The butterfly effect:
One little act can affect so many others---a lesson learned today. Was kinda lazy/tired and skipped my 6.30am gym, and then some things got screwed up from that point on (not all of them though, so pat myself on the back, and move on..) Though I do want to journal the events and the consequences as a point for future reference. So, yeah, as I was saying, I slept on longer, and so skipped breakfast too..stopped by real quick for my morning cup o' jo at Starbucks and decided to pick up "healthy breakfast" there--well, what seemed like an innocuous 130-cal, high protein, safe choice little bag of mixed nuts, I later realized was 2.5 servings in that little baggie--as a result I raked up 7.5pts in that little itty-bitty snack!! Well, I guess, it wasn't as bad as a bagel and cream cheese though....anyway, the rest of the day wasn't too bad--didn't get a chance to drink enough water (again, coz I didn't get in the 1 litre before and after my morning workout). Lunch was healthy--and managed to actually STOP for lunch, had two fruits for snacks, and dinner was great with high proteins and lots of veggies in my salad (loved this spinach-tomato-red-pepper-olive oil salad, btw!). Am also lazy to go workout in the evenign....so no activity today. Saving grace: points are good, balanced well, and protien and fiber received through meals. Back to the gym tomorrow. The next 3-4 days are going to be busy and stressful--gotta make sure to have a plan and follow it well! And make sure to start off the day well---coz one bad event can set off a whole chain reaction (possibly worse than today!!)
