No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!

Food before fitness.....never again

I ate well today and stayed on plan. I wasn't going to go to the gym. I was tired and just wasn't feeling it for some reason. I worked late and got home after 6 and was pretty hungry. My husband told me the gas guys didn't come today so we had no gas which meant no hot water. I heated up the leftover taco meat in my electric skillet and ate 2 tacos for an early dinner. Then I started squirming thinking about a freaking cold ass shower when it's already kind of cool and rainy outside. Then I also remembered it's Monday and the best spinning class of the week was happening. I still had 2 hours before the class and thought I would be OK but it was really not fun. My stomach really hurt and I had a hard time getting through this killer class. But I did it. I finished, got a hot shower and still have stomach cramps. Lesson totally learned never to do that again. Ugh.

Food:

Breakfast: coffee, oatmeal, almond milk, applesauce, cinnamon (350)
Snack: 1 apple (70)
Lunch: big salad w/ feta, tuna in water, lite balsamic dressing (~350)
Snack: 1 high protein snack (135), a few spoonfuls of baba ganoush (~100)
Dinner: 2 homemade tacos made w/ 2 flour tortillas (280 - ugh) + 3/4 c ground beef (~400)
Snack: probably not; feel like crap
Total: 1700

Exercise: Spinning class - 50 min - cals burned - a lot

Comment by Almost There on August 14, 2012 at 9:57am: never thought about pairing tuna and feta--I may have to give that a try today.

Comment by Keem on August 14, 2012 at 9:57am: If they have a shower at your gym, maybe you can just do it there? Nice-n-hot! :)

Comment by Erica on August 14, 2012 at 10:25am: I love tuna with feta squeeze a lemon wedge & a little olive oil!

Comment by Erica on August 14, 2012 at 10:28am: Forgot to mention that my above tuna feta dish is on a bed of greens! Great on arugula!!!

Comment by fit4life on August 14, 2012 at 11:46am: Good job on getting through the tough class...I can't eat before I work out either.

Comment by Brandy on August 14, 2012 at 5:43pm: Sorry about the stomach ache. You are superwoman for continuing with the class even though you didn't feel good! Glad you got a hot shower too. Hope the gas guy comes soon! BTW, how is school going so far?

Comment by Dee on August 14, 2012 at 7:11pm: Too bad about the sick stomach! It's awesome that you got a workout in though! Not to mention, a hot shower!

Comment by Paula on August 14, 2012 at 9:13pm: Congrats on getting in spinning even when you did not want to and keeping calories low. The only thing negative here is the tummy ache which I hope you are feeling better soon.

Comment by Cindy on August 14, 2012 at 9:24pm: @Keem - Yep, I showered there at the gym.

@Brandy - Kids come tomorrow and I feel less prepared than ever! We had FIVE days before kids came and they packed every day with too many useless meetings to count. We had about 1.5 hours per day of 'teacher work time'. It's like they just expect us to work after school and on the weekends to get what's really important done. I'm starting the year already fed up. Ugh.

Comment by Megan on August 15, 2012 at 7:52am: I was without hot water for 3 weeks in nova scotia until we got the part replaced on the hot water heater, ugh, cold showers are awful.
