Bedtime
I was getting ready for bed about an hour ago but began to get hungry. I decided to take my own advice and drink a big o'l glass of water to help get rid of that "hunger" feeling. Then I remembered the last time I had looked at my caloric intake, I was way under what I was supposed to be. I think I was around 9??, where I'm supposed to be at least 1571. Oh man, as much I hate to eat after 9:00, I knew I had to put something in my gutt. If I don't, I will feel weak tomorrow and my body will not do well. So, knowing what time of night it was, the best thing I could eat is lean protein. At least by eating that, I will burn some calories while I'm sleeping. I was out of my turkey, so I decided the next best thing my granola, grapes & some water. So I went to town, I just finished 1 and half granola bars each of 130 calories. About a half cup of grapes and 2 cups of water. So now my calories are close and my water is closer. So win win on both sides. I wouldn't have gotten my total water in take if I hadn't made myself eat. Even if no one ever reads this blog or these posts. Even if I never touch a single life with these comments, suggestions, ideas and tricks, at least I feel good knowing I'm keeping myself accountable. I had not been keeping up with my water or calorie intake and dealing with this fatigue & weak issue a lot lately. I'm really feel I'm at least helping myself be more accountable and maybe changing my own life with these posts. I'm going to total my caloric intake and my water on the previous post. I still think I'm a little low on the calories, but not as bad as I was going to be. I'm trying to stay between 1200-1571. That will allow me to stay energized for my workouts, gives me room to play and "cheat", but also allows me to loose weight. I sure hope I'm in as much control of my diet tomorrow as I was today. Today was a really good day of control.
