Hummus Fail

Hey guys!  Today was a veggie day.... my body was fighting it too.  Not sure why.  I had same pre-pt breakfast as always: banana, toast and PB.  2nd Breakfast was typical as well - overnight oats cereal.  Lunch was even pretty typical: stir fry, quinoa, and veggie chick n' nuggets.  Then my body went crazy.  I had an apple for a snack at 2pm, and 30 min later carrots and celery.  And then broccoli, and cabbage and I was still HUNGRY so I gave in and had another piece of toast w/ PB because I knew it would keep me full.  So, add in dinner and I have eaten too many calories today.  I REALLY hope that the nutritionist can help me figure this out.  One thing I realized when talking to mom today was that perhaps I am so hungry as a side effect of my pain meds that I take every morning for my hip.  I am going to ask about that.  I wish I was healthy then I could just run a few miles and even things out and not have to worry about how much I was eating....well at least I wouldn't have to be so darn strict (which isn't working because my body is fighting it.)

I went to the Commissary today to see about party platters for a Sergeant Audie Murphy Club event that is coming up, and while I was there I grabbed some bananas.  I also saw a new hummus - well I have seen it before but never looked at it because Sabra Hummus is so very good.  But I checked out this new hummus and it had 20 calories less per serving so I decided to try it.  Here is a pic:

It was a bust.  I am highly disappointed.  It is not nearly as good as Sabra and it was WAY too salty.  I'm actually wondering what to do with this Hummus because I would feel bad throwing away a almost full container but I don't want to eat it!  This is when having a man around the house would come in handy, right?  Also I could use a guy to squash bugs for me - I hate bugs.  And Trash - I don't like trash.  I digress.

Yoga tonight was good, but I am not sure if I am getting a good workout - and its not relaxing enough to justify it by saying "at least I am reducing my stress."  I probably am getting a good workout but I didn't sweat so that kinda makes me wonder.  In Sunday Yoga class I am sweating within 10 min of class starting - I get such a good workout that I am usually sore all day Monday.  Not quite the same with this Tue/Thur class.  I guess I should be grateful though because I was having pain in my leg this morning so its not like I really needed to workout hard anyways.  It is just so hard for me to rest and no be able to exercise because my mind is still the same as when I was running 8 miles every Saturday - when I could do more Push ups than the guys... I wish I could get my mind to adjust to my body or my body adjust to my mind!

Well that is all I have for today.  Tomorrow I see the nutritionist and I get to have my testing for the CAM program!  I hope it is not a let down.  Keep your fingers crossed for me.  Think good thoughts.  Have a great night and I will see you tomorrow.
