Wine dinner
Went to a wine dinner last night – great wine and food, but had a bit too much wine (had an open bottle at home that I finished when we got home) and ate some pizza before practically passing out. Work up feeling blah and fat, ugh. Not hung-over, but blah. Oh well, jumped on the elliptical for 10 minutes (1.5 miles – yay) and then did 20 minute yoga – Power Vinyasa Flow #1. I was all toasty from the elliptical work, so that was great.
Scale said 139.0 this morning, which is bad since I was likely dehydrated from the wine. I have been drinking lots of water and fluids all day. Had some frozen baked oatmeal – love that stuff (pumped up with banana, pecans, milk and protein powder). Was still hungry after the big bowl of oatmeal (of course – I have been so hungry lately) so I had 1 small protein pancake with a little almond and apple butter, mmm.
Listened to a really great fitcast yesterday – Leigh Peele had some really good information about how our bodies react after dieting down – which can lead to binge eating (which I had 3 bouts of last week. I know I didn’t really write about it here, I wanted to, but wasn’t quite ready, so I guess this is what I will say about it). The binge question starts right around the 45 minute mark – I saved this podcast and will be listening to it again I know.
All this poor eating and excessive drinking is taking a toll on my skin – I have a couple breakouts on my chin right now! Maybe I can squeeze in a facial tonight.
Just took the dog for short walk – its 20 degrees out but sunny. She loved now. Now having one of my favorite snacks: plain Greek yogurt mixed with black berries, walnuts, cinnamon and chia seeds. Sweetened the yogurt with some apple butter. I had been sweetening it with some raspberry preserves my aunt gave me – yesterday I went to mix them in and realized they preserves were moldy! I had already begun mixing with the yogurt, so that carton was trashed, fortunately had some protein pancakes to eat instead. Now I wonder how long the raspberries had been bad – I have been feeling icky in the afternoons after I had my yogurt snack many times in the past few weeks, ugh.
