I need to blog the good, the not so good and the ugly around here more often. Keepin' it real. Today was not a picture perfect food day, but I want to share it anyway...

Breakfast:

Lunch: local whole wheat bread with feta, raw cheddar, sauce, garlic, olive oil and local arugula salad with amy's green goddess

snack: double shot, two chocolates

Dinner: two servings

This is an example of a weird and random eating day. I didn't bring any food with me for breakfast, this is a habit I go in and out of. I get to work so early that it doesn't leave a lot of room for eating at home or fixing something at work. Solution? Planning ahead. Have breakfast planned out or ready the night before, or keep easy breakfast items at work that are ready to go. IE: items that I won't end up over eating. Hard boiled eggs and oatmeal come to mind.

Lunch was a lot better.  I went to the store at lunch time and prepared this quickly in the office kitchen.

Snack? What the hell is this? I was feeling grumpy and moody after work. For no good reason. And then I got my vintage dress form and thought one of these iced coffee's that I have a soft spot for would be awesome. And it really was. And then I had two chocolates. I don't even like boxed chocolates. This was pointless.

Dinner? I cook, I swear. This is unusual even for me. When I got home I wasn't overly hungry and was so excited about my creative projects that I didn't even think about food until 8pm. At that point I was ready to start working on christmas presents with my sister-in-law so I grabbed these crackers and headed to her house. This was a lame dinner. They filled me up, but they left me bloated from all the salt.

Solution? plan. plan. plan. oh, and keeping the dishes clean, I hate cooking when there are dirty dishes.

Exercise did not happen today mainly because I didn't schedule it in or make it a priority.

I am happy that I came home and kept busy throughout the evening instead of crashing in front of the TV. I worked on a lot of creative projects which made food take a back seat.

Goals for tomorrow:
Wake up at 5am, do at least 30 minutes on the elliptical before work. Bring breakfast and lunch items to eat. Plan what I will either eat out for dinner or prepare for dinner. Blog how I did
