I hate taking Ibuprofen. It usually upsets my stomach. But this morning… I was desperate. I’ve never been so sore after a workout (or at least in a long time!). I did lower body weights. Squats and lunges with weights and It’s killing me!!
Plus I lost track again. If I get through the Masters program without gaining weight, it’s truly going to be a miracle. I was supposed to be studying all day, and kept getting distracted with snacking. I was pretty good, but nothing I can account for. You know, grapes, pretzels, more Pirate booty, a granola bar, more fruit. Just unconscious, hand to mouth, stuff.
New goal: For every 2 hours of solid study, I get to do 1 hour of something else, like blog, cook, read for fun, clean something etc.
Second goal! More beans. I will eat 1/2 cup of beans every day! If its dinner and I’ve had no beans, I will eat them straight from the can!
So, let’s see. Breakfast: More oats mixed with raspberries, and egg whites.
Cottage cheese and peaches
For lunch, egg sandwich
Applesauce with the sandwich
Then, that is when I lost count. I started OK, but I don’t even know how far it went.
And I was actually EXTREMELY good for myself. I only had a few scoops of cookie dough, and one cookie! Success for not getting sick off of cookie dough for the first time in my life!!

I love beans. I could even eat them straight from the jar! There are so many different kinds, too. I like Northern White Beans, Pinto Beans and Black Beans best. Not to crazy about Kidney Beans, but I will eat them! Glad to hear you didn’t binge on cookie dough. It’s always a surprise to me when I exercise some restraint. I know what you mean about the mindless snacking…if I don’t write things down, I’m sunk. I always at least write it down on a scrap of paper (I always have a pen and paper in my purse). That way I am forced to think about it, or at least remember it after the fact.
What about putting your beans in your tortilla with egg whites. Or would that be gross? Lately I’ve been doing brown rice and black beans in a tortilla for lunch. I’ve even added veggies like asparagus to my wrap. I flavor my rice with taco seasoning when I cook it so I have a little flavor.
