Day 1 of 7

Hi friends,
Hope you are having a great Sunday of football and family. I am exhausted today after and epic day of all things Daughter yesterday. But, she had a great day, great time at the dance and I am reminded how lucky I am to have a Daughter with good friends and their parents. I cannot stress enough how important it is to at least meet your kids friends parents.

FYI: I saw some super slutty outfits going into the dance last night. Wow. I can only imagine what Prom will be like. Yick.

Ok, so here are the numbers for today:
Weighed in at 151
Breakfast: 2 cups coffee, 1 egg, 1 piece wheat toast
Lunch: 3 slices of low sodium turkey (this is not an adequate lunch but I was in between stops)
Snack: some celery
Dinner: 3oz cooked ground chicken (made it like a hamburger)
2 servings garden veggie frittata: this is my favorite way to eat eggs (though I use more whites than the actual egg since I am married to Captain Cholesterol). Throw in some eggs, whites, milk, any veggies you can nuke or saute, some cheese of choice and bake at 350 for 35 minutes. I put spinach, mushrooms and onions in mine tonight. And here is the Twilight Zone moment of the day: the BOYS even ate it and liked it. What the hell????? It was green as could be and they were still all in. Maybe I didn't feed them lunch???
1 6oz glass of wine (ok, maybe it was more like 8 oz..)

919 cals, 38 carbs, 38 g fat, 80 g protein
I also did 22 mins on the elliptical. I did my share of walking thru grocery stores but I won't count that.

Aldi has great ground chicken and turkey at really spectacular prices. I make patties and bake them to keep them moist. Easy to eat for breakfast or lunch and very satisfying.

The downside to the hours I put into food prep today is this:

Celery and lettuce draining in the dish drainer, dishes piled high because if you can see, they dishwasher just finished it's cycle and needs emptied. It will all be cleaned by bed time, I cannot stand a Monday morning with a dirty kitchen.

I am hopeful that all my planning will pay off this week like it has done in the past. Though I am really tired, I don't feel so mean as I usually do.

Thanks for reading and I hope we all have a great start to the week. Can you believe next Monday is Oct 1st? That means less than a month that my "baby" turns 9. Crap. But if I can live thru false eyelashes and sparkly heels, I think I can get thru anything.
