Ok…
So I had heard that sardines are a decent fish to add to your diet and so I bought a couple of cans to try out this week. I just had 1 as my late morning snack.
I used to like sardines when I was little so I had been eager to get some anyways. They are not as cheap as i remember (currently about $1.50-2.25 a can) and i couldn’t remeber what was a decent but affordable brand.
So i bought two very different ones..Bumble Bee (hot sauce flavored) and Brunswick (standard soybean oil). the Bumble Bee , which is a little more expensive..was DISGUSTING. I mean gag to the max! it was nothing but compressed tails and maybe one flshy sardine. It was so disgusting i thought to myself..is htis how bad they alaways were? No..couldnt be… so i stopped eating and grabbed the other can..WOW what a difference. I dove into the sardines (4 whole fat sardines and enjoyed myself).
We all know that bumble bee also makes the worse canned tuna as well…we’ll I though you should know..in my opinion, they also make the worst sardines! 😉
Now I just need to find someplace that sells these suckers in bulk..hmm (I would get the olive oil or spring water over soybean oil as well)
NOTE: I just found out Brunswick sardines are distributed by Bumble Bee…hahah this makes no sense to me. But all I know is the can that said Bumble Bee with the bumble bee logo on it…was disgusting.
So I reluctantly worked out today. I had so much to do and so many errands to run that I just felt exhausted. i dont have a car. We walk here..so yes I kinda felt like I had my workout already!
But no..I motivated myself to go workout for at least a half hour. I did not do any lifting like I wanted to originally…but I did cardio again. I’m actually able to really envision myself hitting the weights tomorrow though..and think perhaps that works out nicely. Visualization is key and it’s been awhile since I ever felt motivated enough to actually see myself doing a a whole routine of exercises. I will just lift and strength train tomorrow and resume cardio the next day.
Another of Today’s highlights has been revisiting my diet..(as in what I am eating).
Breakfast: 1 poched egg, 1 slice of whole wheat tost adn 2 pieces of turkey bacon. (I had switched to turkey bacon awhile back but I still love me some pork bacon. Incidentaly the turkey bacon is actually more affordable anyways so…) about 320-350 calores
Snack: Banana
Lunch: Tuna sandwich with carrots
Dinner:(circa 6pm) Fresh Broccoli. stir fried steak tips. (super lean sirloin tips..also very affordable) with onions and peppers. Garbonzo Beans (chic peas)
Snack 8pm Low cal, snack size popcorn – 100 calorie version
Late Snack: An apple with a little bit of almond milk
I actually tend to stay up late..a habit I have had since my smoking ciggarette days. This will have to change..and that late snack will have to go. BUT until then. I cannot go to sleep hungry and from what I have read it is worse to do so…(your body will store more fat).
I went shopping today..I was only able to get some essentials but good for a few days. Got some nice fresh Fruits/Veggies from the market and picked up some chicken breast and even some sardines and plenty of low sodium beans/legumes. I buy GOYA brand myself. Just simple and good.
I hope that I can integrate a 6 “smaller meals” a day plan. I have never done so..and I think it will help kick start my metabolism. But I struggle with it. So we will see. Today, was the closest i have been to doing so. usually i just do 3 big meals a day..sometimes just two..so..yeah.
Anyways..looking forward to some shut eye after I ‘decompress’ .I should be able to go to bed before midnight..as I feel tired. But that’s pretty rare for me usually..we’ll see.
