I really don't have much to say today. It was just another day. Nothing super exciting or out of the ordinary (for me anyway). I did go out with my sisters tonight which is always fun and a nice break from everything else. I even feel like I made good choices for dinner.
Breakfast: I had room service this morning in the hospital while I was sitting with my little one. I had an omelet with mushrooms, onions, green peppers and swiss cheese. I also had cream of wheat with a little brown sugar and milk in it, some pan fried potatoes and watermelon. I know it was a huge breakfast but I woke up really hungry and I didn't eat anything else until lunch time.
Lunch: White rice with a little butter and soy sauce, teriyaki baked tofu and sugar snap peas (raw).
Dinner: I had a regular roast beef sandwich from Arby's and a side salad with about 1 tsp. of balsamic vinaigrette and a diet Dr. Pepper.
Snack: Well it was girls night and the only true consistency of girls night (besides Target) is U-Swirl. I had to try something new since my usual flavor was not there anymore. I had chocolate and angel food cake swirled. And since I have very strange tastes (or so my sisters say) I had some gummy bears, Reece's Pieces and a cupcake shell. I did go lightly on the candy but probably should have left it off completely.
I did not drink enough water, or anything for that matter today. I really need to focus on drinking water...
I also need to set some goals for me and my family regarding eating out. We eat at restaurants way too often. I have tried making menu's and planning out the food for the week but this never seems to work because I am a mood eater and I really have to be in the mood for something and it is impossible to predict my mood. We also are on the go a lot so it is easier to grab and go at a drive thru. This has become a very important thing to me since our baby is now starting to want what we are eating and I want to set a good example for her about healthy eating habits. Any advice on creating and keeping to a healthy eating schedule and menu planning ideas would be great!
I run into the same problem with planning a menu. I end up not wanting what was on the menu and then I feel stuck. I think it's better to have some basic things and then a loose meal plan. Not "Monday we are having X" but rather we have these things to cook so which should we have tonight?
