Comments

Was today all about breaking my diet rules, or what?

I skipped breakfast. BUT I slept much later than usual and did pretty much nothing all morning so I was able to totally ignore the idea of food until lunch. 

In the afternoon, I did some spring cleaning AND 30 Day Shred. So, I just wanted some carbs with dinner. And it seems that on days I exercise I can cheat a bit on the "30 grams of carbs per meal" thing without feeling a negative impact on my blood sugar. 

So, it's all whack. But I'm ok with that. Gotta keep the fatness guessing what I'm gonna do next, right?

I don't like to eat such a small lunch but I wanted to save some of my numbers for dinner because that recipe for Orange Chicken is amazing. Also, I don't know why I had two Chinese meals in one day. I guess that's what I was in the mood for?
