Very good day, today. I got all my exercise bouts in and stuck to my menus. I played for a funeral at 10:00, then went back to work and had a cooking lab in the afternoon where we made mashed potato candy. I didn’t try any, but I brought some home for Dad and he said they were very good!
This was the menu today. Another tasty day:
Breakfast: oatmeal with molasses; V8, soy milk
Snack: banana
Lunch: romaine with dressing and dry roasted edamame; egg and 2 egg whites, fried in olive oil, canned peaches (a lot like yesterday, I know..)
Snack: bread with almond butter; orange fizzle
Supper: chili over just a little mashed potatoes; cauliflower; bread; diet ginger ale (I substituted the potatoes for the soy milk I was supposed to have – I wasn’t going to have potatoes, since I was having home-made bread, but they looked so good… and they were.)
My snack tonight is oatmeal again. I have to choose between banana bread, cinnamon, and maple and brown sugar. Hmmmm….
It helps me to write this report at the end of the day. It confirms my resolve to have a good evening. So, if you get bored with them, skip them. I won’t sneak anything really important at the end!
You’re doing really well!
Yes, I put straight molasses, but it only takes a regular eating teaspoon sort of level to make it taste good, but not overpowering.
Sorry, I put Erica’s reply in the wrong place. I wanted to reply to you: thank you for the encouragement. I did take your advice the other day and throw out the sweets and it really helped not having them to “cheat” with. I think it also said to myself that I am serious about this.
Do you put straight molasses in your oatmeal? How much?
See reply above. It went in the wrong place. Couldn’t have been something I did!!
