Reflection:
I ate a light breakfast that was nice and filling because I was getting in my bikini and I didn’t want to be bloated.
The Special K pretzel bar snack was amazing and definitely will be added to my grocery list.
My lunch was nothing special, it definitely could have been improved upon. I ate it before work and it left me hungry. If I had eaten something more filling then I wouldn’t have snacked at work.
I made terrible food choices at work, I was really hungry and already in the “poor me, I’m closing and I’ll be here until midnight mindset.” I need to avoid that delicious and free junk food at work.
For dinner, I actually whipped up something somewhat healthy for what I could find in my house at that hour. I choose pinto beans because they are a great source of protein, and I used them to make a burrito.
I should have drank one more cup of green tea, and I only drank half of the water that I was supposed to. I’m really mad at myself for that. I need to start waking up earlier so I can get more water drinking in.
As far as the workout log goes, it is in the works! The 31st is my workout starting date because it a day where I am not working!

Reflection:
Breakfast was light and healthy, adding and egg wouldn’t have hurt for the protein count.
Lunch was light as well because of the limited physical activity I performed today. It was the perfect amount of food.
I had to snack on the mini Kit Kat because I was extremely hungry at work, I regret the choice but I don’t know how else I would have made it through.
Dinner felt a little bit heavy for me due to the sauteed mushrooms. The salmon carried a lot of protein which was great, I’m going to start making that a habit. I ate a piece of fancy chocolate after dinner because they were sitting out. I’m not going to beat myself up over it though because I only ate one and I enjoyed it.
I should have drank one more cup of green tea because I am aiming for three cups a day. I should have also drank two more cups of water at least because I aim for eight and higher.
I didn’t exercise today because I am trying to get rehydrated and trying to clean up my diet for a few days before I go hard on the muscles.
When I start exercising again on the 31, I will be more involved with the protein count.
