Musings

It was not a great day food wise.  I did not track but didn't eat a lot so have a pretty good idea of what I came out at.

Breakfast was my regular oatmeal with blueberries and yogurt.  After which the baby (who is 2) had a full blown all out tantrum which only ended when J gave her is egg on toast breakfast.  Which meant on the way to work we stopped at Tim's to get him a muffin.  I got a doughnut (stress eating).

I had physio mid morning and I knew that meant lunch would be late so I brought a banana.  But physio did not go well and I ended up buying a chocolate bar on my way to pick up Alexis from daycare.  I ended up not feeling hungry all afternoon and it was supper before I realized I hadn't eaten anything else. 

Goulash for dinner and then I made up a tasty snack for Ella and I of cut up banana topped with crushed pecans, coconut and whipped coconut milk.  Very tasty.

And along the way I realized that if I threw all the 'shoulds' out the window and listened to my body I would probably end up right where I want to be.  Meaning if I'm not hungry at 10am I don't need to have a snack.  If I have a snack at 11 instead and then don't want a full lunch, that's ok.  If I only want a little dish of dinner and a bigger snack at 7pm that's ok as well.

Of course this only really works if what I'm choosing to eat is mostly healthy choices.  I'm thinking I might give it a shot for a few days.  And tracking my calories just to see where I end up.
