Food Journal Day 11-(Heidi)

Today was rough. I'll admit. It was long, I was exhausted, and I still am.

For breakfast I started the day off right. I had a bowl of Grapenuts and used a little stevia on it. I forgot to eat my banana though.

Then the day got crazy. My 8 yo came down with very red itchy eyes, the kind that looks suspiciously like pink eye...and so we threw together everything for the day (which of course did not include a snack or my water bottle) and ran out the door to get him to the clinic before I had class. It was indeed pink eye. I wound up taking him with me to school (I promise I didn't let him touch anything and doused him repeatedly in hand sanitizer, but some times there are no options).

After we did all of that we got lunch at In-N-Out. I ate a cheeseburger and 1/3 of the order of fries we got to share and a diet coke.

We also had some caramels in the car, and I had a few of those.

When I got home I was in study mode, but tired so I had some popcorn and and an apple.

Dinner was a tostada with some refried beans, ground turkey, and lettuce and a little cheese. And a glass of strawberry milk. (I have never been able to resist that from the age of 2).

It's 8pm and I'm still dragging, but trying to ignore it and just plow through the stuff I have to study. Next time I post I will be done with school for the summer and hopefully able to focus better and also have time to prep stuff in the kitchen! Here's to a healthier summer of eating! :)

And as usual I had a ton of water. I don't know how much, I'm working on my fourth glass that holds 2 cups. I'm sure I'll get through at least one, probably two more.

Days like this are the days that are hard to journal, I must admit. I just want to throw in the towel, graze on crappy food all day to try and boost my mood and my energy levels, and so this has really forced me to think twice before I put something in my mouth. Sharing with the world is a pretty decent motivator!
