Day 3

Good morning! I had to get up early this morning for work. We're having out Christmas lunch today and my boss is allowing us 2hrs. So I'm trying to leave right after so I only have to work 6hrs today woohoo!!
For breakfast this morning I'm having a soft boiled egg and a green smoothie. My green smoothie consists of spinach, mixed fruit, chocolate whey protein, flax seed and almond milk... Mmm mmm good!
OK let me get my day started!
Until later....

Well, it's later LOL!! Today's LiveFit workout was legs....whew!! I'm gonna be paying for this for a few days! But it's all good because I'll be having 3 days to rest after tomorrow ( I can't wait lol!! )

Today at work we had Christmas lunch at Olive Garden. I checked their menu last night and I couldn't find anything clean on their menu. So I opted for the zuppa tuscana and salad. I sholdn't really be focused on calories but I had 2 bowls of the soup and it's about 170cals/bowl. Then when I got home, I made a peanut butter wrap and then I chilled for a hot minute before I did my day's workout. For some reason after my workouts, I don't want anything to eat :-( I think that has something to do with my blood sugar levels. Even though I don't have diabetes, I do have insulin resistance which is affected by glucose and insulin not producing in my body the way it should. I'm trying to make sure I eat at least 1 hour before I workout no matter how ling the workout will be. Most of my workouts have been between 30mins to 45mins so far. I think once I increase my weight, it may take a little longer to get thru the workouts.

Now I'm having dinner....turkey burger without the bun and a baked sweet potato. I'm really digging baked sweet potatoes, but I think I'm gonna start adding pecans or walnuts to add some crunch and variety. I don't think I'll eat sweet potatoes every day, but I know they're a slow digesting food and my blood sugars should evenly stabilize...at least that's the plan. But I'm still dealing with "empty" feeling in my stomach. I'm not hungry, but my tummy feels like it wants to growl lol!! In the middle of the night, my tummy will make sounds lol and it wakes me up lol!! I guess I gotta increase my protein or eat more often. I mean, I don't think I'm burning that many calories for my tummy to feel so empty, but hey, who knows?!?!

Well, I'm outta here for hte night!! I'm about to go shower and catch up on Grey's Anatomy!!
Good night and I'll check in tomorrow.
