February 7th Food Diary

I did pretty well today on food. I started out with a bowl of Special K with Red Berries. I had a glass of V* strawberry banana juice and a cup of coffee with it. Then I forgot my work coffee on the counter on my way out the door. It was a little rough without my usual caffeinated boost in the morning but I made it.

At break one of my friends brought some Chex Mix his wife had made over the weekend. I had a couple of hand hulls and a bottle of water.

At lunch I had a microwave dinner, enchilada bake, a yogurt and an orange.

I did not finish my eight cups of water for the day but i will try to do better tomorrow.

For supper we had whole wheat pasta with Alfredo sauce, a lettuce salad with Dorothy Lynch dressing and a little cheese and two bread sticks. I also had two glasses of 1% chocolate milk with my meal. I was proud of myself and my wife because we diversified out dinner. Instead of just having pasta we made a little salad and bread sticks to go with it making it a better balanced dinner, we hope. It also kept me eating only one bowl of pasta which is a new goal of mine when eating. If I can keep myself to a one plate policy that will hopefully help with my over eating at supper. Also eating a well balanced supper should help me with eating less after supper, like last night when I had didn’t feel the need for an evening snack.
