Just because something becomes a habit doesn’t mean there are days when it’s hard to stick to that habit.
Coffee.
It’s been a part of my life and flow in my day for so long.
The only time I abstain from coffee is while pregnant (although I did have a little bit while pregnant) and then afterwards, while nursing I cut it out and slowly increase it back in.
But when you’ve got such big changes going (having a baby), the coffee change doesn’t really compare in the scope of the new family addition. At least it didn’t for me.
Yesterday was Day 2 without coffee. I went into the gym for my leg/glute workout and felt like a zombie. I only fell asleep twice on the leg curl machine.
Joking!
But close.
I did it. I worked out and even did my HIIT for 15 min.
The hardest part of the day was about 1:00 p.m. Robert was gone to work and I had just eaten lunch and I was exhausted!!!!
Do you know what I did?! I found that one thing that was mentally weighing on me (on my TO-DO list) and I started working on it. And would you believe it?! It boosted my energy!
I decided to start with only 10 minutes. 10 minutes snowballed into hours later and it was done!
Yippee!!!!
I made it through that afternoon with only eating 1/2 protein bar extra than was on the plan and no coffee.
I feel my belly inflammation going down and I am still waking up at 1:00 a.m. but I’m sure my hormones will figure it out sooner or later that they need to produce melatonin and get me to stay asleep! :))))
Anyway….here’s for Day 7’s Diet (LOW Carb)
Meal 1 same as on meal plan
Meal 2 whey protein, white rice, peas, cashews (were my selections)
Meal 3 Chicken breast, white rice, (I ran out of avocados so I went for 16 cashews), stir fry veggies
Meal 4 One protein bar (I also had an additional 1/2 bar bc I was craving more!)
Meal 5 London Broil, roasted veggies
Meal 6 same as on plan with about 1/4 c or less of trader joes corn
I keep it simple. I keep my choices limited to the plan. I keep food food and feelings feelings. That’s what seems to have worked best for me throughout this last year. 🙂 More about food and feelings in another post. But for today! Happy Tuesday!!
