A huge shock!!! Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I really look forward to it and if I could eat breakfast 3 times a day intead of other meals I would be blissfully happy! Currently I'm having 1/2 plain oats and 1/2 norganic (which is basically oats sweetened by apple) with skinny milk. Now these both state that a 30g serve is about 460kjs. Imagine my shock when I decided to weigh my serve this morning to see what I actually consume and my small bowl took 200g of the stuff!!!! In other words I am consuming about 4000kjs for breakfast (including milk) and I thought I was doing alright! No wonder I cant seem to lose any weight recently!! I am having more than half of my intake in just breakfast! 200g does sound a lot but it certainly doesnt look like much (just the same as a small tub of yoghurt). HOw can people eat the recommended serving size of just 30g? That's basically a couple of tablespoons, I would be starving!! The good news is that it does keep me full for a long time afterwards because even though I should be having smaller more regular meals the morning is usually pretty busy for me so I dont have time to eat. To think I stopped eating oats with protein powder & protein crunch because I thought it was too high in calories! Oh well, now I know. I will stop eating it for now because I dont think I could handle reducing to such a small quantity. I will instead have a protein shake with water and maybe an egg white pancake. That should keep me for a while.
Anyway, I went for a run today for 40 mins and yesterday I did a pump class and 20mins high intensity intervals on treadmill. On Wednesday I ran to shops (2omins) walked around for about 40 mins and then ran home again (25mins). Tuesday was a step class and 30mins of abs/butt work. So next week I will resume my normal weights and keep doing the cardio as normal. I can still do the same fitnesswize but my heart rate is higher than what it used to be before I got sick. I guess thats good coz I burn more calories! Nothing planned for the weekend, maybe I'll do some more reading on this HTML stuff I'm trying to learn. I'm trying to build my own website (I'm not very good). Gotta run now - I'm at work!
