What I Ate Wednesday #2

Hey Guys!

I know this post is coming a few days behind, but hey what can i say? Life caught up with me !

Anyways- I'll be the first to admit that consistency can sometimes be one of my biggest downfalls, and that being said, with the heat that has been raging over my city - and lack of consistency, i just did not have my shiz together when it came with meal planning.

I didn't have breakfast this day.

Bad i know.

I had 2 pieces of crazy bread for lunch - its getting worse i know.

And then last but not least, i made a pesto and just had it with some flat bread, and snacked on a few cherries.

( make sure you follow me on instagram)

 I know ( or what i hear) the worst thing one can do is not eat when they are trying to shed some weight.

Anyways- i did film a quick little video of what i was at throughout the day! You can check it out down below !

I promise i will get better at this guys !
