Today I am sharing a full day of eats from Thursday of this week. It all started out with an oatmilk latte while I joined a meeting via TEAMS from home.
After my meeting, I grilled a mini tortilla and used leftovers to make an open-faced cheeseburger. I ate this for “lunch” before loading up my youngest and her bike to ride around the park. We spent some time down at the creek, too!
After the park, we grabbed a snack from home. It wasn’t too long after that we went to the library together.
After the library, I was feeling hungry and tired. I almost convinced myself to go through Tim Hortons to get a 400+ calorie cold brew with cold foam because those are so satisfying to me. However, I didn’t want to spend that many calories on a drink on this day.
So, I waited until I got home and I warmed up the last leftover beef patty and had myself a “bunless burger”.
Later that evening, we had a get together with some friends and ate dinner there.
It was a good day! Total calories are unknown but since I have a lot of practice tracking calories, I’d say I was somewhere within my calorie budget, if not just a little over.
This is why I allot myself a couple of days each week to not track. Giving myself a couple days like this takes the pressure off from feeling like I need to “get it all right, all the time”.
I know that I balanced as well as I could on this day, and that’s good enough!
