Hi everyone, I hope you had a wonderful day. We had quite the busy day over here. Sophia had her dress rehearsal tonight and boy do these things run long. But I have to admit I love everything about the dance recital process; gosh I am such a dance mom. 🙂
Isabella and I watched Sophia rehearsal and it was so much fun. When it was all over Isabella told said, “that was awesome”. It was so sweet and genuine.
Well, since it is Wednesday it is time to talk about food and I thought today would be a perfect way to show you how I try to stay on track while running around like a crazy women. As always, thank you Jenn for hosting What I Ate Wednesday.
Breakfast 8am
I slept in this morning until 6am instead of my usual 5am. So, our day started a little late. Actually, McKayla slept with me from 3am until 6am and I simply couldn’t stop snuggling her. My alarm went off in the 5 o’clock hour a few times and I kept turning it off I know my little baby is only going to be little for so long and I wanted extra snuggles. I will tell you I don’t regret that decision one bit. But I still wanted to get my workout in, so McKayla and I got up just after 6am and went to do my workout routine before the rest of my girls woke up.
After I finished and all the girls were awake we made some pumpkin protein pancakes. Our favorite.
Snack 9am
For some reason I was really craving something sweet, so I had a few yogurt covered pretzels with almond butter. Yum!! These are so addicting so I always make sure to count out a few and put the bag away. I don’t eat directly out of the bag otherwise I could eat the whole thing. And of course I always measure out my nut butter because who couldn’t eat the entire jar.
Lunch 11am
I had some turkey, carrots, and hummus along with a peanut butter and jelly flatbread. I haven’t had this combination in a while. But I love the salty and sweet.
Snack 1pm
I enjoyed a bowl of fruit.
Snack 4pm
Before leaving for the dress rehearsal I knew I needed something to hold me over until I got home so I grabbed a paleo protein bar and a banana.
Oh and I grabbed a few peanut butter crackers. We all love these, but again I always make sure to count out the amount I want and not eat from the box; before I know it I would have eaten the entire box.
Dessert 8pm
Okay, so I never really had dinner tonight, but it happens. After we got home from dress rehearsal and I got Sophia and Isabella to bed, fed both babies I really felt like something sweet. So, I simply made a single serve chocolate cake.
So, as you can see it was not the perfect day of clean eats, but I also made sure not to fall off the bandwagon. I wanted to make sure I still ate healthy and kept my portions in check. When I get busy I know it is easiest to simply grab things to eat, but I always make sure to portion things out even when busy. Remember my motto is everything in moderation.
