8 Hours of Pure Misery

Monday I had to give blood and urine samples for life insurance policy purposes and had to fast from 700a-300p . I can't tell you the last time I went 8 hours without food (except while sleeping of course.) In short, it was hell. 

As soon as I provided the insurance companies with everything they needed, I raced to the kitchen. Here is what I ate...boy was I hungry...

300p-2 sandwiches on whole wheat sandwich rounds, Yucatan guacamole, boar's head turkey, romaine lettuce, hot sauce, cashews (about 2 servings worth) and leftover Sun-Chips (1 serving) from our daughters weekend birthday party. I can usually control myself and stay away from chips...but my sodium levels must have been off due to the fast because I was craving salty foods.

I was still hungry so I then headed back for the curry cashews about 300p.

700p-Vegetable- No Pasta Lasagna (Biggest Loser Simple Swaps Book)

1000p-Fage 0%, cranberries, sprinkled with Wheaties 

I still struggled with unusual cravings on Tuesday but think I'm back on track today. I didn't eat poorly...I just had larger servings of the foods I usually eat and never really felt satisfied.  It is amazing how skipping my morning snack and lunch impacted me not only on Monday but on Tuesday as well.  I'm thrilled to be back to my eating schedule of meals/snacks in smaller portions every 3-4 hours. 

Workout Tuesday 

Trainer John and I got a little workout in Tuesday morning...

6 sets of 5 reps of barbell shoulder press (105lbs-155lbs)

5 sets of shoulder shrug calf raise with dead lift bar for 25 reps each @ 135lbs

2 sets of burnout handstand push ups (8 and 10)

2 sets of 50 butterfly sit ups on Abmat

I'm really excited about our Thursday workouts...it's SQUAT day! I love Squats!
