Last Friday (April Fool's Day) was my last weigh-in. Saturday I went to NYC, and embarked on four days of off-plan eating, including fabulous desserts, and one pasta-based meal that I will remember for a long time. In fact, Tuesday, all I had to eat were some savory breakfast rolls, a chocolate babka and an almond croissant (with some almond butter on the side).

Net Loss/Gain:                   -  1.0 lbs.

Diet Comment

Nice - yesterday's concentrated, though late-hour-tilted on-plan eating undid a couple of recent less-than-on-plan days.

Food Log

Breakfast
Skipped.

Lunch
Green protein shake with almond-coconut milk, kefir, extra-large organic egg, chia gel, kale, whey powder (36g protein), almond butter, hemp seeds, hemp protein (7g protein), raw organic cacao powder, celery, moringa leaf powder, cinnamon, and stevia-inulin blend.

Dinner

The despised yet irresistible Brookside Crunchy Clusters fell into my shopping basket. This is going to be a major problem tomorrow, since I ate them until I was sick.

Snack
Finished the (large) bag of Brookside Crunchy Clusters, because I did not have the willpower to throw the bag out, as I should have. I'm over this now - I've eaten them until I'm sick of them.
