EXERCISE: The Chinese meal of sesame tofu gave me a bad case of the sugar blues this morning. While I did ride my bike for 15 minutes, I was hovering 14 mph not 17 mph. As a result, my distance was 3.6 miles, and I only burned 206.1 kcal. However, a friend came over for yoga this afternoon, and we did a fairly vigorous yoga workout to a session in Curvy Yoga.
DIET: I had a smoothie for breakfast, on diet. I made a tilapia recipe with chick peas instead of tilapia, for dinner, along with a salad with red wine vinegar dressing. I used olive oil again for the salad, breaking the no-oils rule on my diet. I also looked into essential oils to aid in weight loss, as I was getting into setting up my travel kit. Peppermint essential oil can curb cravings and reduce the appetite. I’m going to try it tonight if I get the late-night munchies.
ACCOUNTABILITY: I need someone to remind me how I felt this morning after eating all that sugar yesterday, if I ever consider eating a ton of sugar in a single day again. I feel this is going to come up as I have a bunch of blueberries that need to be made into a cobbler. Which of course needs to be served with vanilla ice cream. I just need to be sure to send the ice cream home with someone other than me.
