WIAW … Election Day
| November 7, 2012 | Posted by Madeline @ Food, Fitness, and Family under WIAW |
Yesterday was a long and stressful day. My eating went out the window. Oh well. Healthy living isn’t about eating perfectly every single day for your entire life. It is about finding balance and understanding when days just don’t go right. I am not going to beat myself up or apologize when I don’t eat as clean as I would like. As proof, I am sharing my eats for my “What I Ate Wednesday“. Thanks Jenn of Peas and Crayons for hosting!
BREAKFAST
Breakfast was innocent enough with egg and spinach scramble, fruit, a slice of bacon, and whole wheat toast. I like bigger breakfasts. In fact, breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. True story.
LUNCH
I had a LOVE chicken burrito for lunch with guar, salsa, and tasty cheese. Healthy … no. Fast? Yes. I have a final next week and a crazy child. Mix those two together and there’s not a lot of time this week to whip up lunches. I do what I can. It was delicious 
DINNER
Pizza, baked potato bread bowl, and Hawaiian meatballs = election night party food. Again, delicious. Absolutely not healthy. We had friends over to watch the election coverage.
Overall there are days where I know I could have done better. Yesterday was obviously one of them. When I have those kinds of days I just remember that tomorrow is a new one and move on. That’s all. No self hate, no guilt, just knowledge of what I can do to do better. :)

If that was a bad day for you then you should see what I ate. Haha I was a little piggy. Your food actually looks like me good day.
I agree that your day could have been much worse!! I tend to go overboard on sugar on my bad days, and I didn’t see any of that here.

I’m the same way with breakfasts– Go big or go home
No but really, if I feel like I don’t have a big enough breakfast than my hunger for the rest of the day seems to be off the charts. Hope yesterday was a little less stressful for ya <3
