Photos and reflections after the fold.

I’ve been working from the office this week and some of last week for a mix of reasons, so I’ve been mostly eating take-away for lunch, which led to small shopping trips from the supermarket near my office to fill in the gaps.

It turns out they have broth frozen variations (not great…) and different flavours of the Fitness Outcomes meals that form the core of my good meals these days. I’ll find out what the different flavours taste like over the next couple of days. Doing the numbers, I’ve eaten into tomorrow’s budget already, but I expect to make that up over the weekend once I’m catching up on sleep.

My “extra” meals have consisted of the above two protein bars, and (over the week) five of these trail mix packets, from the office snack area. It’s better than getting into the biscuit jars, I guess?

This is actually an older photograph, but my cheat meals have all been this same thing. I’m going to do an interim weigh-in later as (once I write up my March summary…) I am trying to work out if there’s a particular cheat meal that I’ve grossly underestimated (I have a few candidates in mind), or if I am underestimating all of my cheat meals and need to adjust the rules.

Tomorrow is a team day-in-office so there’s a good chance there’ll be a cheat-meal or big extra-meal as well, unless the flooding and ongoing pandemic keeps people at home again.
