This week has been ok so far. I went to the gym yesterday and felt like I was going to puke for the rest of the afternoon - plus I was extremly sore :-)
My diet has been a bit weird. I have stuck to my calories but have developed what I think is an unhealthy addiction....
It's not chocolate; or chips; or soft drink; or fast food. It's Cuppa Soup.
If you don't know what cuppa soup is it is basically flavouring with a little bit of noodles or croutons; that when added to hot water in a mug makes 'soup' or a broth. It is low in calories (yay) and a great snack on a cold day. And boy has it been cold in Sydney lately.
How ever this change in weather which has me consuming cuppa soup is really no excuse for me to consume it by the bucket load.
Yesterday I think I had three cups; now while this is not the end of the world (and hardly any calories) cuppa soup is what I like to call ' empty calories' - a.k.a it has no real nutrional content.
So instead of having and apple or carrot (something with vitamins and minerals and all those goodies we all need for weight loss and a healthy diet) I have been having cuppa soup.
"It's cold" I have been telling myself (and it is!!) but I need to cut down on the amount of empty calories I'm consuming and that means nipping this addiction in the butt!
So from today - NO MORE than 1 cupa soup a day (Hey it's still cold and it does warm me up!) and instead I'm going to try and fill those calories with things like friut, carrot sticks or even a low calorie garden salad.
What about you? Do you have a 'unhealthy addiction'? It might even be a health food that you eat too much of; or something like my addiction- low in calories but is really just 'empty calories' and no real nutrional content.
Till next time everybody! Thanks for reading!
