Big Fruit and Meatballs??...i swear this is a PG blog

Before hopping in the car I grabbed a GIANT banana and some almonds with dark chocolate chips yumm. I have a thing for really big fruit...for some reason the bigger the better and that goes for apples too.The little tiny dancers were so cute today! It was my first day taking over a pre-dance class of 2-5 year olds and I was sooo worried that the girls were going to be scared of me, but they did so well and loved every bit of it! By the time I got home I was STARVING...luckily my dad made his famous meatballs so I boiled up some whole wheat pasta and made a delicious salad with lettuce, tomatoes, cukes, carrots, radishes, sweet peas and cellery.

Since the topic of the day on some of my favorite blogs is meal schedules, this would be a great time to share mine. I have struggled with this topic for a while because I am so busy AND I also have to make sure that I'm not too full to dance or run at any point during the day. Therefore I have learned that my body does better on smaller meals with snacks in between. Usually I eat about every 3-4 hours depending on my hunger level. I also have a big problem with my hunger affecting my mood...as many of my loved ones know...if I don't eat every few hours MONSTER KATIE comes out and that is BAD news for anyone around. So...I have learned to keep healthy snacks with me basically at all times. Depending on my schedule this is how my meals work:

Breakfast @ 8 AM 400-500 cal
Snack @ 10 AM 100-200 cal
Lunch @ 12 PM 500-600 cal
Snack @ 3 PM 100-200 cal
Dinner @ 5 or 6 PM 400-600 cal
Snack @ 9 PM 200-300 cal
I actually try to keep each meal kind of equal in calories (snacks are smaller of course) because it helps my blood sugar stay level throughout the day and decreases monster-like symptoms mwahaha. Anyways I'm out for now...tune in later for snack attack reports :) oh and my opinions on SYTYCD!
