food, glorious food



Yesterday was a hard clean eating day.  The hardest part is not the food, although eating the same boring things over and over does get old!  The difficulty in eating clean yesterday was that I was home almost all day long!  My oldest son was not feeling well, just a low fever and a cold, but still tied us to the house.  all day...  I did have two appts early yesterday  morning 5:15 and 6:15 and was able to get an hour in myself thanks to my kind husband leaving for work a little later than usual.  From 8:30am-10pm it was just the kids and I.  We had as much fun as a sick, tired boy can have.  But the kitchen called my name all day.  Combine that with the fact that I was so tired= a long battle.  Below is my eating plan for yesterday.
fruit and 1oz nuts
3/4c oatmeal with flax and a protein shake with 2/3c strawberries and 1c. milk
1c. brown rice, tuna, and veg
veggies and 2TB hummus with 2 hard boiled eggs
1c. cottage cheese and 1/2blueberries
turkey burger and asparagus

A pretty decent amount of food, right?  Here are my additions to that plan. 1 tall cinnamon dolce latte with skim milk and 2 pumps of syrup.  I still haven't looked that up for the calorie count.  I also had probably 4 hershey kisses, a couple bites of sloppy joe meat (for the boys) and I only took a touch of peanut butter off of the knife after making something for the boys.  It took everything in me to keep it at that!!! 
Plans for improvement:  I remember jello being a "free food" for my last competition.  I think I will whip up a whole lot of it!!!  Watch out grocery store!  Here comes a girl with an appetite!!  Hopefully that will help.
