On the Road

The past two days I've been on the road going back to school from my home (spring break). Here's how it went:

Day 1

So today I was on the road all day. I tried to choose things that are both real foods and healthy for me. I thought I was doing pretty good. Then I entered everything into the tracker- I was over by 20 points!! Things are a lot more "expensive" than I thought!

One of my big mistakes today was buying a fruit and nut mix. One serving would have been fine- I would have only been over by 4 points. Instead I had five servings and was over by 20! Lesson learned- trail mix eaten straight from the bag while driving is not a good idea.


Day 2


Today was the second day on the road. I finally arrive home at around 8 pm, yay!

I did much better today, although I still went over my points. When I got home, I didn't have much in the refrigerator, so I had a dinner out of the freezer. Still not too bad, though.
