Intermittent Fasting: Day 5

1/5/2018

This is the first day I have not been under my calorie goal since tracking, and that's including the 500 calorie day. I made some great, well-planned decisions and stuck to them. Then, I was also lazy in some areas.

Breakfast: Today was my last day until I don't know when to sleep in a little bit. So, when I got up and made breakfast for the kids, I just didn't want to make breakfast for myself. I wasn't hungry anyway, so I had an extra turkey sausage link and my water and coffee.

Lunch: By lunch I was a little hungry, so I had a chicken quesadilla.

Snacks: I went to the movies with some friends, so to avoid the temptation to get popcorn or a coke, I filled up my 32 oz. Nalgene with water and grabbed a package of almonds. It worked beautifully…except I finished my water and had to get up and leave during the movie to use the bathroom.

After the movie, I went to Sprouts to stock up on some fruits (apples, bananas and banana chips) and veggies (asparagus and brussel sprouts). I picked up some sparkling water and some lemons to add to my boring regular water. I also grabbed some Skinny Pop :)

Dinner: We were going out to eat with family, and I knew this in advance, so I had tried to plan accordingly for where we were going to eat. We get to the restaurant and they were not busy at all but apparently had so many take out orders to fill that it was going to be a long wait. So, we went next door to Twisted Root Burger Co. I had a hamburger and some fried pickles. Those pickles put me over my calories, but they were worth it!! Haha

Now…we just need to eat at home, so I can cook all this healthy food I bought!! I will be weighing in on Mondays and will share how this plan is affecting my weight loss goals. I don't expect to see a lot of change until I'm exercising again, along with the intermittent fasting plan.
