So, since Aunt Flo has only just arrived I listened to my body and took it easy vegging on the couch and watching a few scary movies. Before I was on the clean eating plan as soon as Aunt Flo arrived I would use her has an excuse to stock up on comfort food and pass the time away munching away mindlessly and feeling sorry for myself. I would completely justify my bad eating habits on the fact that I felt crappy already, chugging down a couple of boxes of Tim bits (donut holes) wasn't going to make a difference.
I understand us females feel totally lousy this time of the month and if indulging in a few goodies makes you feel better, that's okay. But if you have an addiction to food it can have an incredibly destructive effect on your mind, body and especially your health. If you indulge in a couple of chunks of chocolate or a bag of chips, that's not too bad, but I would totally go overboard in my addictive behaviour and chow down enough to satisfy a 300lb quarter back! I also find when a craving is connected to a hormonal reaction it is twice as tough to fight, I realize that strong craving I had a couple of days ago was connected to Aunt Flo, but I didn't give in! So basically it is possible to not have chocolate and not want to kill everybody you come in contact with! It certainly isn't easy, but it's doable.
Down the hatch:-
Breakfast: 2 slices Ezekiel toast, 6 egg white omelet, 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, large glass of water & cup of coffee.
Lunch: Potato salad, made with herb ed Greek yogurt, low fat goats cheese and snap peas, large glass of water.
Snack: 1 apple, handful of nuts, large glass of water & cup of coffee.
Dinner: Salmon fillet, 1/2 baked sweet potato, broccoli & large glass of water & cup of tea.
Activity: none, feeling too crappy.
Well, I'm off to check out Jennifer's body. Oh, get your minds out of the gutter, I'm talking about the movie "Jennifer's body", hopefully it was a good choice, it's pretty difficult to find a good horror flick these days. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, bye for now :)
