Walking the Walk - Day 5

Day 5: Today was one of "those" days. I missed breakfast due to an early appointment, and I ended up at a fast food restaurant for lunch. I'd love to report I ate a salad, but honestly, lunch looked more like a chicken sandwich and a few stolen fries from my kids.

So by 3 p.m., I'd neither exercised nor eaten any fruits or vegetables. Days like this can be dangerous to people like me -- all-or-nothing thinkers. Old me would say, "Well, I blew it today so I might as well start over tomorrow." But there's no reason why one mistake has to lead to a whole day's worth of overeating.

So dinner was light, mostly fresh fruits and vegetables -- probably not five full servings, but the best I could do. And I was back out on my bike after dinner. And just to make up for that chicken sandwich, I added in 10 minutes of ab work when I got home.
