Day 8 - Still Crazy Busy

Today has been a very hard day. I was distracted most of the day because my son spent his very first day at daycare. Somehow, I managed to stay completely on my diet. I’m starting to think that sometimes my random snacking is simply due to boredom. When I am so busy that I don’t have time to think about food, I don’t feel the need to put something in my mouth. It might help to start asking myself if I am bored the next time that I find myself thinking of food.

No pictures today as I was super busy at work. And I am about to run out of groceries, so the next few days are going to be interesting...

BREAKFAST (8:30 am)

Strawberries and Cereal with Milk:

1 cup sliced strawberries
¾ cup Kashi Go Lean cereal
8 oz skim milk
1 TBSP chopped pecans and 1 TBSP slivered almonds
Dash cloves


LUNCH (12:30 pm)

I had another serving of the leftover Garlicky Barley Vegetable Chicken soup from yesterday followed by 1 TBSP of Justin’s Chocolate Peanut Butter on a spoon on the side.

I had my daily dark chocolate shortly after lunch.

SNACK (3:30)

Chocolate Coffee Lara Bar
6 oz Greek Honey Vanilla yogurt
Mug of hot chai green tea

I wasn't thrilled with my lara bar today. Considering that I love both chocolate and coffee, I thought this one would be a home run. Sadly no.


DINNER (7:30 pm)

Herbed Chicken Pasta:

½ cup fresh spinach, ½ cup diced tomatoes, ½ cup chopped celery, and ½ cup chopped red bell pepper
½ cup whole grain penne pasta
3 oz cooked chicken
1 TBSP olive oil
Dash each of dried basil and oregano
