No Perfect Food Day

I don't think I ever have a "perfect" food day. There is always at least one thing I eat and know I could have done without it. It's fine though. I'm not going for rock hard bodybuilder. But for the most part I try to eat healthy.
This morning I had t run my son to the bus station first thing, so I didn't have time for a proper breakfast. I grabbed a banana and a bottle of lemon water on my way out the door.
When I got home I made my typical breakfast of Greek yogurt and fresh fruit. Today it was banana, nectarine, black berries in half a container Blueberry Greek yogurt. Oh, and half of a protein shake.
Driving gives me anxiety. I avoid it when I can. But since today I couldn't, I opted for a nap to chill out. Naps are a good thing!

I just had lunch, even though it's 4:00. I am focusing on protein an vegetables. So I made an omelet.
Yellow peppers, portabella mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, spinach, summer squash, broccoli, tomatoes and garlic. I sprinkled on some feta for good measure.
I'm 40, and apparently protein becomes even more important since my body is breaking down my muscles in preparation for being old and feeble. So I have to up my protein to stay on top of that, and build new muscles. I usually get my protein from vegetable sources (Quinoa anyone? Spinach?) but with a tough workout scheduled for later today I went old school.

My workout today consisted of the three 30 day challenges I'm doing this month. Arms, Abs and squats. Then I went for a 1 mile run, and I did some extra push ups. For an after workout snack I had half a container of blueberry Greek yogurt and half of a banana.

My husband took me out to Panara for dinner. I had Lemon Chicken Orzo soup, and I only ate half of the bread that came with it. So half of what is is the picture. I couldn't finish all of the soup. I also had the Turkey Avocado BLT. I ate all of that. I saved the apple for later.


Tonight I am having a Belgian White beer. Never a perfect food day :)
