You need some serious help with your nutritional intake. Why did you not eat until 3:30? Hopefully you work the night shift and you sleep during the day! If not, you are killing your body and your metabolism by waiting so long to get food in your system.
Secondly, you can't just eat whole wheat stuff and think you are eating healthy. You have to add loads of natural, unprocessed foods. Eat things like lean meats, eggs, brown rice, whole wheats, tons of fruits and veggies.
You should also be eating upon waking, since your body is literally starving from the fasted state you just experienced while you were sleeping. You then need to eat every 3 hours or so.
What are you goals?
Not eating until 3:30 - Have you ever heard of night eating syndrome? Authorities on the subject are and have conducted studies and are trying to develop criteria to put it into the DSMV (book of psychological stuff that is used to diagnoise people). Anyway, morning anorexia, insomnia, and consuming over half of your calories after hours are three of the symptoms. So, there you have it. I'm really trying to turn it around. It causes weight problems for alot of people.
My goal: long term to lose 100 pds. atleast. Other than that, I don't have it all figured out. I don't have meals planned out. I was raised meat and potatoes, so I've got to do some research on what I should eat and make a plan. However I've been going to the gym for 3 weeks or so now. I only go a couple days a week, and I know to do cardio 5 and full body 3. So, I need to get my sh!t together.
This site and you people have really been a support for me. For that, Thank You.
What I ate today:
10:00 - two scoops of ice cream with carmel, choc. chips
(I know. My daughters graduation ice cream social)
2:00 - 2 slices whole grain white bread, mayo, turkey breast, spinach, 1 slice provolone
4:30 - 2 slices pan roast lean white meat turkey. mashed potatoes, gravy. carrots (canned).
- and, probably something else before bed
