Monday

Today I was determined to get back with the program.  I stuck with my food plan, but instead of doing a morning snack of fruit and yogurt, I decided to have a Slim-Fast High Protein shake at 11 a.m.  This sort of served as both snack and lunch.  I’d figured that I’d have soup for a really late lunch, but as the hours rolled by, I wasn’t really that hungry, so I decided to count the shake as my lunch. 

When 4:00 hit, though, I was suddenly famished.  I decided to have a very early dinner.  I steamed some broccoli and threw a Lean Cuisine in the microwave.  Now it’s evening, and I’d adore a snack.  Once I figure out my total calorie consumption today, I’ll see what I have left in my “calorie budget.”

Today’s menu:

Cereal combo (220); milk (90); Slim-Fast High Protein (190); broccoli (100); Lean Cuisine (290); milk (90); prunes (200).

Total:  1,080.

That means I can have a couple of wedges of Laughing Cow cheese and some Wassa bread.  Hmm.
