well yesterday started out well enough. i just wasn't feeling breakfast and must have had a million gallons of water instead.
lunch was good. i made this big heaping salad, but didn't like what i dressed it with, so rather than force feeding it to myself just because it was good for me, i took some of the spinach leaves from it and put it on a hamburger along with some salsa and put that on one of those slim sandwich things. at this time i will have to give a shout out to all of these types of breads. i am a white bread lover, and i do mean lover. i sometimes feel i will die if i don't have a piece of soft or chewy white bread covered in butter or peanut butter. so when these thin little sandwich rounds started popping up i had my doubts. but i adore them. i can eat whole wheat or 8 grain or full o freakin nuts or whatever and i really like them! they are great with burger!
ok so that was lunch.
then my youngest decided to have a head butting fight with a door and mayhem insued. we took her to the hospital where she was quite the trooper and she ended up with only one stitch, but if you are a momma or a daddy and reading this, you know that it probably hurt me much worse then it hurt her.
so we hadn't eaten dinner yet and we promised her cake for being a good girl. my husband kept suggesting horrible resturants to go to, but i really wanted a hot dog so we stopped at one of those fresh fruit market type places and got our shopping on. never shop hungry, or depressed, but somehow i think we did ok. yes we filled our carts with everything we saw, but we planned it not for that night but for other meals as well. something i have never tried to do before, but dammit it worked.
so my dinner ended up a little something like this: mixed salad with gorgonzola and balsamic vinaigrette, a chicken hotdog with mustard on a scooped out bun (thank you ms frankel) satisfied my need for white bread but minus alllll of the guilt. then some sushi, yes i had hotdogs salad and sushi..totally makes sense right?
finished it all off with a berry mousse with amazing fresh berries on top. i count that as my sweet snack for the day. i did clean my plate, my bad, but considering what i usually eat after trauma like watching your 2 year old daughters head bleed like something out of lord of the flies, i did freaking awesome!
I"m curious as to what your book says about exercise. Does she cover it at all or haven't you gotten to that part yet?
ReplyDeleteI love those sandwich thins!! I like them better toasted though. The other day I used a wrap instead of a bun for a turkey brat/sausage thingy and it was pretty tasty! Sort of fell of the diet wagon this weekend. I refuse to worry about what I'm eating and drinking at a function like a class reunion and God only knows how many points I consumed in beer at the beer tent. LOL But I'm not beating myself up about it. I figure I need to have some french fries or whatever now and again as long as I eat healthy the majority of the time!
ReplyDeleteGive Evie a kiss for me!
she has barely touched on exercise yet. i think this book is more about the eating of it all. i know she just came out with an exercise dvd though
ReplyDeleteI am finding that i love going to the y to work out! thought i would hate it! the computer spits out my workout and off i go. and yes, i do curse those tiny little bitches going to town on the treadmill or stepper! ;)
