August 10 Update and Diet Menu
Today I have been miserable in this heat. Actually I can’t complain since the summer has been pretty mild. So mild that we didn’t even bother putting in the air conditioners. Today however has been unbelievably humid and t I just don’t want to do anything but stay near the fan.
I missed my weigh in yesterday because I wasn’t home but hopefully will have a good one next Sunday. I actually had really salty ham Saturday night so if I did weigh in and it showed a gain, even from just retaining water I would have been depressed.
I didn’t cook today because of the heat but ate pretty healthy. Here is my menu for today:
Breakfast:
Fat free almond and honey yogurt (was saving for a diet smoothie experiment but out of cereal and didn’t feel like eggs or toast)
Coffee with half and half
Lunch:
Light hotdog with ketchup, mustard and relish
Pickled cauliflower
Skim milk
Snack:
Strawberry Lemon Diet Smoothie
Dinner:
Wrap with roast beef, light swiss and a little mayo
Side salad with Italian dressing (put some of my salad on my wrap)
Diet lemonade made with Splenda
Where I did well: Got in a lot of dairy today at breakfast, lunch, in my smoothie and in my wrap at dinner. My carbs were spaced out today which is a must for insulin resistance. I also watched my portion control.
Room for improvement: Half and half in my coffee is full of saturated fat but I don’t see myself giving that up anytime soon. A hotdog on a white roll not a great choice, even if it is light. Used full fat dressing and full fat mayo at dinner but at least they are healthy fats. Yogurt not sugar free but I don’t worry about that so much as long as I watch portions. I am also not crazy about using artificial sweeteners. I use Splenda in moderation but not too often. I should also try to get in more vegetables each day.
I really need to start exercising more but not when it is humid like this. Honestly I don’t understand how those who live in hotter climates can stand it. Granted a lot of people in the south have central air but we all have to venture out sometime.
And now I am off to bed
