Yesterday, I made a massive taco salad for lunch, which maxed out my allowable calories for the day, so I skipped dinner. I wasn't really hungry, given how substantial that dish ended up being; it was more mental than anything, I'd say.
Lunch today was also pretty high calorie, though not nearly as bad as yesterday. We had errands to run, and picked up takeout for dinner - I ordered another Green Goddess salad from Panera. As I'd had one earlier this week, I had a feeling that eating it would be a mistake, so I came home and did the math.
My instinct was right - it would have been more than double what I needed. I could have ordered a half portion, but that would have still would have put me over by a bit more than I'm comfortable with.
I have enough quick and on-plan options on hand, so putting something together that fit into my macros was pretty easy and not too much stress.

Solid workout last night (weights + cardio) and a great long yoga session this morning, followed by cardio. More weights + cardio tonight; late again, but not as late as I've been a few other nights this week.
Progress is slow, but I'm ok with that, so long as it keeps coming. I can feel quite a difference between now and two weeks ago. I've gotten a lot of flexibility and cardiovascular health back, some muscle endurance, and some strength. I've been sleeping better, and I have a lot more energy throughout the day.
Time is the key to almost everything. As long as I keep that in mind, I'll be more than fine.
