Like I said, I work in Hollywood on a TV show. We haven't been shooting the past couple of weeks but we are this week. The confession I need to make is that these shoot weeks are the ones where I lose all respect for myself when it comes to eating. It's really terrible. Our craft service table lays out tons of packaged items, cooked foods (replenished ALL day), and tupperware bowls of trail mix, M&M's, all kinds of candy, nuts, etc. The tupperware containers are usually my weakness. I get a styrophone cup and fill it with a mixture of candy and nuts and trail mixes. I always think I'll just snack on this for a while but I choose a boring time of the day and sit there and eat it usually really quickly because it's so damn good! Then after I do that I say well I've already eaten terribly I mine as well not worry about what I'm eating and continue to eat bad things for the rest of the day. Sooooooo this time I'm going to use my blog to cope with the stresses of having stress, very little sleep, and lots of food.
I have purchased lots of snacks. This is my plan:
7am - Egg white omelet w/veggies and chicken - about 300 calories
9am - Yogurt - 130 calories
11am - Balance bar - 100 calories
1:30pm - Lunch - 400-500 calories
3:30pm - Homemade trail mix from Hungry Girl (see below for recipe) - 130 calories
5:30pm - Fruit - 100 calories
7:30pm - A frozen burrito if I'm eating dinner at work - 300 calories
I also go some hard candies to suck on through out the day. I feel like my mouth needs to keep busy for some reason. I'll also bring extra snacks just incase I get the overeating feeling. I'll STILL stay away from the dreaded table and just eat my snacks at my desk.
I think if I eat every 2 hours and plan out what I'm eating these three days will go much smoother without a binge. Keep in mind I've only made it ONE day with out binging. We've shot 25 days in the past 5 months. Last cycle was the one day I was able to not binge and I still ate about 1900 calories. My average calories for the week is a lot less because I'm working out two days less. My plan is to do a Billy Blanks boot camp DVD at home on Tuesday inorder to get some more exercise in. The good thing about my job is I'll spend a lot of time walking around and standing around as opposed to sitting in a desk for the entire day. My calorie intake should be 1700-1800 total each day.
