Breakfast - Leftover vegetable/beef hash and two pieces of toast
Snack - Half of a 130 calorie package of Pistachio Nuts
Lunch - Egg Salad Sandwich w/10 chips and a caffein-free Diet Coke
Snack - Handfull of Cheese Nips
Dinner - 2 pieces of pork BBQ Jerky and a 160 calorie cheese sandwich
The only reason I know the calorie count of the nuts is because I looked at the package and the Cheese Sandwich is something I eat a lot of, so I know the calorie count by heart.
One thing I have realized is that I have got to get the sugar out from everywhere I find it. The granola bars are gone. I've given them away to people at work who looked hungry. I'll use Stevia to sweeten tea and such, but no other sweetener, if I can avoid it. I think it's better for me that way. Fruit tastes miles sweeter with the sugar out of my system. Also, I can tell I'm not as hungry as it has been.
I've been working on my grocery list for the week. A few things that I will be purchasing regularly are:
Zucchini Squash
Yellow Squash
Spaghetti Squash
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Red Peppers
Grape Tomatoes
I have a thing for squash at the moment. I also am enjoying a combination of vegetables and lean meat, chicken or fish cooked together like a 'hash'. It probably doesn't sound appetizing, but really it's great! Easy to prepare and tastes delicious. My latest combination was onions, celery and cauliflower, cooked with extra lean ground been. Then add a small amount of of low-fat cheese to melt and hold things together and add a little zip to the taste. I sprinkled it with a garlic herb mix and a little salt and pepper. Delicious. I'm a big fan of one-pot meals. I make a mean skillet pasta dish, but pasta is not a favorite of mine. If I'm having spaghetti, it will probably be squash!
I'm looking forward to the weekend and yes, I'll have my cheat meal on Sunday evening. Until Day 8, sleep well, my Sweeties!!
