Week 3 - Day 2

My food:

Breakfast - out to eat with my guy, fried potatoes with spinach, broccoli, mushrooms; 1 slice ww toast with jelly, decaf coffee with flavored creamer

Lunch - Breakfast salad

Snack - trail mix (dried fruit and nuts and seeds) and about 4 bbq potato chips (boy, are those hard to resist!)

Dinner - bowl of Broc-n-shrooms covered with mushroom gravy; decaf coffee and frozen cherries dusted with cocao powder for dessert

My Thoughts:

I feel good about my day. It wasn't perfect and I did cave with those few chips. BUT, it was a FEW chips instead of half a bag or so like I have been doing while out and about with my guys. I was really happy with myself. 

Dinner was filling and I was so happy that I got my lazy self to just cook up some easy food. A bag of broccoli from the freezer with some mushrooms, onion and garlic powder and I have a great meal.  Bonus was the leftover mushroom gravy in the fridge that I reheated for a topping.  A bowl of healthy goodness stepped up to Comfort Food just like that. 

 

I feel like I've got some good momentum going. My step is lighter, I'm getting better sleep, my energy I increasing.  I'm hopeful this continues. The fog of battling illness, sleep deprivation, and the high stress have been getting the better of me.  The stress is still lingering but the others things seem to be lifting a bit. 

I'm hopeful for the days ahead.

Oh! I finally tried this little treat that I learned about from my friends at Love Chard (check out their website and fb page, great, encouraging folks. :) 

Grapefruit wedges dusted with cinnamon.  It's good! I never thought to cut my grapefruit like this and I never dreamed to sprinkle with cinnamon.  What a great taste.  I love finding something new to enjoy. :)
