Okay, for dinner I am very pleased with myself - i had shredded roast beef with asparagus and Greek yogurt with garlic and basil spices.

Jilly, good for you for eating a grown-up dinner! So, the Greek yogurt--never had it--what's it like? Did you add the spices or did it come that way? Eat it cold like pudding or what?

And, Kristen & her husband took me out for sushi for dinner. Yum-o!

lunch - tuna with light mayo and celery sandwhich on toasted jewish rye bread (thin sliced.. and I mean THIN), water, water, water, and a handful of pretzels.

dinner - sliced grilled ribeye on whole wheat tortillas, quacamole (home-made - avacados, lime juice, red onion, and grape tomatoes), and spring mix greens with reduced fat low card ranch dressing, cucumber, and radishes. I did cheat and have a can of soda, but I haven't had any caffeine laden soda since our last chat.. so I don't feel "too" guilty. water.

snack - gluten free, low carb "butter bar". Thats a low card gluten free brownie topped with "butter fudge" layer thats not really fudge but something similar made with butter, germented rice syrup and something else to make it like fudge. I got them from my health food store owner (works in same building my spa is in) who made them at home. they don't raise your insulin levels and don't give you sugar rushes since they aren't made with sugar.

Thank you Deb. Working on having a real dinner is about all i can work on food-wise right now. Even if the beef and asparagus was from cans, it's still better than having just cheese, nuts and olives or a food bar for dinner.

The greek yogurt is served cold like normal yogurt but tastes lie a very mild cheese or thick cream. It's the only full-fat yogurt i can find (ie - no added sugar like they put in low fat or non-fat yogurt).

I just sprinkled basil and garlic with pepper on top.

Today's breakfast - oatmeal with parmesan cheese and splenda. Decaf coffee as usual.

yesterday for breakfast i added eggs, cheese, salsa and red cabbage to my leftover beef and asparagus. With another dollop of greek yogurt. Yay - i had veggies and eggs! Real food!

For dinner i had a banana with low carb pudding. I had to eat up the banana - it was on it's last leg.

As long as i have one real meal a day - with veggies - i will be thrilled. It's more than i usually do.

I had two actual meals yesterday!

Breakfast was leftover egg/beef/veggie thing from last night's dinner.

Dinner was canned chicken mashed with mayo, with red cabbage, salsa and cream cheese. Black olives and some hard parm on the side.

Go me! As long as I have leftovers I can have at least one real meal.

My grandson brought home Chinese food, so i had egg rolls, chicken wings, and noodles i just love Chinese food

Breakfast yesterday was fiber cereal with soy milk, splenda and cranberries and parmesan sprinkled in.

Dinner was veggies and almonds and all beef franks with mustard, mayo and ketchup with spices.

Breakfast today was a Fiber One bar with a hunk of parm and some black olives.

Dinner will probably be the leftovers of my veggies and franks.

I just wanted to comment that it's fun to put off food shopping and make a game of trying to eat up the food in the pantry/freezer.

It's too easy to just keep eating the same stuff each day (low carb torts with butter - yum!), but if i am out of them, i am forced to be more creative. (ie - eat those franks that i got months ago and never opened).

breakfast today - i found some low carb bluberry yogurt, and had pumpkin seeds and some wheat tortillas with flax seed butter for breakfast.

Dinner will be salad with chicken.
