Weight Loss Challenge - Week 5, Day 4 - Missed Morning Snack And It Threw Me Off

Unless I missed something, I definitely didn’t enough yesterday. And though you can’t see it just from the chart down below, I ate my breakfast…and then didn’t eat anything until lunchtime. I got too focused on work and forgot to eat! I had some salmon for lunch, but I was so hungry, I couldn’t be bothered to add in some veggies. By late afternoon, I was grabbing things like a Nature Valley Almond Crunch Bar, which isn’t the healthiest of snacks. Don’t know if getting thrown off like that had anything to do with me ending up having 2 glasses of wine before supper! Did the first glass of wine on a somewhat empty stomach go to my head, making me say, “Heck, yeah, let’s have another glass”? Something to watch out for…

All in all, not an overly good day, nutrition-wise.

Hmmm… I also didn’t do my cardio workout this morning. My legs were feeling tired, and I really want to go biking Saturday morning. I figured I’d take my rest day today. Wonder if that threw me off as well?

Here’s what I ate, in all its glory:

Note: This is just for example purposes. I am not a nutritionist! And it’s probably a good example of what NOT to eat!
