Rough day. Made some poor choices. Went over my calorie budget. :( It really stinks.
Breakfast - I was out of smoothie materials, so I had cereal. Way more calories than my smoothie and it didn't keep me full as long...
Lunch - A smart ones microwave meal, 2 of my sons leftover fish sticks (bad idea, why couldn't I just throw them away) and 1/3 c dried cranberries (I should have gone for something more filling.)
Dinner - Had the choice between a hot dog on a white bun or baked spaghetti. I really wasn't sure which was the smarter choice, so I went with the baked spaghetti, in hopes that it'd be more filling. I added a little bit of a side salad without dressing. But then I also added an enormous chocolate chunk cookie. (Why can't I just walk past the desserts at church? Agent P wanted one, so of course I took one for myself too...)
After I put Agent P to bed, I ran out to the grocery to pick up just a couple of things. The total came to $5.45, but I had a coupon for $6 off my next purchase, so I quickly looked around for something to fill in the gap. Bad idea. Grabbed a pack of Nutter Butters (b/c they were on sale), telling myself that I'd save them for Agent P to eat another day. In actuality, they didn't make it home. "Oh I'll just have one," quickly transformed into "No point in saving it now."
So my poor choices started at breakfast and just got on as the day progressed. Which just goes to show that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And if you start off on the right track, it's easier to stay on track.
In other news, I don't usually get in a workout on Wednesdays, but I did manage to play the dancing game with Mr. P for 20 minutes before naptime. It wasn't much, but every little bit that my heart pumps helps.
