I am definitely in that Friday state of mind today! I’m ready for the weekend to begin and all of my healthy eating habits have gone out the window. What’s up with that?! Friday rolls around and all I want to do is eat junk food!
Snack
Mid-morning, I craved something sweet. I would have killed for a freshly baked oatmeal raisin cookie! But, instead, I dug into my stash of Galaxy Granola and mixed it with some vanilla hemp milk.
This yummy snack definitely hit the spot, but two bowls and nearly 450 calories later, I knew that my special relationship with granola needed to end for the day. 😕
Lunch
Because I indulged in granola, I decided to keep lunch on the light side this afternoon. I had a Siggi’s blueberry yogurt and an apple.
And, a big bag of carrot sticks.
I also munched on a chocolate chip cookie that someone at NuVal baked. I just couldn’t resist, especially with it being Cookie Friday at all! 😉
I’m heading to Starbucks after work to bust out my Health post for the week, so I’ll probably grab a snack there, too. I have plans for a late dinner tonight, so I’m sure that I’ll need a little something to hold me over.
