I just looked back over my calories for the last three days... and I just realized that I was under 1200 calories for three days running....I work a double shift at work two days a week, and I have a one hour plus commute each way. I pack lots of healthy food, but a lot of times I end up bringing much of it home.
So, at work on Sunday I guess I was busy and didn't have much time to eat (I don't get a break, per se...) so I ate 1000. Monday, I was tired, so I didn't get up until around 10:30. Drank coffee and ended up skipping breakfast... and then stayed OP for lunch and dinner so I ended up with only 900.
Yesterday, I consumed a grand total of 703.
It really wasn't intentional, especially yesterday. I worked a sixteen hour double shift with a one hour commute on each side. I packed lots of healthy food but ended up bringing most of it home.
I ate breakfast as usual, a cheese stick for morning snack, leftover salmon and veggies for lunch and a nonfat yogurt for a snack around 4, but then I didn't have time to eat dinner... I got home around midnight, and my husband had kept chicken breast and veggies warm on the stove but it was late and I was exhausted so I didn't feel like eating.
Am down another 1.5 pounds, but I know that I'm not eating enough. Today I just feel really exhausted (not unusual for a post-work day...)
Should I eat a little extra today to make up for it? Or should I just move on?
I don't know why lately, but sometimes even when I feel hungry I'm just too lazy to eat. Maybe because eating has always been recreational rather than hunger driven and now that I'm not eating recreationally it's easier to ignore hunger? And sometimes, like when I'm at work, I don't notice that I'm hungry at all...
