Whatcha eating today VSGers...Thursday!!
Yes Lord I made it and yes LORD I woke up and did 3.42 miles at 5am!! Today is just in the ****ter but I'm digging my way out. It started with wanting SOMETHING to eat. Probably just because I'm TIRED so I scarfed down peanut butter (this time I measured and logged every gram ) for that I am definitely giving myself a pat on the back. I had a lunch date planned BUT alas he's not feeling well and NOPE I have NO food planned...smh...life!!

I'm very hungry this week, too, and today was a transitional shift day so I've been up for so long - leads to an extra 2 small meals.
1 - salmon and cottage cheese
2 - protein bar
3 - protein bar (this was NOT planned. I took my kids out to lunch and ordered poorly. Instead of eating off plan I just grabbed a bar out of my car when we got back on the road. I thought I was ordering a gyro sandwich (to eat the guts and leave the pita but it's cheaper than ordering the combo plate which is WAY to much food for me. Instead, I apparently ordered the falafel sandwich. Not able to work that into my plan - not enough protein and deep fried falafel. So I called the loss.)
4 - roast chicken w/ Jamaican curry, mustard greens, sweet potato
5 - hummus, pork rinds, beef jerky
W - good
V - good
E - good
