I hope you are having a wonderful week thus far. We had a great day today; having Mimi here might have been the reason!!

Since, it’s Wednesday I am link up with Jenn for What I Ate Wednesday. I can’t believe how long it has been since joining in on this fun link-up. So, I thought it was time to share what I have been eating lately. There was a time in my life when I never missed a week, but life has been crazy I just can’t always make it happen.

I have been getting a lot of emails and messages asking about my caloric intake, so today I am going to show you how many calories I actually ate today. Now, I must say my calories vary from day to day but typically I eat around 1800 calories per day.

Breakfast 7:00am

After my workout and getting dressed I had pumpkin protein pancakes and a Greek yogurt waffle (I couldn’t decide what I was in the mood for and I had both batters made). (calories 332)

 

Snack 9:30am

After we got back from getting Sophia on the bus I took a shower then had another Greek yogurt waffle (the recipe makes about 2 huge waffles, depending on your waffle iron). (calories 176)

Lunch 12:00pm

After getting back from Isabella’s gymnastics class I had half a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with my girls. (calories 215)

Snack 3:00pm

I was hungry again, so instead of snacking mindlessly I had some turkey and a poached egg on toast. (calories 260)

Dinner 5:45pm

While I gave the girls a bath, Steve made dinner for us. He made creamy parmesan chicken with penne noodles. Sorry I didn’t take a picture. But it was delicious. (calories 570)

Snack 6:30pm

A handful of mini peanut butter crackers with the girls. (calories 125) with a Reese’s peanut butter cup. (calories 110)

Total Calories: 1788

This is approximately the amount of calories I ate today because I did have a handful of popcorn. I will tell you I like to keep my calories around 1800, but I am not extremely strict about it, I am always snacking on fruit or carrots and I may grab a few crackers or a handful of popcorn (like I did today), etc.
