Well, I gained some weight this week.
I was fully expecting to!
I ate lots of chips, loads of cookies, and an entire pizza.
Sigh.
This week I'm planning to skip the junk food and go back to a pretty basic concept: FOOD IS FUEL.
Food should not be used for anything but fuel and occassionally celebrating. There is nothing to celebrate this week (I'm obviously not a father, so no father's day goodies for me!) so this week food will be fuel.
No point in eating things like chips and cookies when their nutritional profile really doesn't help with feuling my body now, does it?
Here's what I'm planning to eat this week:
whole grains- oats, barley, brown rice
beans- black, kidney, garbanzo
vegetables and fruits- all sorts! Mostly fresh but with a few canned tomatoes and frozen broccoli
healthy fats- avocadoes, peanut butter, almonds, olive oil
processed foods- Lara Bars, Boca burgers, tortillas, Wasa flatbread crackers
I'm also going to keep up my exercise routine! This week's eating and exercise should get me back.
OF COURSE, just as a reminder to myself and to you: I'm still in my goal weight range of 142-146, just barely. :-) So not much harm was done. Plus, with the chips that I ate late last night, there's a good chance that at least a bit of this gain is water weight.
I'm no discouraged at all, just moving on to healthier eating this week!
