My Day

Started the morning off at 6am with a 40 minute workout, "The Biggest Loser Cardio Max". I love "The Biggest Loser" workouts because I know that I can do them and I will get a good workout. Spent the morning hanging out with the kids, had "Special K" protein shake for breakfast and a grilled chicken breast and a salad for lunch. The day started off on a positive note but took a huge downward spiral at snack time.
You see, some friends and I took our kids to the pumpkin patch today, great time, but horrible food choices for someone trying to eat healthfully. The snack menu consisted of funnel cakes, fried oreos, soft pretzels, ice cream, cotton candy, etc. It was quite hard to pick something healthy. Yes, I could have passed up the whole snack thing, but my daughter B was begging for a snack and I decided we would share a funnel cake and a soft pretzel between the two of us and my son J. Well, B ate a little bit of the funnel cake and licked salt off of her piece of pretzel. J mostly just put stuff in his mouth and spit it out, so being the good mother I am, I ate the remainder of the snack. My only saving grace was one of my friends' daughters asking her mom for a funnel cake and I let her have about a third of the one we were eating.
We rounded out the day with dinner at a place called Fazoli's (Italian faster food, I say this because it was faster than a sit down restaurant, but much slower than true fast food). Well, it was tough enough to try to decide what to feed my kids that I just broke down and ate a pasta bake with chicken and white alfredo sauce, smothered in cheese. Neither smothered or creamy alfredo sauce scream healthy, but I guess you win some, you lose some. On the upside I spent close to 4 hours running around after kids at the pumpkin patch, so my day may have not turned out so unhealthy after all.
