tuesday's food

I really had good intentions for today. I mean I even took a shower, washed my hair AND shaved my legs. In a mama's world that is ambition!

I had a good day planned. It started to go awry when I realzed we had no more turkey for me to make a sandwich for lunch. (Kelli snuck that from the fridge yesterday). So I had cottage cheese and a ton of broccoli. Than I ate much more popcorn than I intended.

I was still doing OK until dinner. I planned on a salad, but the pasta I made for the kids just looked REALLY good. So I shared dinner with Jack.

This afternoon and evening have been all about avoiding stress eating. I'm having one of *those* days with my 3 year old. I'd forgotten how someone so little can push my buttons soooooo much.

So, here goes my first attempt at posting what I ate today. I did get in all my water today and have been running all day, too. It's the start of my week. I just wanted to have a low point day to help me rid myself of the 2 pounds of chocolate I picked up on Sunday afternoon. I couldn't weigh in today so I've got a couple of days to hopefully get back down to 166.6.

What a day! And I still have to deal with piano lessons and bed time! Wish me luck!
