Back to scratch...

Ok, back to 150, those extra 4-ish pounds have come off and I'm back on track with my eating. I have determined after being back on third shift again that there are certain things I can and cannot do.  I cannot fast during work, for sure, but I also know that I am going to have to eat at the end of my shift, otherwise I cannot sleep!  So instead of daily fasts (16/8 or close to it), I am going to eat normally most days, having breakfast after my shift, and doing 1-2 long fasts a week, and one shorter fast (16-18 hrs) a week. This will vary based on my workouts/classes, but I have a schedule made up that is a little more realistic for my current schedule.  Next step is meal-planning to make sure I'm eating enough but not too much.  This is a little more in-depth than I've gone before, but I realize I do better with more structure.  I can't follow a strict mealplan created by someone else, but I've never tried creating my own.  Typically, I eat the same stuff over and over anyways. As much as I like to have things organized, I'm surprised I haven't done this before now!

So here's what I've eaten since my last post:

Monday (morning thru early Tues morning)
-100% whole grain English muffin w/all-natural PB +honey & cinnamon with protein powder/milk
-Fajita bowl (lettuce/chicken/avacado/jalapenos/salsa)
-Mixed nuts with dark chocolate pieces
-Vanilla Greek yogurt (Oiks) w/mixed berries & sliced almonds
-Kind bar (dark chocolate cherry...yum!)

Tuesday (7am thru to early Wed morning):
-Two hard boiled eggs + two pieces toast/butter & milk
-Oatmeal w/milk, berries, banana, walnuts + milk
- Kind bar
- Pizza (Papa Johns... I know)/cinnamon sticks
- Ritz crackers

Wednesday (morning after work, thru evening before work)
- Waffles w/milk
- Pita chips w/hummus
- BBQ pork sandwich

Fasted 6pm Wed thru 2pm Thur

Thursday
- Panera half salad (Blue cheese chopped...yum!) w/baguette
- Clif bar pre-workout

- Girls night: brownies, rice krispie treats & wine :/


Not the best, not the worst, but I feel much more in control than the last week or so. :) 

Happy Friday!
