I did notice i felt a bit dizzy in the early evening, but felt better after i ate something.
Your list is fabulous! Especially because you are just off the 5dp thingy...or 2 week pouch thingy...LOL. and WOW on the protein number..
You do need that extra water if you're gonna hit the protein that hard but you can dial it in..Keep it up..it's working great. See ya.

my eats
cup of yogurt when i first got up (im ALWAYS hungry when i wake up)
protein shake after my walk
we went shopping this morning so we stopped at a place i had never been before but ive always heard great things about called bobs drive in. they have amazing strawberry shakes with chunks of fresh strawberries in them so that was my first downfall of the day, i shared one with my boyfriend. the burgers and the fries there are AMAZING! i ate about half of a 1/4 pound burger and a handful of the fries. took the rest home.
banana for an afternoon snack
my son had a very close (winning) baseball game and after the game his coach took the team out for ice cream and of course i couldnt go without so i ordered a small oreo flurry and ate a little more than half of that.
when we got home i ate another banana before bed then woke up at 4 a.m. wedensday morning with a belly that was so empty that i was getting sick so i jumped up and ate another banana. all in all not the greatest day for me.
The problem with burgers is the bun. I order them wrapped in lettuce or low carb I think they call it..They can be messy but I can eat a whole thing without the bun..
Walking is alot better for you than running. I used to run when I was in high school but I quit before I hurt myself too bad..now walking is the most I do, or swimming, I think.
Still, you can overcome this day of carb festing tomorrow...it's hard because those carbs will make you really want more carbs. But you can do it..
Keep up the good work. See ya

I think shakes are still too sweet for me, so i dont really trip off of them.
The burger on the other hand LOL oh i can down a buger & some fries NP!
But i like that you split it w/ your BF. Ive gotten back in to doing that lately too. Splitting it makes me feel "better" about eating it lol
I like & agree w/ what Dawn has to say about just eating the meat from the burger though! While it is messy - i see a lot of ppl doing that. You can even order it w/o the bun.
Thats something im going to try & implement.
Breakfast:
Sausage, egg and cheese biscuit from McDonald's
Med Sugar free iced coffee
Snack:
Strawberries
FF Yogurt
Lunch:
Wendy's lg chili ... ate most of it.
2 saltine crackers
Snack:
2 tbsp of peanut butter
1 graham cracker
carton of FF milk
Dinner:
1/2 cup of tuna helper w/ extra tuna added
3 big steamed broccoli spears
Snack:

Carb city but i don't do it often so oh well, today is a new day.
You're SO right...you don't do that often at all. I keep being reminded of my ex, who in his best New Jersey accent would say "Alittle annointing now and then." LOL. You can eat those things occasionally..and not hurt anything at all.
Keep up the good work. See ya.
