The dietbet that I talked about last week started on Monday. Which means that I'm only 4 days in. And on this 4th day I think I might start getting a little hangry.
{hangry: anger fueled by hunger; a cranky state resulting from a lack of food, especially sweet things}
Surprisingly, this is the first day that I've felt like this. We {Ryan & I, because he decided to do it also} have been eating healthy all week & I haven't even snuck in any "bad" stuff. Which has been fine, I've been sticking to my calories every day & haven't felt like I need more food & haven't hungry at the end of the day. Today however, today I am starving. I ate the same thing breakfast that I've eaten every other day this week and about half an hour later my stomach was craving food. Like I want to stick my face in a jar of peanut butter. mmm....peanut butter. I think I might have a slight obsession with peanut butter. It is just so damn good, like licking the measuring spoon & knife completely clean good. But instead of stuffing my face, I'm going to be a good girl & sit here drinking my water & forcing myself to wait until a reasonable time to scarf down eat my lunch. {which will probably be right after I'm done writing this post.}
On top of being starving today, I am also sore as hell. Started to 30 day shred again with Jillian the other night, somehow I forgot just how much I hate it until the first set of jumping jacks I had to do. The first night I quit at the 3rd set & last night I did all of it. Today, it hurts to move. I cringe even thinking about having to pee or walk or move my legs in general. My arms and shoulders aren't much better. And some how I have to figure out how to get through that agonizing 20 minutes again tonight. Ugh, I hate working out.
A couple of things that I have learned so far this week.
-Ground turkey is actually really good. I'm not a turkey fan. Don't really like it at all, at Thanksgiving that is usually the smallest amount of food on my plate. But I have been using it instead of ground beef this week & I'm kinda digging it. Even if it is kinda high in calories...at least I think it is.
-Drinking 4 bottles of water within a 6 hour time period will make you pee every 30 minutes.
-Quinoa is absolutely disgusting. I had really high hopes for this since every raves about it & it is everywhere, especially when it comes to healthy recipes. Maybe I didn't do it right, I don't know but I made it the other night to have as a side dish with our kabobs, I took one bite & threw the rest of it away. Anyone tried it & liked it? What do I need to do with it to make it taste good? I have a shit ton of it because a bunch of recipes I wanted to try called for it but I don't want to make them if it is going to taste like shit.
A couple of things about quinoa. 1. it says to rinse it before cooking. Ok, no problem right? Wrong, I put the quinoa in a measuring cup, started to put water in it to mix it up & rinse it but it gets all mushy like. WTH? How am I suppose to rinse it if I can't get any of the water back out because it is all sticking together? 2. if it boils over while cooking it makes a huge ass mess, huge! 3. it has a ton of calories...like it's not even worth how many calories it is for the amount you get per serving!
-As much as I want to like vegetables, I just really don't. I was so excited about the kabobs we grilled the other night, took a bite of some of the veggies & was completely disappointed. I still ate them & I ate them again the next day for lunch, which they tasted a little better that time, but I can't just sit & eat veggies & enjoy it.
Tomorrow is fish fry Friday & I have a feeling that Ryan is going to want to go get some. Which means fried everything....I'm kind of looking forward to it & dreading it at the same time. It is going to taste soooo good but then I'm going to have to find the willpower to go back to eating non-fried foods again.
