Last week went as usual: ate well most of the time, had my 4 scheduled runs.
The Friday run in the forest was beautiful: there was thick fog, water dripping from trees.
Colorful leaves shone trough the grey fog when I got close enough.
Weather is very mild these weeks: around 5 oC (40 oF) - so I wear one long sleeve running shirt, and a thin jacket on top, which I take off after the first mile.
Last Sunday I didn't feel like tracking my food.
I felt a serious resistance so I just let it go. I stop tracking for some time.
Something must be done about mindless eating in the evening.
That's one bad habit I still have some trouble with.
There are too many choices or what...
It is not about binges that come with bad mood.
It is perfectly normal evenings when I eat my healthy dinner. Then a bit later some chocolate. Then a teaspoon of peanut butter. Then a slice of ham. Nothing serious, but I'm sure it will lead to weight gain if I keep doing it.
So finally I made a menu chart: the 10 meals I usually chose from at dinner.
Checked calories: each is between 400 and 480 calories.
Dessert may be 20 grams of chocolate, peanut butter, peanuts or walnuts (each about 120 calories) or a piece fruit (60-120 calories).
My plan is to choose one meal for dinner, and later I can have one dessert or a piece of fruit.
The rest of the day is always OK, and this dinner plan is flexible, pleasant and generous.
So I hope it is going to work : )
