Food Diary on Steriods

Ok, so yesterday was not as bad as I thought it would be (not that great either though. Vegetables? What are those?). I attribute that to two things: 1) I was crazy busy every single minute yesterday. Seriously, I was lucky my teeth got brushed. 2) I forget the teeny little fact that Aaron was going to be out of town yesterday, so no weights class. -sob- I don't think my body was as hungry as it's been over the last couple of days.

Let's start off on a high note shall we?

I love staring at the 51% as I eat my sweetened honey clusters and flakes. 13 grams of fiber! This cereal is so weird though. The clusers taste so yummy it makes me suspicious. And the brown flakes? They are okay but taste remarkably like paper. In a good way. Like I said: weird.
I was tempted soon after by more cereal. I tend to take a bite or two when I'm feeding le bebe. It's whole milk. Ew. Who loves ingesting invisible fat grams in the form of MILK? Not I.

Now onto the Zone Bar. Perhaps the least exciting part of foody day, but I really like these things. They feel like a treat and have lots of protein so I usually try to time it so I can eat it soon after my pump class.
Ok. These are really good. Shredded chicken taco: I will be posting the recipe for this chicken later. It's moderately healthy (yes! There ARE veggies in there) and can be used in MANY different ways. Here's a little tip, I use the small side of my grater to grate my cheese. I end up using a third of the cheese I normally would but I still cover everything and get the taste. It melts easier too! Here's the inside (I know. The outside really does look better. Take my word for it. Oh-so-yummy):

I love the fact that I can wear a white shirt with three little boys and successfully make it through my day... until lunch. Moving right along to my mid-afternoon snack: Pineapple and cottage cheese. Perfect!! Until I got reeeally hungry 20 minutes later. I pulled out Aaron's rice Krispie treats and the fiber one box. Maybe it would've been a harder choice if I didn't ALSO crave the FiberOnes, heh heh. No Thank You Rice Krispie treats!


What? How did you get there?
So I did have a little bite of this forlorn little Rice Krispie treat leftover from one of my kids. But I did throw the rest away.

(Ok, this is where the pictures stop. They're taking too darn long to load.) I didn't actually have a real dinner mostly because it was just the kids and me. So we all had cereal. Frosted mini-wheats to be exact. It was very tasty. I also finished off a little bit of oatmeal leftover from the baby. No protein or veggies. I know, I know, no need to scold me.

Although it was not the best day nutrient-wise, it could've been a LOT worse. I've been mindlessly overeating over the past couple of days, and this really helped. I mean, I did have a conversation with an unopened bag of chocolate chips, and stared longingly at a half of a baby-eaten jello fruit cup and of course I didn't mention the knife n' peanut butter plague. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. A bag of mini candy bars mysteriously showed up at my door around 7:30. No Joke. So after a baby Almond Joy (almonds are healthy right?) I called it a day. Now I'm off to bed, I have to get up in a couple of hours for spin.

FYI, I might be doing this more, it's the easiest (and funnest) way to keep tabs on my eating. Happy Friday Everyone! Good luck on those weigh-in's!
