So what did I eat this week?

My goal for this month is to eat inexpensively and healthfully while using up a lot of items I have stored in my pantry. I've also decided to write down my exercising as a way to motivate myself. So how did I do?

Monday:
B: Homemade bran muffin
L: Morningstar veggie burger on my favorite multigran/flax bread with carrot sticks
D: Pasta salad with chicken, carrots, zucchini, onions, and green bell peppers and a buttered piece of multigrain/flax bread
S: Carrot sticks, pirate booty, and strawberry jello

Exercise: Walked to metro and back (about 1.5 miles), ran 2.4 miles.

Tuesday:
B: Homemade bran muffin
L: Free lunch at work! (Pizza and salad)
D: Out to dinner with a friend (Cheesecake Factory!)
S: Carrot sticks, pirate booty, strawberry jello, and part of a slice of cheesecake.

Exercise: Walked to metro and back

Wednesday:
B: Homemade bran muffin
L: Leftover pasta salad from Monday night and banana
D: Leftovers from last night's dinner
S: Carrot sticks, pirate booty, strawberry jello, and the rest of the cheesecake.

Exercise: Walked to metro and back, walked 2.86miles

Thursday:
B: Homemade bran muffin
L: Morningstar veggie burger on multigrain/flax bread, banana
D: Subway turkey sandwich with a friend
S: Pirate booty, strawberry jello, and 1 chocolate chip cookie.

Exercise: Walked to metro and back (1.5 miles), walked to gym and back (about 1 mile), 35 minutes on elliptical.

Friday:
B: Homemade bran muffin
L: Peanut butter sandwich, banana
D: On the road to NC!
S: Carrot sticks, pirate booty, and strawberry jello

Walked to metro and back, sat in car for ridiculously long time...

Saturday - Sunday: Out of town :)

Ok so it is interesting to see everything written down like that. I generally consider myself a healthy eater but I do enjoy my snack foods. I think I ate more snack foods than usual this week - especially because of that cheesecake. I am going to try to minimize that next week. I do love my desserts! I don't think I am eating poorly, but I do think I could be doing better. Something to work on! Plus side - I was really active this week which always helps to offset that junk food!
