Well...another day has come and the diet or should I say change of life is still going on. Working hard at still trying to figure out menu's of things that we like to eat, things that will be filling for not only Robert but me as well.
My treat of choice that seems to be getting me through right now are breath mints. I know...strange huh. But something about when I feel like I "really" want something to eat, I pop one of those mints in my mouth and then when they are withering away I crunch it up. It makes my mouth minty fresh and it keeps me from wanting to at something. So far that has helped!!!
We went today mom and I to do some errands, bought me some more protein bars. I started eating the Slim Fast bars, but found them terribly sweet. Weird huh...Tried the Luna bars which seem good. I bought some Atkins bars today, will see how I like those. Also bought the Market Pantry (Target Brand) Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bar today and once my "Wendy's Fiasco" happened, I was able to enjoy it. I will let you know at a later time about the Atkins Bars.
Been trying to have a Protein Shake in the morning, sometimes a Protein Bar for lunch and then a sensible meal for dinner. Dinner is mostly Protein (Chicken or Pork), veggies, salads. Staying totally away from Rice, Pasta and Potatos. No Bread either although today I did find some Low Carb Toritilla's that looked really good and were less than 10g per wrap. So I will see how we do with that.
Well....after our trip to the grocery store, we wanted lunch because it was 2 pm We had decided to go to Wendy's because we wanted to take something home. Our normal trip to the Mexican Rest. is just not possible. WAY TOO MANY CARBS!!!!!
So off to Wendy's we went. Mother wanted a Baked Potato and Chili. My choice was a Large Chili and a garden salad. Well....got home got everything in the house and got my chili and salad all ready to eat and BAM....I hit my hand and the chili went ALL OVER THE KITCHEN FLOOR. I was so upset. I truly wanted to cry because I was really hungry and I wanted to eat so badly and I had really thought a lot about that darn chili. Oh well....the salad was good, I added a boiled egg to that plain old salad..lol to give me some protein. Then I ate that Peanut Butter Protein Bar. I was so upset about not getting to eat my chili...guess that Chili will have to wait another day.
Funny thing....as mother was eating her Chili she started to say, This Chili is so good. But stopped herself as I said to her " That's not nice Marka" which is one of Marli Claire's famous lines.
Looking forward to the weekend. Going to go look at a stationary bike for us to ride, Kmart, Academy Sports and also Play it again sports. Also will find us somewhere to go and have a good meal (Low Carb, Low Calorie) and got to work on the jewelry for Relay for Life.
So busy weekend with my sweetheart but looking forward to it. Will be hard to decide what we are going to eat....lol like I said, I still have to "think" way too much about what we are going to eat, but at least I am getting it into my brain, NO BREAD, NO PASTA, NO RICE
Robert should be coming home soon, its after 5 now, I am making Chicken Stir Fry with Veggies and Spaghetti Squash tonight for supper. Looking forward to something good to eat...its almost time for a snack too.
Off to get busy :-) Happy Friday!!!!
