Still not getting enough sleep, and I'm feeling it!  I tried to make my Frosty again, but Hubby got milk that wasn't safe for me.  So I ate Roast-less Pot Roast for a snack instead!  :)  Determined to get to bed earlier tonight (like right now!).  :)


Breakfast: Potato Patties

Lunch:  Creamed Corn, GF English Muffin with Marinated Tomato Salad

Dinner: Clean out the Fridge and Pantry Dinner,

Roasted Veggies in Gravy

Not a good food day!  I'm out of salad fixings with no time to go get more.  Hubby working late, kids way out of control = me feeling stressed.  Planned on having a Frosty after kids went to bed, only to discover that my rice milk had gone bad.  Frustrated and tired, I should have gone to bed.  Instead, I had a huge midnight snack.  Not happy about eating so much, but very happy that I ate foods that were safe for me, and that I wrote it all down, because I sure didn't want to!  :)

I'm also freaking out a little bit about this diet competition coming to an end.  Self-sabotage, maybe?


Breakfast: Potato Pancakes with Applesauce and Sour Cream

Lunch: Creamed Corn, Tofu Eggless Salad

Dinner: Tomato Soup with Croutons

Applesauce, Potato Pancake with Sour Cream, Mexican Mac n Cheeze with Spinach, Corn, Scallions

Stressful day.  Had an uncomfortable school meeting, followed by a surprise visit from relatives and a forgotten therapist at-home appointment, so I didn't get to swim.  Was very happy to discover Ezekiel Brown Rice English Muffins, but certainly didn't need to eat two of them today.  I think I should just call it a day and go to bed!

Thankful that I didn't eat pizza and cake for dinner like the people around me did!  Even with the stress, I was happy that I ate relatively well!


Breakfast:  Cucumber Salad, GF English Muffin

Lunch: Mexican Mac n Cheeze with baby spinach, corn, tomatoes, and scallions

Dinner: Tofu Eggless Salad, Salad: lettuce, tomato, carrots, cucumbers, scallions, Mayo, GF English Muffin

I really, really enjoyed my food today, which makes me feel good physically and emotionally!  I'm thrilled with some progress I've made with my health, but also a little discouraged by how tired and achy I've been.  Looking ahead and not giving up hope!  I did some good breathing and visualization exercises today that were very helpful. 

I absolutely loved the Mexican Mac n Cheeze with the added veggies.  Will be making that one again for sure!


Breakfast: Watermelon

Lunch: Brown rice, broccoli, Mushroom Gravy

Dinner: Mexican Mac n Cheeze with baby spinach, corn, tomatoes, and scallions.  Cucumber Salad.  Frozen Cacao.

Felt kind of off today, probably because I've crept back into the habit of staying up too late.  Was very hungry and kind of on edge today.  Decided to just go with the feelings.  In the past, I would have eaten junk food for sure.

Went to a barbecue today.  Took Black Bean and Corn Summer Salad, Creamy Macaroni Salad, Spinach Artichoke Dip, Crispy Corn Tortilla Chips, and Corn on the Cob.  I had more than enough food, and was not even tempted by all of the appetizers, grilled food, pies, and ice cream!  I love my food!
