Hits and misses

So today was a long day. I exercised and felt so good after that But I did not have my dinner planned. So slipped up a bit there. But managed to keep things fairly controlled under the circumstances. But boy, even though I ate more than I should, I  feel hungry even as I write this. I am going to drink a bottle of water. NO MORE FOOD TONIGHT.

I came back later than usual in the evening and could not even have my coffee and marie biscuits until  7.15 pm in the evening. I was ravenous.

Lesson of the day: Try my best not to eat until I am famished. I find that portions that should satisfy me otherwise don't when I am extremely hungry and even after I have finished eating (the correct portion) a part of me says, "order pizza and chicken manchurian and fried rice and biriyani...." In the morning I did not even bother to measure the puttu since I was very hungry. Puttu is steamed in cylindrical contrainers, so comes out looking like a cylinder, I broke of a portion from it with a spoon, but did not measure it.  Today's experience also carries the lesson that even if you have the best of intentions, there will  still be difficult situations, what matters is your attitude. I am not going to let one dinner ruin my plans. Also, on the whole, today was pretty decent. I got my exercise and ate fruits and vegetables.
