Tuesday and Wednesday of this week went pretty well. I kept track of my foods and actually stayed under the 1700 calories both days. Yesterday however was a different story.
We had about 4 inches of snow come through Wednesday night. For some of you that amount of snow wouldn't affect anything, however in the south that amount of snow shuts everything down. Schools were out yesterday and today. Being a teacher that means I am at home. I love being able to be here at home with my little girl and yesterday my hubby was home too. However that makes for bigger challenges in eating!
To start the day off my husband made biscuits and gravy. A nice starchy way to start the day. The for lunch we had left over chicken and dumplings. So yummy, but more carbs. And to top the day off we had grilled cheese sandwiches, again yummy but so fattening and full of carbs! I can't blame my husband for everything, I was the one who chose to eat the chicken and dumplings for lunch and grilled cheese sandwiches were my idea as well.
These cold wintry days makes me want good old comfort food and the fact that I am home all day gives me way to many opportunities to snack all day. I did work on several crafting projects yesterday which keeps my hands and my mind busy so I don't think about food but it is still such a challenge.
Today is another snow day and so far I have done well. I have even logged my food for the day, which I did bother with yesterday, and I am determined to make this day a better food choice day!
