I am very much someone who “eats my feelings”. When things aren’t going well…my will power for anything salty or chocolate is non existent, even when I know I’ll feel better of I make different choices.

Last year when my mom was sick, I definitely ate things that weren’t good choices and I paid for them as my body really doesn’t like those foods. I didn’t care, I needed to eat my feelings and try and deal with them. Thankfully it was short lived and I got back on track

I feel like we watched this last year too, but it was a good reminder about delaying caffeine and getting win on our eyes as soon as possible.

The info around the cold water “dunks” was very interesting…but I still don’t know if it’s for me 🤔

Salt and vinegar chips

Not surprised, but reaffirms what about food choices when I sleep better. When I don’t have a good night sleep, I definitely find it hardest to make choices that are more conducive to my goals. On nights that I don’t sleep well, higher sugar food are harder to say no to….which leads to me to being more and grumpy.

Eat more;

Nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds)
Berries
Lean protein

Eat less:

Crackers
Ice cream
Fried foods

I like making overnight oats too. I usually use oat milk in mine, with a 1/2 teaspoon on maple syrup and then frozen berries added before i leave for school. Similar to the above recipe, but with a few small changes.

I definitely do t get enough “good” fats as I’m not a fan of many of the sources , or they are “tricky” in my home and workplace.

I’m going to make an effort tomorrow when I grocery shop to find some to add to my cart.

Not enough – today, I tracked and I got around 90g – this isn’t a typical day, and I know that I need more.

The Greek yogurt, almonds and pumpkin seeds make it high in protein.

Last night, for desert – I had Greek yogurt with slivered almonds, pumpkin seeds and a few chocolate chips. So yummy and satisfied my sweet craving.
