Last night I totally ate more after I posted! I hand a few handfuls of my husbands butter popcorn and a cup of cinnamon chex cereal. I stayed up way later than usual, time change is always tricky. I have found the later I stay up the more I eat. Growing up our nightly snack seemed to always be a bowl of cereal, my favorite then was Lucky Charms. I haven't bought those in about 13 years but boy they sound good to me just typing the name. Cereal is dangerous and sneaking, if I go up in weight it is most likely because I've been having a nightly snack of it before bed.
This morning I had breakfast with a good friend and our two toddlers and then went for a walk around town. It was a great way to start the day! Breakfast: Coffee sweet and yummy, a whole grain/seedy bread with egg and cheese.
I was feeling a little guilty about the big bread at breakfast so I had a small lunch. Lunch: Spinach topped with guacamole and tomatoes.
Snacks: Strawberries, an orange, and 3 gram crackers (not in pic)
Dinner was very satisfying! I love meatball subs. They are super easy to make and so delicious. My simple Meatball recipe: Turkey meat, bread crumbs, an egg, mixed in a bowl with oregano, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. I roll them in small balls and broil for 5 minutes, turn them and take out them out in another 5 minutes. I put them in our favorite spaghetti sauce and heat it up. I usually toast bread with w butter/garlic mixture and put the meatballs on top and DONE! We had a big salad tonight. My husband asked if the salad was about to go bad. I said no, why? He said because you gave us so much of it! I realized I was trying to make it bigger on my plate than the bread...trying to keep to the goal of less carb portions this week. Ha...I guess I should just eat less carb instead of more of everything else!
Dinner: Meatball sub, topped with cheese, and a salad topped with light honey mustard dressing.
