No more nuts

Body for Life, day Who knows what….

Looks like I’ll be adding Almonds to my list of foods I can not keep in the pantry.  Too bad, because Almonds are so healthy.  But I completely lack self control around these things. I have no idea how many I actually ate.  I’m making my husband take the rest to work today.

Here is my list of foods I can not buy for the same reason:

  • Trailmix (the one with the M&M’s)
  • animal crackers
  • vanilla wafers
  • Resees Puffs cereal
  • Ritz Crackers
  • any box of cookies
  • And now… Almonds.

So, for Monday- I started off well.  I had a 30 minute run on the treadmill (although it’s gorgeous outside… but I was meeting a friend at the gym). Then we did our upper body weights.

I got home, and around 7:00 ate egg whites, mushrooms and toast

DSC_2079 I’m trying to space things every 2.5 hours rather than 2.  So at 9:30, I ate a whole wheat chicken wrap with avocado and tomato, and some fat free cream cheese.

Then, at 2:30- I was in class , so I slowly ate  a bar:

Then at 5, I ate this great dinner.  Some local beef, a potato, and green beans.

DSC_2137 And then ALL DAY, I ate these almonds. And I mean ALL day! I have no idea how many I ended up with!  ARGHHHH.

I so get this. That trail mix with the M&M’s is deadly. But here’s what I do instead (equally bad): grab a pinch of cashews…then a pinch of chocolate chips…then raisins! Like I don’t KNOW where I’m headed as soon as I grab the cashews!
Go ahead and try the protein powder in the pancakes – I used 1 scoop for a triple batch and you so don’t know it’s in there.
