What I Ate Monday: Jan 5

Hello! Today, I wanted to share what I ate earlier this week as I worked to get back on track with my nutrition and back to tracking it.

I started out the day with a cup of tea, and a tsp. of sugar. I was drinking water most of the morning and wasn’t hungry for breakfast.

After I took my daughter to preschool, I cleaned up the house and checked my work emails while walking on the treadmill. I told myself I’d walk for 15 minutes and ended up walking for 25 minutes! After my walk, I sat down for a stretch and of course the dogs had to join me.

I noticed I was starting to get hungry just as it was time to pick up my youngest from “pretty school” (as she calls preschool) so I grabbed a Premier Protein for the road.

For lunch, I made myself a make-shift meatball sub with a slice of rye bread, three meatballs, and a slice of pepperjack cheese melted on top. I hand a small handful of green beans on the side, too.

For my afternoon “snack” I had a butter pecan latte made with my husband’s homemade simple syrup and oat milk.

I also had a Fresca as the afternoon went on.

As I was making dinner, I was craving something sweet so I snagged a few Hershey kisses from the cupboard.

For dinner, I made chicken pot pie soup and drop biscuits. The soup was so creamy and delicious! It was packed with vegetables, too!

After dinner, I made some homemade chocolate chip cookies while the kids and my husband built a snowman outside. I ate 2.


My entire day came out to about 1700 calories, which is a great calorie deficit for my current goals!
