Well, today I was again SO hungry. Oh my, I do not remember this when feeding my girls! I was out and about, and did not plan well. Anyone else seeing a theme here? 😜
The food:
Breakfast was amazing-provided by my husband-and filling, but didn’t last me as long as I’d hoped: eggs, avocado, tomato and sautéed plantains with butter. Decaf espresso with almond milk. Lunch was provided by my company in a pseudo-shower lunch: Panera soup (wild rice) and salad (Thai). Of course, I had to have a little of the cake since I was one of the two guests of honor, but I kept it to a sliver of three bites. Dinner was a lovely, summery, colorful mix: smoked BBQ chicken, avocado, mango, roasted carrots, broccoli, cheddar. But was still hungry a little over an hour later!! Drinks: 90oz water, mothers milk tea, brown ale with dinner
Snacks: almonds with a piece of chocolate, kind bar and decaf coconut milk latte, shakeology “candy” (an amazing combination of shakeology and coconut oil that you freeze…seriously delicious)
The thoughts:
Horrible day, eating wise. And as I type this, it’s no wonder I was still hungry-it was a horribly low fat and high sugar day! Im aiming to build fixes for my snacks, because that’s definitely where it’s hurting me-breastfeeding has made me so hungry, so I reach for quick snacks and don’t have high fat ones available! Kicking my sweet tooth post partum has been much harder than it was prior. It always amazes me how easy it is to let sugar creep back into my diet. Eek.
Today is another day! Keeping the shakeology candy and the 85% dark chocolate on hand as well as making some grain free lactation cookies today: setting up for success!
