn't quite sure about the dressing… I usually eat it with balsamic vinegar - not sure if that's on the yay or nay list. Still trying to figure out how to make it work… I bought a bunch of groceries tonight, so maybe I'll just give it a go at cooking some of this stuff up and bringing it with me so I don't have to be guessing along the way.
Overall, enjoyed the new workout today, but wondering if I'm supposed to be able to do 600 skips in a row…. not quite there yet :) Also, what was Patrick saying about not being winded? Definitely not there yet either. Am enjoying the fruit snacks - will measure out a couple for work tomorrow. Finished off the day with an hour or so of squash. I love that game. Hoping to get playing somewhat regularly - definitely lots of room for improvement!
Finally was a bit lost again with the PM meal… got home a bit late after squash, and wasn't sure if I should eat, or just go to sleep (isn't it bad to eat late at night?). Lots to learn about the diet component, so looking forward to learning more and more about what to do (and not do), and when!
