Back on track

The past few days I feel like I have just kept eating and eating and not listening to my stomach.  Today has been good, and I feel much better.  It felt great to sleep in a bit (til 10)…I didn’t go to sleep until 2.  I haven’t gotten more than 6 hours of sleep for the past 3 days, so I definitely needed my sleep.  I think that has a lot to do with my uncontrollable eating.  It is a beautiful day  I had 3 servings (2.25 cups) kashi Heart to Heart cereal with 1 cup soymilk and a blueberry soy yogurt for breakfast.  I didn’t take a picture because it’s basically the same as yesterday.  Lunch was at the dining hall.  A BBQ mushroom wrap that was very tasty.  It had a little too much oil in it though for my liking.  Plus I had a small banana and a few bites of pasta salad that I stopped eating because there was absolutely way too much dressing on it.  Gross!  I estimate my lunch was about 500-600 kcal and breakfast was about 600.  Right now I am sipping on some Tazo calm tea  I need to vacuum my room and maybe watch Yes, Dear.  Then I will be off to the gym for a workout before dinner!   

 

Breakfast

I didn’t have time to post yesterday…too busy working on my speech because I waited until the last minute.  I had Kashi Go lean cruch for lunch with soymilk and two small oranges.  I also had silk yogurt, clif nectar bar, snacked on Kashi H2H, and ate some soy crips throughout the day.  I went to the gym and did 50 min ET.  Dinner was at the dining hall…soba noodles and kale.  I like kale!  That is the first time I had it.  It was tasty…probably from salt and oil they used.  haha.  But it was good.  I snacked on newman’s own pretzels until late even though I wasn’t hungry.  I think I ate out of boredom/not feel like doing my speech.  It happens.  I swear all that easter candy really threw my body out of whack because I could not get satisfied all day, but my tummy was so full from snacking all day!  I got really tired at about two.  I think that is from the sugar too or something.  My breakfast wasn’t balanced either, so that didn’t help.  Oh well!  This is exactly why I like to eat balanced and healthy meals because I feel soo much better and energized…not polluted with all kinds of garbage.  Breakfast today was Kashi H2H (about 1.5 cups), soymilk, and a small banana.  With water and multivitamin.  My speech went okay.  Could have been better, but that’s what I get for procrastinating.  I went to bed at 1 am, which is better than my last speech, which before I went to bed at 4 and got up at 6!  Crazy!  I may take a nap at 1 after my morning classes are done.  I feel like drinking tea all day long  It always makes me feel so good.  

 

Superfoods breakfast

I woke up to snow on the ground :-(  booo.  I cheered myself up with some breakfast though!  I like to include as many superfoods as possible throughout the day, so today I made oat bran (1/3 cup dry bob’s red mill), with 1/2 cup soymilk, 1/2 cup water, medium sliced banana, a cup of frozen blueberries, cinnamon, and 1 Tbsp flaxseed meal.  I topped it with chopped walnuts.  Banana is the only food not listed as a superfood, but it is a sidekick of one of them!  It was yummy, but I missed my peanut butter, and pumpkin too.  I prefer old fashioned and steel cut oats over oat bran.  The texture just isn’t as yummy and smooth.  Still delicious though…and filling! + a cup of chamomile …the color of my cereal doesn’t look that good haha.  But now I’m going to the kitchen to make some hummus!!!

 

Breakfast and Lunch

I wasn’t able to post this morning because I went to the dining hall for more musousy oats (with sliced banana, tsp brown sugar, Tbsp raisins, and a splash of soymilk to help it cool down because I didn’t have time to wait) right before my 9:30 class!  They were better today though, but I got the same boring thing plus a cup of watermelon and a glass of soymilk!  I went to speech class, listened to my classmates give speeches, then studied more for my archaeology exam during my hour and forty-five minute break that is usually only an hour!  I couldn’t focus, but I think the test went pretty well!  After that I went back to the dining hall to pick up some lunch to take back to my room (29 passes left!).  I got a cup of 9 bean soup (I only counted 5 beans), 2 oranges, and a little 8 ounce bottle of water because that’s the amount you can get for one pass, which costs about $10.  What a rip off, huh?  So, I put together a lunch when I got back to my room.  The bean soup, an apple, blueberry silk again (don’t mind because I like these a lot), kashi honey sesame crackers, and a cup of yummy organic white tea!  Oh, and my multivitamin and B12 that I did not take this morning.  :-)  I am going to relax now until my 3:00 microbiology lab.  After that I will be on the bus heading home for the weekend because I don’t have class on Fridays  I’ll have a snack, then head to the gym for a workout.  Can’t wait for some real food!  

 

Rushed

I didn’t wake up early enough before class to include posting time, so here I am almost at lunch time.  For breakfast I finally finished off my bag of instant oats that I have here in my dorm.  I prefer old fashioned Quaker Oats, but cook them on the stove.  All I have here is a microwave, so the instants a much easier to make in it.  Being pressed for time, I contemplated on having cold cereal, but the oatmeal won me over again!  So, I had…1/2 cup dry instant oatmeal1/8 cup (or 2 Tbsp) chopped walnuts…it was the end of the bag, so they were more like crushed!1/2 cup soymilk1/2 cup waterand 1 medium sliced banana in the mix.  (I added the nuts and banana after cooking) and had a multivitamin and B12

I am hoping my pictures get better once I get my camera from home!  Even though I prefer my oats old-fashioned on the stove and with the banana cooked in, this was not bad!  I ate at 9:00, now, I’m going to the gym for some ET and treadmill for 50 minutes, then it will be lunch time!
