Time to be honest and get real with myself

So, I honestly thought I wouldn't have to do this, that I would be one of those people who started the challenge and realised that I'd actually been doing well before and wouldn't have to adjust... pfft!

Yesterday was OK, although I was absolutely famished before, during and after the gym workout that I did and was concerned that my dinner would not be enough, but I didn't over eat and I didn't give in.

Today however, I was starving by lunch time and pretty much inhaled my turkey wrap. On the front of the meal plan for the turkey wrap it says that it is 333 cals, however, when I was looking over the menu at lunch time, I realised it's actually 265 cals on the recipe, so I got very excited and devoured around 10 crackers... I'm so disappointed in myself as those crackers that are in the office were the one thing I was adamant not to touch once the challenge started, it's only day 2 and I've already cracked sad I don't do hunger well, I become grumpy, irritable and not so much fun to be around.

I had thought I'd been eating well before the challenge because I rarely ate chocolate and I don't eat fast food etc... But obviously my portions sizes were much bigger and that is why I wasn't seeing any results.

I think this is my get real moment sad

I'm back on the wagon now, but my calories are going to be over tonight, good thing I'm off to a body pump class after work, that will make me slightly less guilty!
