chesgreen's Journal, 10 Jan 18

Lately, my actions have been inconsistent with my words so I will lay low with journal entries while I get them aligned. I've been struggling with the education matters of a special needs child for 4 weeks now and it is chipping away at my rough exterior. I have huge swings on the scale and it is a little frustrating. (206 - 216, 205 - 212.) Stress is probably behind it.

Log everything, you bite, you write. I've done that and kind of got sick of logging, logging, logging. I do realize the importance of it and personally, I think I have to become routine with what I eat from 7 AM - 6:30 PM M - F. They way I believe I can accomplish this routine is by cooking a bunch of what ever protein to be eaten during the work week on Sundays and storing them in individual containers to be combined with with spring mix salad and bring them into the office each day. In one of my office drawers, I have a bottle of extra virgin olive oil. In the evening I will introduce a little variety with a different protein from what I consumed earlier in the day and maybe hot veggies with some blue cheese dressing.

Sounds like a plan? Well, if this doesn't work, as soon I pull up in my driveway in the evenings, I will go into the dark woods guided by the flashlight on my phone, seek out, pick up and place some strange animal poop into the container I brought to work that day. Then when I finally sit and eat my dinner, If I dare go for the cookies or chips afterwards, I will be forced open up that container and smear that excrement onto the snacks. Ewwwww grossss!!!

That will discourage me for sure if I don't get my act together. I am good most of the day and then when I get in, Mr Hyde comes out.

That is my plan. (Wednesday's chicken thighs and salad is in my office fridge and I have 4 more thighs left at home, 2 for Thursday and 2 for Friday)

Onwards.

Thanks, Thanks, Thanks. Getting many other direct messages and txts and feeling the love. I need to be brave, healthy and strong for for my little man who can't defend himself. Thanks, thanks, thanks. I am very grateful for your understanding and support. I worked out some stress yesterday evening doing treadmill / weight intervals for 45 minutes (5 minutes of jogging or walking, hit stop on the treadmill and then 5 minutes of weight lifting). I can do this!

It sounds like you got a plan, if your getting bored of the same ol food take a look at different ways to prepare the proteins. I bought a JOULE from CHEFSTEPS, this makes meal prep a lot easier and tasty as the majority of what I cook with it is Meats in Fats. I can cook 6 marinated chicken breasts and eat off those with some green sides for the week. Also it makes eating great again, mainly because I don't have to put a lot of effort into cooking. Cheers!

I got an electric pressure cooker a couple of months back and love it. Meals can be done so quickly, it’s easy to cook after work. I recommend getting one if your schedule is busy. It has decreased the amount we order out, which makes my food so much healthier!
