A Perfect Day

Nutritionally speaking, I think I had a perfect day.

I started my day out right by eating breakfast (granola with skim milk).

I took a cooler full of healthy snacks to work- which I munched on throughout much of the morning. Carrot sticks, sliced green pepper, strawberries, and chocolate covered rice cakes (which are really, really good).

I also drank a 16 oz bottle of water before lunch.

Hubs and I came home for lunch where I enjoyed a small sandwich (on a dollar roll) and more fruit. I also drank a can of tomato juice and a 100% juicy juice box (counts as 1/2 c fruit).

This afternoon, I ate more carrot sticks and enjoyed a 100 calorie jello cup. I also drank 2 bottles of water.

Tonight, I had a hotdog and beans AND ate more strawberries and had a cup of apple sauce. You can criticize me for the hot dog (and maybe the beans), but I did really well in terms of fruits and veggies.

The real test will be at the bowling alley. Tonight is league bowling. Last time, I brought my own drink (lemonade) and didn’t buy anything! Everyone else on the team ate dinner at the alley (chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, cheeseburger, soda, and beer) but not me! I waited until I got home to eat. Tonight, I’m bringing a lunch bag full of snacks- more veggies and some rice cakes.

I’m really proud of myself.

This proves one thing; I can do anything for a day ;)
