When I look at what I ate today, I’m like wow this sucks. Everything that I want low is high and everything I want higher is low. Just not good overall. BUT I need to look at this and learn. The good thing is that I didn’t do horrible and I ate good things but I just need to make some changes and improve. I am glad that I made good choices while eating out today (twice!). You have no idea how bad I wanted to get a Gyro instead of a salad during lunch. I have planned out my workouts for the rest of the week and I think if I can pre-plan what I will be eating the day before as much as possible, that will help. I need to think high protein, low calories, low carb with my food choices.
