I was a little under-the-weather today; however, I had to eat. My meal consisted of...



...oatmeal (pre-cooked image) and applesauce. Lunch was a turkey sandwich and a salad. Dinner consisted of mardi gras chicken from Publix and Green Giant mixed veggies (edamame, black beans, and carrots combo). I was able to eat dinner before 5:30, which will allow me to get to bed before 10 p.m. Yea for me!

...and the menu for today included...



to-go Cheerios and Soy milk...I was running a little late. For lunch, I had the other two slices of Amy's veggie pizza and mixed veggies from the "jolly" Green Giant. The vegetables included edamame, carrots, and black beans. Since this day was my sister in-law's birthday, we had a quick dinner at Piccadilly's family-style restaurant. My menu was cabbage, corn, two hush puppies, broccoli casserole and water. Passing up the sweet tea was HARD, but I did it!

This was my meal on Tuesday. It consisted of...

My breakfast consisted of my oatmeal blend(honey, water, soy milk), veggie sausage patty, mixed fruit, soy milk and water (not photographed). My early lunch (before 10:30), included mattar tofu from Amy's kitchen with water. Snack was peanut butter, fruit, soy milk and a Nature Valley Roasted Almond bar. My new favorite roasted veggie (no cheese) pizza from Amy's kitchen was a delicious dinner. I had 1/2 of the pizza, which was about 270 calories (plus the small amount of shaved Parmesan that I added.) I believe that the meals was extremely filling without over-stuffing my stomach.

OK...I can do this! Recently, I went to see a nutritionist, Chandra Carty, because I am overweight. She suggested that I take pictures of myself, my food and keep a diary of all that I eat. WOW...as an emerging photographer, that is right up my alley (smile).



So, here goes everything... For breakfast, I had instant oatmeal (with a tsp. of honey and 1/8 c. of soy milk, 1/4 c. water), along with three strawberries. For dinner, I had a lean cuisine Sesame Chicken meal with green peas...which was delicious. For dinner, I had half of a turkey sandwich with two thinly sliced pieces of Boar's Head Honey Maple-Glazed turkey and a salad with organic sundried tomato dressing and shaved Parmesan cheese.

I don't really thing that this is even close to my daily allowance of 1,400 calories; however, we will see.
