I have been STARVING today! Just trying to get through the day without eating 3,000 calories. I’m ovulating (TMI?) That’s when my appetite goes crazy. In a few days it should settle back down. It doesn’t help that today is my recipe writing day, the day I look at thousands of delicious well-styled food pictures for inspiration.

1 oz nuts while cooking the family dinner

My dinner was more of the layered bean dip. I was down to 1 oz chicken left, so I added a little hummus and 1/2 and ounce of crushed chips. It was a nice change of pace without going crazy on the calories.

This is what the family had: Frozen stir fry  blend with ground turkey and ramen noodles. I probably could have eaten this, but wasn’t sure how to calculate the calories. The family said it was fabulous. I didn’t even taste it–just added a dash of sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and the ramen noodle seasoning packets. I usually throw them away since I’m sensitive to MSG, but the family isn’t. It’s probably what made it so tasty, lol.

It’s only 6 pm and I have a lot of food writing to do.  I’m bound to get hungry even though I feel okay right now.  I don’t have any calories left for the day.  My plan is hot tea with stevia and baby carrots.  I DO believe in zero calorie foods.  Maye it’s like believing in the tooth fairy, but I’m pretty sure i didn’t get in this condition from eating too many carrots, lol.

I’m making progress on my goal to 20 burpees in a row.  I had Darren watch me do them to see if he could give me some pointers.  If you know Darren, you know he LOVES to give pointers.  I think this made his day.

It turns out that I was wasting a lot of energy popping my rear up in the air before throwing my legs bag.  He showed me how to more slide hop my legs back instead and I can do several more before dropping dead. Yay!  I may actually learn to like burpees after all….maybe.
