The Moving Story Part II
YMCA
Confession time: I ate a TON of crappy food today, and it was totally avoidable if I had done a little planning. This morning my mom and I left to drive three hours up to my old house to give it a good deep clean. Then we drove back all in one day, in the pouring rain. again. It was a very long day on the road (6 hours! I drove all of it!) and I didn’t prepare for food and snacks. I DID bring a small cooler for bottled waters and a couple of breakfast bars…..but that’s as far as it went. Keep in mind I am TOTALLY embarrassed to admit this, but this is what I ate today.
1 cup of coffee with hazelnut creamer
1 breakfast bar
2 Taco Bell tacos and an order of nachos with a coke
a double cheeseburger and fries and a coke icee from Burger King
a cupcake
a small Dairy Queen butterfingers blizzard
a mini cupcake
2 bites of chicken ravioli
a bottle of water.
Oh. my. gosh. I think I am going to be sick. I am so embarrassed!!!! How did this happen? Well, I will TELL you how. I chose to NOT be prepared for a long car trip. I would have let myself have one fast food meal, but two? and a blizzard? with cupcakes?!? Way over my limit. I am angry at myself for allowing this to happen. I KNOW better than this. I could have brought healthy snacks to eat in between my one fast food meal like:
an apple or grapes
string cheese
almonds
a sandwich
and I could have chosen to stop somewhere like Subway instead of Taco Bell. I was so worried about remembering all of my cleaning supplies this morning I didn’t even think about food. Please don’t make the same mistake I did. Think ahead when you are going on a long car trip and bring snacks accordingly!
Although I had an eating fiasco today, we DID spend three solid hours cleaning the house and it looks great!
hello!!!!
Tomorrow my goals are as follows
1.) Go get groceries
2.) Go for a run
3.) Eat healthy!!!
QOTD: What healthy snacks do you bring with you when you travel?
Oops!!! Eating on the go can be pretty tough! You can start over tomorrow! 🙂 When I travel I usually try to bring bananas, granola bars, and mixed nuts.
Healthy food for traveling? Lol. We majorly junk out on road trips. Lol. Always have. Chips, cookies, etc. sometimes trail mix and fruit, though. That’s healthy. 🙂
The house is so pretty! Not the worst food day ever – gotta live a litte right?
Your house looks gorgeous!!
Hey, you had a bad day – you’ve been working your butt off with moving. I think you can let the bad day slip. Although, I completely understand how you are feeling right now. I’ve started paying more attention to what/when/why I eat and sometimes I look back and am shocked at what I decided to eat. But you redeemed yourself by getting down and dirty with your house cleaning!
For road trips I like fruit, cheese sticks, granola, trail mix, etc. Oh, and we always have some sort of junk food (sour patch kids, skittles, chip) – just because!
Thanks for being honest about having a bad eating day! It happens to everybody, especially when they are traveling, moving, and stressed out. I hate when running bloggers say they ate terribly, and then they say that they shouldn’t have eaten that extra apple, because they really didn’t need it. Talk about making other people feel like their idea of “eating terribly” is different from theirs!
I bet you ate better today.
thank you for this comment! I pride myself on being as honest as possible on my blog. I will NEVER feel guilty about eating one too many apples haha!
I have eaten better today! I added in a cliff bar before my run and some greek yogurt as a snack. doing good so far!
So you didn’t eat like you may have wanted to….your house is gorgeous!!
haha thank you. We feel very blessed!
