I've heard over and over that if you don't eat enough food then your metabolism shuts down. And today that was definitely the case! I don't know how much my metabolism shut down (I'm guessing it was the equivalent of my dog running smack into a glass window that she didn't know was there) but my energy level was non-existent. I teach a Boot Camp class on Monday nights and halfway through the class I felt the color drain out of my face, and I think I saw the big dipper.
Here is the minimal list of what I ate today (and a reminder to myself to EAT MORE tomorrow!)
7:00am
Breakfast shake - 1/2 banana, 1 Tbsp. ground flaxseed, 1 Tbsp. brown rice protein powder, 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries, and about 1 1/2 cups rice milk
10:15am
1/2 large apple and small handful (about 8) raw, unsalted walnuts
12:30pm
3oz. chicken breast, 1 1/2 cups frozen peas, and 1/3 cup garbonzo beans (don't ask about the crazy combination, I was in a rush for lunch)
4:00pm
20 baby carrots and 1/2 cup tuna mixed with 1 Tbsp. spicy mustard
8:45pm
1 1/2 cups homemade french onion soup (thanks to my wonderful hubby) with 1 Tbsp. grated parm. cheese and 1 1/2 slices brown rice bread
Note to self, if you're going to plan a class that will kick your butt, EAT ENOUGH FOOD TO GET YOU THROUGH IT!!
