Makin' Friends With Food on Monday!

I love Makin' Friends Monday on the blog, All the Weigh. Kenz makes her blog so accessible and friendly; I think that we who follow her think we are in her circle of friends and can picture her going out in the evening and eating a "Dirty" cupcake.

As for this Monday, I had a totally successful day with food. I had a breakfast of one slice of Alvarado Street Bakery flax bread (See my links for how to order) and a tsp. of natural, no salt peanut butter. I ate a hard boiled egg and had my coffee allowance with a splash of skim milk. I drank lots of water too.

For lunch, which was horribly rushed, I had another piece of Flax toast and almonds. I also ate 2 hard boiled eggs. I know -- too many eggs -- but I had NO hunger and got through a busy day with meetings back to back and some tensions in the office because everyone is really tired! Guess who wasn't tired? Mid-afternoon I ate some pistachios without salt. Did you know that they are a fruit and lower in calories than nuts? They are rich in vitamins and minerals. For dinner I had thin cut lemon pork chops and a salad. It was a perfect calorie day. What worked for me about the day was that everything was low glycemic and I had no hunger -- 2nd day in a row. Well, duh -- I could have gotten back to a low glycemic and no sugar diet a long time ago. I am not nearly as tired tonight; the day didn't throw me and I had a nice evening with my kids. So what was I waiting for anyway?

I like the idea of making new blog-friends and sharing experiences. I have gotten so much inspiration from All the Weigh, Daily Diary of a Winning Loser, and 266 withthe wonderful anniversary video and the list of foods everyday no matter what --an honest confrontation on a daily basis. I love another blog that features low glycemic diet tips; I'll hunt for the link for my next blog and share it!

I am about to finish cleaning up my kitchen. Guess what? I fixed food for tomorrow to take the to office -- grilled vegetables and more of the lemon pork chops. I'll skip the nuts tomorrow. I also have a bag of things packed to take to work that will keep me humming along. I did some walking this evening. Everyone was cherry and no one age any junk. My little one was not hyper today and was so pleasant the entire evening. A good day! Hurrah! The dessert was a lovely comment from another mother who is rushed who reminded me to take care of myself. Happy Monday to everyone!
