Cheater cheater, ice cream eater

Yesterday I started out with great intentions to stick to the post-vacation "diet". Here is a rundown:

Breakfast:

• Brown rice (leftover from Monday night's dinner), with almond milk and raisins, heated.
• 1.5 cups of coffee

I decided that I like oatmeal much better for breakfast than rice, but I wanted to try it.

 Lunch:

• Salad: Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, peas, yellow pepper
• Small can of tuna (eaten on top of the salad)

 Dinner (after a tough, but good gym workout):

• Tilapia (left over from Monday's dinner), with lemon on top
• Glass of Pinot Grigio
• Quinoa (made with chicken broth) mixed with peas, broccoli, and carrots

 I brought half of the leftover quinoa mix for lunch today.



 I also had a few snacks during the day:

• A banana
• An orange
• A handful of almonds

And then, I fell off "the wagon" not once, but TWICE yesterday! (I know I know. I hang my head in shame).


First, I was starving around 2pm and I had no 1-2 ingredient snacks left. The Balance bar in my drawer was burning a hole in me, so I gave in.

I was so hungry, I couldn't even wait until after I took the
picture to open it.

And now comes the after-dinner cheat-fest....ice cream. I've mentioned before how I'm obsessed with the Skinny Cow ice cream cups. Well, this one was burning a hole in me from the freezer. (And I'm not talking about freezer burn).

And of course, during the day I also drank tons of water, as usual.



So there it is...I'm a cheater.

Giuliana would be so disappointed.
