Walking around with their elbows out, were they?
LOL!! I've had the same problem the last couple of days! It's only 4:45 PM and I've already had 900 calories today and I'm STILL hungry!

Friday 6 January
Oh dear a really crap day, work wise and so the meal timings were a shocker.
5.30am Gym
30 mins Cardio HIIT - Treadmill
2.5mph/6mph 8% incline
6.30am
1 cup bran cereal
1/2 cup FF milk
1 cup whites, 1 whole egg
Supplements
2 cups coffee, splash milk
Spent 2 hours in phone conference
12.30pm
4oz chicken breast
1/2 avocado
2 slices Performax bread
Another lengthy phone conference
And then suddenly, before I knew it, it was the end of the work day.
So decided to have my reward meal. I've still got this thing about Fridays, it is the end of the week for me and I am so used to relaxing and drinking. It is a reward for getting through the week.
7.00pm
2 large pieces garlic bread
Medium size fillet steak
About 1 cup steak fries
About 1 cup asparagus and snow peas
2 glasses dry white wine
And then:
3 scoops White Chocolate Macadamia Mania ice cream w/ hot fudge
Let's not even think about cals and macros.
Did I feel guilty? Did I hell
Until this morning................
Ugh. I feel almost toxic, not hungover, just bloated and sick to my stomach. I knew that the only way to get over it was to go to the gym.
7.30am Gym
Cardio - Treadmill
30 mins Steady state - 4mph @ 3% incline
And now I'm going to have my usual breakfast of bran and egg whites. Back on it again. What is wrong with me?? LOL!!!!

It was your cheat/reward meal, so don't worry about it. It's planned and part of your program. Now as long as you wait till next week to go off program again, you'll be just fine.
