And then temptation found me. Well, not as bad as I thought it did.
So, I joined this challenge whereby I have committed myself to track everything I eat. Even if I overeat, which is humbling and shameful to post (at least for me it is). Usually, once I mess up I don't track for the rest of the day - starting fresh the next day. However, this week, I've tracked every single thing. And I found out that my indescretions aren't as bad on paper as they were in my head. In fact, on my worst day I was still at a 78 calorie deficit. I'm still hoping for a good weigh-in this week. But I'm not expecting any huge number. Just down is all I'm asking, just down.
I've also discovered the joy of canned salmon this week. My husband HATES fish. The smell of it makes him sick. Because I love my husband I don't cook fish in the house where the smell can linger and linger and linger. I usually only cook fish on the outdoor grill or eat fish in restaurants. Other than that, it's no fish for me. But I've really been wanting to add more fish to my diet - 3-5 times a week. I did my research and I've found out that canned salmon is really good for you too! (Just make sure you've got BPA free cans.) It's super low in mercury. Get the kind with bones and skin and it's really high in calcium too! Already this week I've eaten it in a noodle soup, had a salmon salad sandwich, and ate it over my salad. I've ordered a case of it off of Amazon and can't wait for it to get to me. The brand I ordered is kinda pricey, but it was hard finding BPA-free cans.
I'm hoping that the salmon Omega-3 oils are going to help with the winter blues. I've also started taking fish oil supplements, gingko, and St. John's Wort to help combat it. Also started taking Spirulina tablets as it's the #1 super food you should be eating (according to them).
