My birthday was this past Wednesday. Because of this (And the alcohol consumed on that day) I completely forgot to take pictures of my food that day. I have pictures for Tuesday, but forgot to post them. I was under the calorie limit that day, but not so for Wednesday. Thursday was not so great. I've heard somewhere that when you eat too much one day, your sense of hunger and appetite is screwed up for at least the next day if not several days afterwards. I felt it yesterday. I started off well, but then I just kept wanting to snack.
Today I got back on track.

This isn't food. It's my sad face after walking back to the office from the gym at lunch. It was pouring rain, high winds and general freezy-ness outside, and once we got inside, my face actually started hurting as it thawed out. My nose as you can see is still a little reddish.

Thoughts for the day- I'm glad to be back in the habit. As another step towards my fitness, I plan to start swimming at my home gym at least once a week! I used to be a good swimmer, but I've lost all the endurance I used to have, and I know it will be a great low impact workout.
