day 2: the strug

I’m struggling getting back on track.

I was good all day until about 5 pm I found myself, despite only being on day two, already ready to cheat and proceeded to feel super pathetic about it before receiving a phone call from a friend to distract me from my nagging hunger. The weird thing is, like yesterday, it’s not as if I had something in mind I would rather be eating (ahem, pasta) but rather just overwhelmingly resentful of having to be on a diet at all.

Eventually I pulled myself together and ate some plantain chips before making meatballs and a red sauce for dinner, Whole 30 of course.

So we live to fail another day.

Today’s food:

Breakfast: chai tea with almond milk, apple with almond butter

Lunch: Cauliflower fried rice with chicken and an orange

Snack: my forever snack dried pineapple and plantain chips

Dinner: Turkey meatballs, tomato sauce, 1/2 grapefruit

For a grand total of 1235 calories.

day 1

So far so good.

Like last time, the trick is not to wait until the last minute to eat and to expect to be peckish which so far (so far being only one day) I have been pretty good about it.

I know I can do this because I did it before, I repeat to myself over and over again like an unhinged psychopath.

I ate:

Breakfast: Chai tea with almond milk (not starbucks, brewed at home), sliced apple and almond butter.

Lunch: grilled chicken on a salad and an orange

Snack (mid-afternoon): dried pineapple

Dinner: Cauliflower fried rice, pineapple for desert

For a grand total of 1,066 calories.

As usual, yet another sedentary day. I’ll work out when the weather decides not to assault me everyday.
