DIET-- The four letter word I dread. I love working out, but I also love eating out. I love fast food, I love candy, I love sweets, I love carbs. Diet is my downfall. Baby steps. Some things I have learned about myself: I have to be eating all day, or I will binge eat when I get home from work. I might look small but this girl can EAT. I'm trying to gain weight, so I focus on high protein snacks. Not all of my favorites are pictured here. I've also learned that I need sweets in my life. Crunch love is my favorite granola because it has little chocolate chunks! YUM. It's also vegan which I think is really cool. I usually get the peanut butter flavor because it has just a little more protein. But I tried cinnamon because, well, it's cinnamon. I've also learned that I need/want meat. In the past when I have gotten back into my fitness routine I cut calories like crazy. I eat eggs, and some lunch meat, fruit and veggies and call it good--this time around I'm meal prepping taco meat and actually finding myself full at dinner. Before I don't even think I would attempt to diet for dinner. I would eat ramen. I don't cook--so like I said baby steps. I like to end my day usually watching a show or relaxing (I coach gymnastics full time and so by the end of my day I just want to sit and do nothing) and snacking. I never feel bad eating halo top, or BOOM CHICKA POP! Kettle corn flavor, 35 calories a cup! I usually try to keep my diet low carb, high protein, but I do like bread. So sometimes I'll do sandwiches for lunch--like I said I'm still learning and this is all baby steps. Anyway this is my food journal from yesterday and I keep it pretty consistant give and take a few things.
