No Junk food today! Only snack throughout the day was a granola bar before I headed to yoga.

TBH I'm kinda surprised at my own fortitude, since I forgot to eat breakfast :( I'm trying to increase matobolism = MUST NOT SKIP MEALS.

I messed up the day before with pizza for dinner. Instead of having a healthy side, I just ate... more pizza.

As for today, I didn't have any junk food, but I had a LOT of mimosas, which means a lot of orange juice. Gave me a headache and ultimately wasn't very healthy.

Yesterday I skipped lunch, getting dinner prepared for night company before heading out to a party in the afternoon. This means that when I got to the party and saw chips and queso... well, let's just say that cheese didn't stand a chance. :(

Today will be much better though. I got back to meal planning, and I already have my meals planned for the next few days, so I am looking forward to not getting off the wagon.

My snacks today are:

• a granola/protein bar
• homemade fruit sorbet
• a clementine if I'm still hungry after my protein packed meals

Well, I had pho for dinner and a friend offered me one of her small eggrolls. I ate it, but in retrospect, I think this would definitely fall under the fried food category, so I should not be eating them unless I decide to make a baked version.

Since I've been spending so much on Protein Bistro Boxes from Starbucks, I decided to try my hand at making my own for lunch.

Today, my box included:

• 1 egg, hard-boiled
• 1/2 apple, sliced
• 1 lowfat string cheese
• 1/2 slice whole wheat bread
• 2 TBSP Raw, almond butter
• 1/4 blueberries

Well, no snack food!

I did miss dinner though. Got in a tiff and lost my appetite. I managed to force myself to eat a granola bar, so at least there was some protein. But again... MUST NOT SKIP MEALS.

Still fine tuning.

Today, my box included:

• 1 egg, hard-boiled
• 1/2 apple, sliced (other half to be consumed as a snack)
• 1 low-fat string cheese
• 1/2 slice whole wheat bread
• 1 TBSP roasted almond butter, from whole foods
• 1 cup cherries

A few LESS calories than the last one (15 calories to be precise), plus MORE fruit!!

Still more calories than the starbucks version... but only 19 calories more and still very healthy. I think I will do some research into low-calorie whole grain bread options.

My approved snacks for today: 1 clementine, and, if still hungry, some frozen fruit converted into sorbet.
