Hey guys,
You’ll have to excuse my dinner choice and video post today - I’m exausted! My workout with MaryBeth was scheduled for 6 PM tonight, and of course, I got hung up at work. I finally got out with 30 min to make it downtown, change and warm-up. As I was walking over, my hunger really kicked in. I broke into my Product of the Week for a Pre Workout Snack:
My workout with MaryBeth was awesome - I really felt like we got some work done. I wanted to go do some extra cardio before I left, but the gym was totally packed and I just wanted to go home. Training Session with MaryBeth = 421 calories burned.
After getting back, I wanted to have a small snack and wait to have a full dinner when Peter got home. So I had a tbsp PB, tbsp jam on a whole wheat chollah roll:
But this PB&J only intensified my hunger. So I had an Amy’s burrito and a banana:
Told you it was random.
Usually when I eat really randomly like this, it can turn into a binge easily - but this was okay. I had a coconut bar a few hours later:
As I mentioned earlier, here’s this week’s product of the week: Coconut Creme Pie Larabar. (You’ll have to excuse me - I was so exausted when I made this video, so I’m totally out of it. :P)
Enjoy!
TJ’s in Union Square has them…just make sure you go at the magic time
You were pronouncing it right, their named after a woman named Lara.
I loved that flavor to, it was more deserty than other larabars, but you still NEED to try the PB cookie, it’s defintely the best!
Get ready for this:
Kate you are so cute in your little video blog.
Never expect another compliment as long as you live.
Kisses!
PS We saw Penn Bagley with Blake Lively. That’s important.
I simply love your videos! They are so cute. I feel the same way about luna bars vs lara bars.. except the one that changed my mind was the apple pie one! Mmmmmm. I still don’t think anything can beat the cookies and cream or chocolate raspberry luna bars for me, though!
mmm i love chollah bread! my roomie is jewish and buys chocolate chip chollah all the time. SO GOOD! whole wheat sounds healthier though
maybe there’s a whole wheat chocolate chip kind out there! looks to me like you did a great job with not binging & ate all the food groups and reg. portion sizes.
Hey, Kate! I wanted to mention that the skyr you bought at WF isn’t really yogurt — it’s this super-tart Icelandic “cultured dairy product” that’s pretty hard to find in the U.S. (hence the exorbitant price tag.) Personally I think it’s an acquired taste
Hey Kate!
Whats with the urge to keep eating after a random dinner?? I totally get you on this. If I make a dinner, eat it all at one time, usually ok. However, if I’m hungry, eat a little something…something more…all downhill from there! Just so you know, you aren’t alone in your struggles! I usually only overeat in THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT! I’m half asleep before I even realize whats happening. I can manage during the day, but a night, its a whole other story. Anyways, long post, sorry! I think if I stick to my eating “rules” I am much better off. However, I feel like this isn’t “normal eating.” But I guess a “normal eater” isn’t prone to bingeing… Anyhow, I’m really done now =) Have a great day!
Kate and Theresa,
When I was in my “non-normal eating” stage I was totally the girl that restricted in the daytime (but I was still eating 3 meals a day, just not calorically dense enough…think 1,200 calories!) but at night, if I was SO hungry that I just HAD to eat an extra snack, I would feel so shamed (weird, who was judging my eating…no one!) and then I would just snack and snack (ahem, binge) until my stomach HURT. As I’ve said before, once you’re eating enough calories/protein/fat/carbs in the daytime, the binging eventually stops! I eat the majority of my calories in the daytime and eat a smaller, later dinner so I’m not full but I’m definitely not hungry when I go to bed. It’s worked wonders!
I love WF salad bars!!!!!
LARABARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! **swoons**
“They like to mess with you mind” HAHA!!! Larabar is out to take over the world!!
Jaclyn - Good one!
Natalie - Will do!
Eva - doi. But thank you.
Nicole - LOVE cookies and cream luna - but I ADORE chocolate peppermint.
Andrea - THANKS! My old roommate, Eva (who’s Jewish) turned me on to chollah. Can you believe I never had it before a year or two ago?
Kim - Good to know! Maybe it really was $2.79…
Theresa and Meghan - It’s tough. I tend to want to stick to ‘eating rules’ too, because they’re easy. I know what I can’t and can do. But when try to be more flexible and blur the lines, binging happens. It’s true though - whenever I eat enough during the day, I don’t binge usually (unless it’s 100% emotional). I can tell you though - I’m pretty done with binging. It’s getting on my last nerve.
VG-
- Kate
Meghan,
Just wanted to say thanks for your reply, it makes perfect sense, and was very sweet. =)
I’m with you, Kate, I’m over it!!
Wow, all these great Larabar flavours! We have awful selection near me, but I have a few new ones to try. PB was really, really good and I had half a Banana Cookie today. Yum!!
