Lunch: 1 pc leftover veal from last night along with leftover cucumber salad. I bottle crystal lite. Coffee (at home) with a little cream and sweetner.
Supper: Chicken, green pepper, onion, and mushroom in a light cream sauce with 1/4 cup of whole wheat pasta and some squash (squash was delicious!). 1/2 c of cucumber salad.
(Recipe for squash: Cut butternut squash in half. Remove seeds and rinse. Place cut side down in a shallow pan of water. Place in over for approximately 30 mins @ 375 degrees. Remove squash from oven. Drain water and flip sqaush over. Fill each squash half with one tsp of butter/margarine, 1 tsp of brown sugar, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Return to oven for 15-20 mins. (Times are approximate). Enjoy!)
Dessert: Strawberries with 2 tsp of raw sugar and a little cream.
Not a bad day overall. I skipped the double cream coffees all day at Tim's, the mid afternoon chocolate craving, and the wine at dinner. I didn't find myself starving at any point during the day, though I did find myself constantly thinking about food and reminding myself that whatever I ate I had to blog about later.
I think my biggest challenge today will be when Amo comes home from soccer later on tonight. He won't eat before he plays, so he makes up for it when he comes home. Watching him eat at my most difficult time of day may be challenging, but I am prepared and have asked him to bring me a tea home that I can sip away on while he chows down.
All in all, pretty successful day... Here's to tomorrow!
TODAY'S ACCOMPLISHMENT:
I took Nevaeh out for ice cream today and did not order anything at all! I also skipped my usual 2-3 Timmies coffees today and my glass of wine with dinner. Yay!
EXERCISE:
Took Nevaeh around 2 blocks on her bike while I walked followed by one hour of gardening (digging up weeds, trimming hedges, etc).
