Isn’t this painting pretty? It’s a Norman Rockwell “Spring Flowers” – lovely
Friday -
Bfast: egg salad, avacado; Lunch: salad: ingredients: mesclun mix, beets, avacado, cheese, about 5 oz tuna steak, oil & vinger; Dinner: 1 glass red wine, side salad w/ 3-4 croutons, oil & vinegar; 12 oz. steak, steamed asparagus
I had no snacks on Friday! I did have that glass of wine and a few croutons. Mick took the bread basket and put in the corner of the table by him so I wouldn’t be too tempted to eat any.
Saturday -
I weighed. The big moment of truth – I realize it’s only been a few days. Drum roll please……X – MINUS 2.5
ROCK ON.
Wonderful motivation going into a day when I was headed to a baby shower.
Saturday I did brunch thinking this would help out the situation. I made omelets and chicken meatballs. I have never been a fan of scambled eggs and the like, but I thought I’d give it another try. Guess what? I’m still not a fan. I’m sure if I like omelets, it would have been great. Mick said his was awesome.
I ate about half of my three egg omelet and I had 3 chicken meatballs dipped in mustard.
The baby shower: it was a wonderful time! We decorated onesies with iron-ons, we chatted, we watched my friend, Brooke open gifts, etc. I had ONE chocolate cupcake with peanut butter icing and a glass of water. NOTHING ELSE. I was so proud of myself!! AND the only reason I had the cupcake: the host’s husband is a great cook and baker and he made the cupcakes and the icing from scratch – man should own a bakery. In my humble opinion, they were better than any cupcake I’ve had from Polka-Dots – the best cupcake bakery in Charlotte! I savored every bite. If I close my eyes I can almost remember how much I loved the texture of the icing! I must get this recipe (for future reference only, of course).
Around 6, I had a snack of 2 pieces of hard cheese.
For dinner, we went over the sports bar (yay for no more smoking in NC restaurants!) and I had a small salad (NO croutons) with light ranch and three medium hot wings. The wings were pretty big in my opinion.
…and that’s all folks. I am very proud of my progress thus far and I know this is because I am starting to see results – no matter how small, I know that by vacation time, I will feel great about my body and enjoy wearing that bathing suit and sipping on a few dirty bananas.
Sunday’s goal:
bfast: fried eggs, chicken meatballs; lunch: tuna salad w/ devil-egg coleslaw (an Atkins recipe); dinner; Greek style chicken breast and ??…not sure what else we will have. I think I have some greens in the freezer from my parent’s garden, so I may have those and fix Mick something else.
Now:

GO COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
