Today's exercise - a 5.94km run. I took a different route this morning, and there were a few decent hills in there, so while I wasn't particularly fast it was still challenging me, pushing me. There is a 5km Women's Fun Run on March 3rd, so I'm excited to be doing that.
Breakfast: Two peaches and a bowl of grain free granola with almond milk.
Morning tea: A fruit leather, a choc orange ball, some strawberries, a slice of pickled pork (offered to me by a friend) and a cherry tomato.
Lunch: Coleslaw in a rice mountain bread wrap and another fruit leather. Then more coleslaw. I finished the rest off.
Afternoon tea: A casheroo, a peppermint tea and a choc orange ball.
Tea: Leftovers of what we had last night (sesame salmon with vegetables over quinoa).
Dessert/Late evening snack: I had some watermelon with the kids. Then, my eating for the day went a bit haywire... I'd been in a sad mood all afternoon and couldn't seem to snap myself out of it. I felt like snacking on something savoury, so I bought some vegetable chips - organic sweet potato chips and organic parsnip chips (both had only three ingredients: parsnip/sweet potato, oil and sea salt). I figured they've got to be a semi-healthy option. The only trouble is, I then proceeded to eat the entire contents of both bags. After I finished those, I then had a piece of my fudge that's been sitting in the freezer.
So yeah... emotional eating is still alive and well here. I guess it's about making sure it doesn't become a habit that is the trick. Yes, I over ate, but that doesn't mean I need to then go off into a downward spiral of eating junk food. No more yo-yo-ing remember!
Even though the chips were a healthier option, eating too many of them has still had a similar effect to eating junk food. I've woken up today (I'm posting this on the morning of day seventeen) with a bad taste in my mouth and a weird feeling in my throat, and I feel bigger in the tummy than I usually do first thing in the morning. Lesson learnt, again.
