Picture Food Log Experiment & DIY Father's Day Gift

First, and most importantly, don't forget to link-up with us on Monday for another round of Motivation Monday! It's a great way to start the week off and get back into the swing of things!

Second, I have been horrible about tracking my food the past few days. I was completely out of control with my eating yesterday.Work has been crazy resulting in last minute "lunch at my desk" with limited options. Stress eating. Unexpected changes in our evening schedules, resulting in no workout last night. (I get slightly cranky when I miss a workout completely) Limited sleep and just over all challenges in day to day life that I haven't been handling as well as I'd like.

Many of these things are out of my control, but I can control what I'm eating. I just need to get a handle on it again.  So, all that being said, I decided to start a little experiment. I'm going to take a picture of everything, and I do mean everything that goes into my mouth. Maybe knowing that I'm going to have to take a picture and share it with everyone will help knock some sense into me. Be prepared for obnoxious food pictures... they are coming. I'll be sharing on my IG and here on the blog. Help hold me accountable, please! I'm going to need it.

Speaking of mindless eating, did you all  know they make Cookies N' Cream kisses!? They are amazing absolutely evil! I highly recommend never buying them, unless you're perfectly okay with eating the entire bag.

I'd be lying if I told you I only ate 2 yesterday. Good thing I'm not starting my picture logs 'til today!

Third, I didn't go out and just buy these for the heck of it. (Trying to justify my naughty eating here.) On Wednesday evenings, Wyatt gets to spend some one-on-one time with his dad. So, we held off and did Father's Day on Wednesday. Here's the Father's Day gift:

I got the idea from My Sister's Suitcase. I'm definitely not that creative on my own. I also added a gift certificate to his favorite lunch place and attached it to the lid. Ta-da! Quick and easy. 

As for the weekend, I will be getting some runs in and making up my missed workout. I also need to get more organized with my food planning so I have fallback options when things come up unexpectedly. 

Happy Friday!
