Another discovery yesterday, not that it's really a major revelation: Sticking to my schedule is a good idea, eating late is a bad one. Don't worry, I still managed to stick to the program, but it was definitely more difficult. I slept badly the night before and woke up late, cranky, and tired. As a result, my motivation was low and every meal I ate yesterday was late. I was hungrier, the call of unhealthy, high-carb food was higher, and I was in a generally bad mood all day, and I think it was because I wasn't eating when my body has come to expect me to. Additionally, dinner was especially late because Chad's plans were up in the air and I didn't know if I was cooking for just myself or both of us.
It seems odd to think of dinner as being "especially late" when it was only about 7 when I finally ate. For my normal eating habits, that's actually fairly early for dinnertime, but all week I've been wanting and eating dinner by 6 or even a quarter 'til. When you add that hour or more extra to the fact that I didn't eat a snack yesterday, I was starving by the time I ate. Bad idea! So of course, since today is Saturday I slept in and ate really late again. Smart, Erin. Very smart.
Anyway, on to yesterday's intake!
