I had a tough week. I just wanted to snack / graze all the time and that's no fun. If I let myself snack then I feel bad about it. When I'm truly really hungry and I can't wait till my next meal I'm ok with having some extra calories. I don't believe in starving myself. I'm not sure that my calories consumed is accurate. I think I actually concerned close to 500 more than that.
I had a couple of realizations as I was buying groceries today. The first was when I bought half and half for the week. I buy a small, fat free kind but I've been buying it EVERY week and not logging any of the calories - not to mention the calories from evil creamer I have at work. That's almost 400 right there! I've also been using more cheese, sugar free syrup, and sour cream than I've been logging. So it could really be more than 500 not logged calories. Yikes. That's no good. I did include an extra workout but if you look at my stats I didn't make very much progress this week. I really wish this would speed up a bit!! It is my own fault for cheating. These are calories I wouldn't even notice were missing.
I think the reason for my snacking / grazing cravings this week was work. I'm just sort of fed up with it. I need a break! I work too many hours. And I also made a realization that I want to get out of my current line of work and start a career in health and fitness. This will probably be a couple years from now but it's fun to think about. I'm not sure what exactly I want to do. I need to do some research.
So for this week I'm really really really trying to stay within my calorie limits. I've upped them for the week (I will still come in less than this week if i stay on track) and made 50 free calories for the day that aren't worked in anywhere. I'm going to account for all cheese, creamer, sour cream, and sugar free syrup I eat this week. If I want more I can use the extra 50 calories for that. I am also going to try to only have coffee in the morning and just have tea at work.
I'm going to switch up my protein / carb high & low days. I will have 4 high carb days. Will I notice a difference? We'll see!
