Day 44

What my day should look like:

B = Eggs and Toast
9am = Tea
10.30am = Protein Bar
12pm = Tea
1.30pm = Salad
3pm = Tea
4.30pm = Protein Shake (half mix)

9.49am

So far I am happy with this week. Keep my eating on a schedule is working for me. I have had some pretty good eating days. Today would be my 6th day doing this plan, not including the weekends. This weekend however I want to work to keep the routine going. I am going to set alarms on my phone to go off in the weekend as a reminder to have the next thing. We'll see how that goes.

1.32pm

So far I've kept to a my day plan time wise, however breakfast was different and we had some cookies at work. So I had them instead of the protein bar. I've also had three cups of tea so far today. Time for lunch

3.14pm

I'm also not have the protein shake today as I have had a few more of those cookies. There are none left now, which is good, I would have eaten about 500 calories worth of them though. That's not good. I usually have around 400 calories of snacks a day which is the protein shake and bar, but still, these calories are good calories. Cookies, they are not good calories.

I'm starting to learn that there is such as thing as good and bad calories, which is a concept I didn't believe for a while.

I was naive and thought if I eat 1800 calories a day I would loose weight, even if these calories are made up of fast food, chocolate and ice cream. That is wrong.

You need to eat the right stuff too!

For me, having these cookies today means that I am not giving myself the protein shake and bar. This is not the end of the world as I am working on balancing my hunger patterns with the snacks but they are not a requirement for my nutrition.

I must ensure that my meals are the best as this is where my higher count of calories for the day comes from.

3.44pm

I do want my weekend eating to be better, so I have set alarms up on my phone for my day plan time schedule. Just for the weekends, as I think this could annoy me at work
