Eaters Remorse

I talked with a friend today about eaters remorse . . . she talked about how she doesn't have it. I envy that because although sometimes I eat whatever I want, I feel so bad about it right after . . . not to the point where I want to upchuck it, however I do feel badly. I HATE when people bring food into work b/c I either go all day wanting the stupid crap, or I over eat whats there and then hate myself for it when the day is over and I've eaten 3000 calories by 3pm. I don't know if theres a way to get over eaters remorse, the topic just got me thinking.

What I ate . . . 
broccoli cheddar soup (120 - 6)
2 slices of bread (80 - 5)
Jellybeans (200 - 0)
Protein Shake (110 - 17)
Pizza (660 - 22)
Total: 1170 - 50


What I did . . . 
mile 1 run/walk (6.0/3.5 1 min ea)
mile 2 uphill/downhill walk @ 3.5 (-3.0/5.0 1 min ea)
25 min elliptical
25 min bike
Calories  burned . . . 825

Too Much?

Today was a fun day, got to decorate the apartment which is always fun. You can totally tell what one color I feel is associated with Christmas by the looks of my apt :)

Its very possible I over did it working out tonight. I think there may be ONE person that disagrees, we'll see. Justifying why I pushed so hard, I wanted my total calories burned this week to be 3500.

What I did . . . 
mile 1 and 2 run/walk (6.0/3.5 1 min ea)
mile 3 uphill/downhill walk @ 3.7 (-3.0/4.0 incline)
mile 4 jog/walk (5.3/3.5 1 min ea)
mile 4.5 walk @ 3.5 pace
20 minute elliptical
15 min rowing
25 min bike
Total calories burned . . . 1370, I was there for over 2 hours

What I ate . . . 
(so far, its only like 7pm now)
funnel cake (300 calories?)
1/2 egg salad sandwich (100 - 5)
100 calorie popcorn (100 - 3)
chobani yogurt (140 - 14)
Total: 550ish - 22

I might go eat something fatty tonight, thats the mood i'm in currently.

Protein Review . . .

Chobani Greek Yogurt.

I'm not a huge yogurt fan, but I enjoyed this stuff.
I liked that it was thicker than yoplait or other brands and it didnt taste too horrid.
I'd like to taste another flavor, peach didnt strike my fancy.

I Rocked It!

Bad Feelings

So I'm in a weird mood right now.
Its 10:30 pm and I'm sitting on my comp feeling bad for myself. I'm not going to go into details I just have a sense within me that is pathetic.

I didnt workout today . . . I was feeling better in the evening and I could have/should have worked out I just didnt . . . I hate hate hate when I do that, its no one's fault but my own however I do this so many times, and the worst part is at the end of the day I feel horrid for not going. I genuinely enjoy working out but find it the hardest thing to motivate my body to do.

I'm feeling pretty wonky about other things in my life too . . . personal life, work life, living situation and friends. I'm feeling negative so I'm looking at things with a pessimistic point of view and thats not healthy.

Today I was driving home and I was thinking to myself "what makes a person happy?" Like how do you know you're truly happy? I know I'm happy when I'm working out, or when I'm hanging out with friends or when I'm with family . . . The question that stand is am I happy? I dont even know what would make me happy? Or what would motivate me to lead a lifestyle thats considered happy. I wonder if people look at me and think, wow that Cheri is a true Debbie Downer . . . probably after reading this posting they will.

No info on what i've eaten today . . . it was all crap!

Forgotten Lunch

So I forgot my lunch today and it made me sooooo upset.
I had a discussion with how if you forget food then you're obsessed with the fact you dont have food. However when you do have your lunch but dont have time to eat it then its not a big thing on your mind. I think thats sooo true, I thought I was going to die this morning when I was prepping for work, however once the day started and I was teaching it wasn't such a big deal to not have food.
Interesting . . .


What I ate . . . 
Mocha Mint Coffee
2 Green Apples (190 - 1)
Diet Coke
Chili's House Salad w/ dressing (400 - 15)
Chili's Tostada Chips (300 - 4)
Swedish Fish (140 - 1)
Total: 1030 - 21

Not the best . . . but I'm paranoid about what I'll see tmr on the scale

The winner for protein tonight was a Clif bar (chocolate chip)

 Not super amazing but it was nice knowing that I could eat a chocolate bar that tasted like candy after my workout :). It was the bar with lowest amount of protein, but I think has a high # of calories. Not bad, would buy another one. Friday  morning will be my next workout, which means my next judgment of protein . . . I'm thinking the shake :)
