I felt exhausted all day today. I AGAIN skipped a meal (a proper breakfast) then felt the affect later and caved, hence the berry muffin. I need to find a way to stay strong willed even when I’m tired and to avoid skipping meals. Planning seems key.

I just felt like eating more after dinner, gave in and had prunes and crackers… no good. I didn’t drink much water during the day which I think was a factor. I was also craving sweet things all day. Bigger breakfasts/smaller dinners might be a good option to incorporate into my plan to stop afternoon cravings?

Great Sunday, had a 2 hour workout and thoroughly enjoyed it. Should have eaten more for breakfast but I got up late and had lots to get done so made sure I had a good protein rich lunch to make up for it. Right now its 7.55pm and my body is begging for bed. I think the combo of less high energy foods and more exercise will help with my irregular sleep patterns. YAY!
