Last night, Anthony made us a really yummy dinner. I healthified a recipe Anthony fell in love with on Rachel Ray over a year ago. It's an adult version of mac and cheese. There is spinach and broccoli in it. We skipped the broccoli this time around because I'm not supposed to have it yet and I added some grilled chicken to mine. This was the first time I was eating chicken breast and it was a complete success!! The spinach wasn't a problem either. We went on a nice 40 minute stroll through his neighborhood after dinner and stopped for sugar free ices on the way back. Believe it or not, the 40 minute walk was a breeze for me. I was a little tired when we got back, but felt really great! I love nights like that!!
I made an appointment for tonight to meet the owner of a new gym I want to join. I got a special sign up offer in my email yesterday and decided to not wait the extra week and go for it. I don't intend to work out tonight, just fill out all the paperwork, get measured and weighed, etc. I will begin Monday and I am really looking forward to it.
I'm not sure I ever wrote about what I eat on a daily basis, so here it goes:
Breakfast 1 hard boiled egg
Snack Banana
Lunch 4-6 oz. Baby food or macaroni salad made with lite french dressing, fat free mayo and lots of tuna
Snack 4 oz. Plain yogurt mixed with sugar free/fat free chocolate pudding to make it taste yummy or unsweetened applesauce
Dinner 4-6 oz. total Tofu pasta, lil bit of sauce & ground turkey, baby food, macaroni salad or 4 oz. burger with a slice of fat free cheese on a wheat slider bun
Snack 4 oz. pudding or sugar free ice pop
The above has pretty much been my diet for the past two weeks, while drinking lots of water. Occassionally, I will throw in some diet Iced Tea.
This week, I have substituted the egg for a bowl of Farina and the banana for a sugar free Carnation instant breakfast shake made with skim milk plus. We'll see if that makes a different in my weight loss. I have a feeling it might and shame on me for not making that change sooner.

I may try the plain yogurt with pudding mix! I buy the huge organic plain yogurt at Costco --- so cheap and usually add fruit, but this sounds like a nice alternative!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the details!
You can also add a tiny bit of vanilla to get rid of that after taste, but ive gotten used to it and dont add it in mine.
