Daily Post 10/23 and 10/24

What is your eating schedule like and do you SNACK through the day?

I'm more than two years out, but my weekday routine has changed very little...   weekends are a whole different story!

Every weekday, I drink a bottle of water on the way to work, then once there, drink two cups (or glasses) of decaf coffee (or iced) with SF Vanilla creamer.  Then I make breakfast.  After 1-1/2 hours or so, I drink about 32 oz of SF fruit punch or grape drink, then I warm up lunch.  About 1-1/2 hours later, I drink another 32 oz of SF "kool-aid", then before I leave work, I usually snack on nuts or something similar.  On the way home from work, I drink another bottle of water, usually flavored with SF drink mix, and when I get home, I make dinner.  A couple of hours later, I'll drink a bottle of water, then I usually have a snack - banana and peanut butter is my favorite. 

Weekends are very unstructured, by comparison.  I try to drink as often as I think about it, but rarely do I keep track of how much or how often I drink.  Many times, I don't eat breakfast at all, and by the time lunch rolls around, I'm getting pretty hungry...   I wish I could carry my routine over, but I've just fallen into this "non-routine" on weekends.   

I do best in general when I have a routine but currently my eating is not scheduled. I know what I'm going to eat but not when. I'm not a person who gets burnt out on my diet. I have the same thing for breakfast, lunch and snack everyday. Dinner however is with the family and some version of what they are eating.

On weekends, without the routine of work, I find myself grazing a lot.  But on workdays, I'm really pretty much on a routine.  I eat different foods now than I did a year ago, but pretty much the same routine....water before leaving the house, breakfast at work, water, then lunch, then water, then snack, then water, then home for dinner, then water, then evening snack, then water, then bed.

no snacking...this was yesterday.  Some days I have egg salad, chicken salad or ham salad for lunch.
