Getting some steps in and some eats

So, my day yesterday was busy, busy, busy. When I'm on call, the call is 24 hours and there is nothing I like less than a busy 24 hour shift. That being said, when you're too busy to eat, I feel like that probably helps with weight loss. But, the lack of sleep? Maybe that's a negative.

Anywho, once home, I showered, made some breakfast, and then met with our financial advisor to finally start some 529s for the kiddos and put in more of my hard-earned money to our retirement accounts. Money is so complicated and I don't have a clue what I'm doing, so I'm very thankful there are smart folks around to help me.

After 2 hours of financial planning, I watched the last episode of Only Murders in the Building. I'll be honest, I was a bit disappointed in this last episode. For those who are watching, what'd you think? Anyway, because I need to keep moving, I opted to walk in place while watching TV. I know walking isn't much, but it's better than sitting! And these types of small healthy changes can be a big game changer in the grand scope of life. 

After TV, I napped to catch up on the sleep I didn't get yesterday and to get enough sleep for my next two 24 hour shifts. Yes, I'm crying on the inside. After my nap, I made some turkey taco meat for dinner tonight and then went to get the kiddos. Once home, I got dinner together and then we enjoyed some tacos. After dinner, I took the kiddos to Costco to get some milk and watermelon and picked up some good-looking salmon while there. Once home, it was bath time and bed time. After the kids were in bed, I cleaned up a bit and then got the last of my steps in watching Junior Bake Off on Netflix.

Today's food photos are next! Not pictured was my breakfast - had scrambled eggs and some avocado. Also not pictured was my dessert banana (eaten after dinner) and two servings of sliced ham for snackage. 

The perfect banana

My snack after nap time (didn't want to ruin dinner)

Taco! I thought we had hard shells, but alas, we did not, so I had a carb smart tortilla

Second taco, but without the tortilla to save on some calories

Today's dinner fruit (we usually have some kind of fruit with dinner)

  1. I was disappointed as well about the finale. Good job getting those steps in, like you said small changes can add up!

  2. Love the small changes! Some years ago I started parking further than usual from whatever building I was going to and I feel like that has helped. I've kept up with it and now park far away unless I have the kids or pets.
