My husband and I had tickets to see A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Globe theatre last night at 7pm. It was a lovely play, very well done by the actors, with a few modern touches that heightened the comedy without changing the feel of the play. But it meant I had to have dinner before I left for the play but after my 4:00pm meeting, so around 5:30pm. This in turn pushed everything back, plus I decided the best way to make sure I got a run in was to do it in the morning after breakfast then have an early lunch.
So keeping to my usual eating every 3 hours schedule was not really an option. I try to do this in order to keep my blood sugar levels stable, in an effort to prevent myself from getting too hungry (and tired and moody) then overeating and/or snacking. Not to mention that I make the worst food choices when I am starving! I usually try to eat breakfast about 7:30am, with a mid-morning snack at 10:30am, followed by lunch about 1pm. This gives me enough time to digest before doing a workout or run in the afternoon, and means my recovery shake or bar becomes my afternoon snack about 4pm. In an ideal world we would then have dinner at 7pm but it’s rare for my husband and I to both be home before 7pm, so it’s usually closer to 8pm before get dinner. With dinner so late in the evening, the good news is that I am less likely to snack before bedtime. The bad news is that I often arrive home around 6pm tired and hungry with more than hour before dinner. This is when I am most likely to hit the junk food, and once I start on the chocolates or Doritos, I find it really hard to stop!
Far better to stick to my routine so I am not tempted to start on the junk foods!
