So yesterday was “Jersday”, which for me means a very late night. And with all the season finale excitement, I got the late night munchies which led to a very bad food choice (or should I say anti-food choice). I ate a whole serving and a half of this terrible treat and I’ll be honest with you I didn’t enjoy a second of it. It was filled with regret, followed by remorse and a very upset tummy. I learnt my lesson, so I think I’m going to sum it up to a learning experience instead of dwelling on a “failure”. I choose to view it as a stumbling block not a fail. Pick up, dust off and continue.
But now I’m faced with a bigger concern, it’s the weekend! How am I ever going to survive the weekends!?!
I made sure to start my Friday off right with a Vega whole food optimizer protein shake, with added chia and flax. Once you get over the grassy taste you can truly appreciate this amazing clean and green protein beverage. It’s fantastic vegan, gluten free and additive free! Now I wouldn’t replace every meal with it, but it is endorsed by clean eating and the thrive diet so it is a good high speed alternative especially when you add in all sorts of good foods like spinach, seeds, fruit etc into the mix. I also packed healthy foods to get me through the day: edamame, low fat cheese, apple, seed mix, cucumbers slices, fresh peas, a few olives and 1 square of 80% dark chocolate for a little pick me up. I’m quite proud of myself so far.
Though tonight may be a bit of a challenge…it’s a sushi date!
Though I’m going to be smart about it, start with miso soup and/or edamame, steamed veggies/ baked tofu, sashimi with ginger and very little low sodium soy sauce, maybe a few pieces of sushi (fish/rice/veg). I’m going to be really good and avoid all the tempura and saucy rolls. I’m also doing my caloric research on my lunch break today to make sure my choice are the best they can be. I definitely need a game plan. Sushi/Japanese is one of those adventures that can be amazingly healthful or just downright terrible. Wish me luck!
