WEDNESDAY

Day 3 was a little easier with meal planning. Breakfast was pretty simple with a cup of black coffee (sweetened with stevia) that I drank with my plate of strawberries and pineapples. It was kind of refreshing, and I didn’t feel so sluggish after eating it. Lunch was a taco salad which came with some complications while ordering because it meant that I had to make a few substitutions to get it diet-compliant. For example, they didn’t have the kind of dressing I wanted, so I got it with mango salsa and some lime juice instead. Dinner was an Amy’s brand vegetarian rice noodle bowl that I think was likely meant to be more of a side than an entire meal, but I treated myself to a limeade bar for dessert.

The overall calorie intake was easily under 1000 for the day,  so I kind of felt like I was still going to bed hungry even though I ate every meal, which didn’t happen the day before. I was extra hungry that day because it was upper body and cardio day at the gym, which is usually a tougher workout because our trainer for that likes to give us a real challenge. I’m certain she’s an ex-Dora Milaje, but I haven’t been able to prove it yet.
