First week of eating better plan is down. Last week I ate really well, loosely tracked my calories, lost seven pounds, was incredibly productive, two days of Zumba and one day of strength training. I couldn’t have asked for a better week.
Here is a sampling of what I ate:
honey apples with raw almond butter and raw honey
sweet potato with sea salt, olive oil, cayenne pepper and garlic
peppers and steak with cauliflower “rice”
lots of local fruit
eggs with mushrooms and chevre
feta and local beef meatballs with homemade tomato and basil sauce over local zucchini
I also had ribs, chicken, kale, salads and some un-paleo rice and peanut butter. I only had a craving once for sugary/floury comfort food which was quickly put out of my mind when I knew how physically horrible I would feel. I feel good eating this way- clear, less moody, less depressed. Not up or down, just like a (relatively) normal person. I had one episode of feeling depressed and that was after eating way too much peanut butter before realizing that it was made with sugar. I remember thinking “why do I feel so bad?” It’s taken me a very long time to realize that my issues with depression are directly related to food and activity.
I don’t feel deprived, bloated or unsatisfied. I eat when I’m hungry. I’m not overly concerned about calories. I just feel a little more sane. And I’m losing weight.
I have three sessions of Zumba planned, the new Insanity workout DVD to try and another session of strength training.
Here’s to another successful week!
