Question of the day: Did Traci learn her lesson on Day 2?
Answer: Nope...
This is the first day I've been home all day since the start of the project -- you'd think that eating properly would be easy since this is where the food is -- apparently not. I should know better -- but noooooooo. I've been so busy trying to get through chores and shopping and kid's homework that I didn't eat breakfast until almost noon, lunch at nearly 4:00 and no snacks in between. And since the coffee was already made, I didn't start the day off with the hot water/lemon juice drink. So now I'm hungry. Good job, dummy...
I did get some menu planning done for next week, though -- made a batch of the chicken soup which really more resembles a stew than soup. There's some leftover chicken, so I'll be having that on my salads and in lettuce wraps (I'm really excited about those!). It's amazing how far a package of chicken breasts will go -- the family will even be able to have chicken in their spaghetti sauce sometime this week. Cooked up another batch of turkey chili and now I have dinners for the whole week; bought some low-fat Italian dressing so I can try the marinated vegetables, too.
Today's menu:
Breakfast -- 6 oz strawberry yogurt with 6 large strawberries diced up and mixed in, cup of green tea
Lunch -- green salad with chicken breast, tomatoes, mushrooms, cucumber, red pepper, onion, olive oil/balsamic vinegar dressing
Dinner -- Dr. Mike's chicken soup, small green salad, green tea
Weigh-in #2 is tomorrow morning! I'm hoping for another one or two pounds gone -- something is happening because my jeans are waaaaaay more comfortable than they have been in a long time...
