Meal 1 was just over 1400 calories. Meal 2 right at 1100. Higher than I would prefer, but still well within my allowances for the week.
Meals included lots of lean protein, some fresh veggies and fruit, and some decent complex carbs with a bit of fiber. Overall sugar content was too high for my tastes, though still not out of control.Thankfulky it was all whole foods based with minimal processing, which is a big win.
Not allowing myself to go off the rails with bad choices challenged my mental resolve considerably, but I stayed true to my commitment to health, and I'm proud of that. I can live with my choices without regret, save that in hindsight I wish I'd had smaller portions in meal 1.
My eating times were disrupted, as both meals were much earlier in the day than is the norm for me. So tonight after strength training there was no post-workout meal. I know that is less than ideal - especially when considering that my workout started almost 6 hours after my last meal had been consumed. But there was zero chances of me taking in more calories today... That simply wasn't gonna happen under any circumstances.
It wasn't easy, but I got my gallon of water in, remembered to take my vitamins, and still managed to get 20k steps in to boot. All while managing some quality time with loved ones and two cat naps.
Overall, a banger of a day. Still, it will be nice getting back to the normal routine tomorrow.
