It's Friday, Not a Free-For-All!

I used to follow the mentality "It's the weekend so I can eat whatever I want" because apparently there is no such thing as calories and fat on the weekends.  Weekends started as Saturday and Sunday.  Then somehow Friday joined in, and Thursday is Friday-eve so that must be included too.  Pretty soon the whole week was the weekend and I was eating whatever I wanted because it was always the weekend.

Chalk this up to one more thing I've changed.  Today is Friday and I ate just like I have been for the past 6 weeks...no splurging because it's Friday.  Here was my menu for the day:

7:00am
Breakfast shake (same as yesterday)

10:15am
5.3oz plain greek yogurt with 1 Tbsp. agave nectar and 1 Tbsp. ground flaxseed

12:30pm
4oz. salmon patty, 1/2 cup potatoes with Earth Balance, and one cup fresh green beans (all leftovers from last night)

3:45pm
1/2 large pear and small handful raw unsalted walnuts (probably 8-10 walnut halves)

7:00pm
4-5oz chicken breast and 2 cups of salad consisting of asparagus, tomatoes, mushrooms, and avocado. (See the picture below.)  Here's a trick...use a smaller plate and bowl and it makes it look like you're eating more!

No more using a day of the week to justify eating like crap!  Every day counts, even the ones that start with "S"!
