What I Ate Tuesday

Yesterday I took a picture of everything I ate. I did this to help be more aware of what I was eating throughout the day. 

Even though I recently wrote about trying to eat out less, I did eat out yesterday. We had a last-minute opportunity to meet up with my husband for lunch, and I could not pass that up! We love family lunch dates!

Here’s a snapshot of everything I ate on Tuesday!

Breakfast: fried egg on toast, topped with cottage cheese

Lunch: 6 in. Turkey sub with provolone, lettuce, tomato, black olives and mayo

Afternoon Snack: coffee made with cream and maple syrup; bag of popcorn

I sipped on my coffee most of the afternoon, and made sure to get 60 oz of water in before I went to work in the office. On Tuesday evenings, I often go in to the office to work. I also get to work remotely any day, as I find the time. 

This afternoon in particular, my daughters were watching a movie from the projector in the cool basement (on a 95° day) while I got an hour of work in at the dining room table. 

As I set my computer up, I caught a glimpse of my youngest daughter’s lambie on the table amidst the toy clutter from this morning’s play time and I paused to take it the blessings of this day. I am so grateful that I get to be at home with my girls every summer, and that I get these moments of time to work, too.

Dinner: salami and cheese sandwich (not pictured); fiber bar; bag of chips

Evening snack: leftover chicken tender with sauce and 3 mini cow tails 

The evening snack was random. I got home from work around 9pm and I was a little hungry. I had a leftover chicken tender because it sounded good and the protein was filling. I had the mini cow tails as a sweet treat. The total calories for the day came out around 1,710 calories!
