I knew today might be a challenge. We spent the day out of town, and when you eat out, it can be difficult, but not impossible to make healthy choices.
Breakfast at home: I finally got eggs!! Scrambled eggs with spinach, onion, avocado and green sauce. (505 Souhwestern Flame Roasted Green Chile…mmmmm) Also, a turkey sausage link. Brandon has been eating the same meals as me when we eat together. He's done well and says he is enjoying the healthier meals.
Drinking water was easier today, because I spent quite a bit of time in the car and somehow that makes it easier. Maybe it gives me something to do??
Lunch Out: We picked up food from a favorite restaurant at my old stomping grounds, Canyon, TX, home of West Texas A&M University Buffaloes. I had blackened catfish, steamed rice and green beans, and it was delicious. Game day for Brandon, and an afternoon game threw off his schedule. He didn't eat lunch today.
The kids and I spent the afternoon with my BFF, who I met in college and our kids played together…we may have some arranged marriages in their futures. It was a perfect day. Then, we went to watch the TCS Runnin' Lions play basketball in Amarillo.
Dinner Out: Chili's. I ordered the buffalo chicken ranch sandwich with french fries. BREADED chicken on BREAD with FRIED potatoes and ketchup. At least I drank water :) I added it to My Fitness Pal, and miraculously I was still 122 calories under. This was fortunate, because I stopped for a small iced coffee in Plainview on the drive home, which could have been the difference between staying alert and falling asleep at the wheel. Brandon had Rosa's after the game before heading home.
One bad habit that I've become aware of and am working to break is finishing my kids' food. I didn't realize how much I did this, but now I catch myself and can stop doing it. I hate to waste food…or really anything. I am learning to let some things like that go, for the sake of better health and more sensible priorities.
Not a perfect day, but I would say it was successful…
