Some days you have to sit and take inventory of the things you say and see if they match up with what you do. I did that tonight..and I am missing the mark. Yesterday I said I was gonna go hard this week in an attempt to lose 4 pounds by next Monday. Where have I missed the mark? Let's see, I did not work out on Monday and then today made some bad food choices and did not go to Spin Classs. This is the 2nd day into a new week so let me correct myself now and do better for the remainder of the week, 4 lbs must exit from me by the 15th.
Today was not a good eat day...
Breakfast
Egg, cheese, & bacon burrito
Now you may be thinking what's wrong with that? I carefully observed the prep method of this burrito, and the cook put so much cheese on the burrito. If I had to estimate, it was maybe about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese! The other thing that disturbed me, is that they deep fried the bacon! I was completely stumped, when I saw bacon coming out of the deep fryer and being added to the top of my burrito! Oye! This is a good reminder to me: How things are prepared is just as important as what I eat. Food cooking methods add addional and unnecessary calories, fat, sugar, salt, and every thing else.
Lunch
Yoshinoya chicken plate
A co-worker of mine, so politely invited to take me out to lunch to Yoshinoya. I have never been there so I was like okay, I will give it a try. When we walked out of the restaurant and had the food in the car, I began to smell a strange aroma coming from the food. It really did not smell right. Now to the normal uninformed eater, one would think, chicken, veggies & rice is a pretty okay meal. I breifly felt that way until I got back to the office and opened the food.
The veggies is covered in some kind of sauce like substance. I can't even tell what it is. It did not taste like butter, but it had an oily consistency that was horrible! The chicken had a wierd taste. I could not put my finger on it. I was completely disappionted. I went ahead and ate the veggies while shaking off as much of that sauce as I could and ate the chicken. Rice was left on touched.
