I'm happy to report good news for my first day of eating only me-made things. So far, I have eaten just about 1000 calories today. I haven't really done anything except workout, and I'm not really hungry. Not sure if I'm going to use those calories today. May save them for some snackies during a movie night I'm having with my friend Chris on Wednesday.
For breakfast, I made real food! Scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, and a tropical fruit cup that I just drained and threw on my plate. A lot of people hate turkey bacon. I've tried it before, years ago, when I was like thirteen at my friend Ashlee's grandma's house, and I remember liking it. Today, I thought it was okay. I do love bacon, but the turkey bacon has an interesting flavor. I also like my bacon super crispy, nearly burnt, and the turkey bacon didn't crisp up like I was hoping. It was a little chewy, but overall...not bad. And 30 calories a slice is nothing to sneeze at.
My scrambled eggs look brown because I didn't want to look for another clean skillet and just scrambled them in the bacon grease. Yummy, bacony eggs. >.>
Taking advantage of my Spring Break Sunday, I slept foreeeeever. I didn't get up until one o'clock, but then discovered it was actually two o'clock because of the time change, haha. I slept for nearly eleven hours. So fantastic.
I didn't really eat a lunch because I ate so late and my breakfast kept full until way after I came back from the gym. Instead, I had a four pieces of small bread leftover from a date night dinner Andrew and I had Friday night. On the bread, I put edamame hummus I found at Kroger. That's right, edamame hummus. I have never in my life tasted something so delicious. I'm addicted. I may never eat regular hummus again, hahaha.
At the gym, I burned 250 calories. I wanted to do more, but I started feeling kind of sick toward the end and went home to some stomach sickness. I really wish I had some pepto in this house. Gotta make a run to CVS soon.
Also, I peeked at the scale this morning and was thrilled! I'm gonna keep it a secret, though. Stay tuned for the official weight on Weigh-In Wednesday!
Much love! <3
How funny - I made that pledge to myself today, too. I told myself that only on rare, planned occasions will I eat what I myself didn't make. It just drives me nuts not knowing what I'm eating. When I cook myself, I know exactly what I've added, how many calories, etc.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see I'm not the only one!
And hmmm, I have never heard of edamame hummus. Must try!
