I have an issue with carbs and when is the best time to consume them. So I thought I would experiment this morning, n=1. I have been wanting a "pb&j" this week so I decided to make one this morning. I was debating between having it before or after my gym time. I opted for before. I was up early and decided after doing a few things around the house and going to get coffee from Dunkin' and a donut for the pups that I would come home and make it. I was pretty hungry and thinking that it wasn't going to cut it but I was going to try it anyway.
I have 2 slices of Legit Bread Company bread with homemade macadamia nut butter and Trader Joe's Organic Reduced Sugar Blueberry Preserves. While it was good I can say that I still feel hungry and a little light headed. I know I can't possibly lift so I went to the kitchen for the rest of my steak from last night. I was a wreck for most of the afternoon. I went to the gym for my workout and it wasn't bad but it wasn't the best either. After the gym I stopped at Trader Joe's for a couple things and then headed towards home to pick up some tailoring, vitamins and a macchiato. I did make a protein shake for after which I downed on the way. I was starting to feel better but wasn't completely there.
I got home, cleaned up and meditated for 30 minutes. The 30 minutes does end up going by pretty quickly though today I didn't relax as much as I wanted. I picked up a few things around the house and got my lunch together for work for tomorrow. I ate some roasted broccoli. I swear I was just super hungry. Damn those morning carbs!
D was on his trainer in the basement and when he finished we decided to get an early dinner, like at 4pm! Early bird special!
D wanted gluten free pizza and he likes the Domino's version. He gets ham and green pepper. Tonight he added on mushrooms which he "doesn't like" but wants more vegetables. I went to 7Greens to get my beloved Blake Bowl. I asked for roasted brussels but ended up getting broccoli! What?!? I know they are both green but not the same! Good thing I love broccoli too. I'm finally full! I can't actually believe it. It took all day and a bunch of meaningless calories and blood sugar crashes and spikes for everything to come back to normal!
