Have you ever tried warm lemon tea in the morning? I read recently that it has a lot of health benefits; for example it flushes out toxins. So I decided to make a mug today. It certainly did its job. I think I peed every hour. I seriously was afraid to drink much water after the third hour! Going to the bathroom with a toddler at your side is hard enough three times a day. But having to wrangle a little monkey three times that; from pulling the toilet paper, running water in the sink, turning out the light, or deciding to leave and head down two flights of stairs is a serious challenge and exhausting! I think I will keep my warm lemon water drinking for the weekends when I can tag team with my husband.
I finally finished off the limp old spinach in the fridge. Spinach is my go-to green. Each day I think there is probably a 90% chance that it will end up on my table in one of our meals.
Breakfast: My usual coffee, two poached eggs and a side of sauteed spinach
I got pretty creative with lunch today. I think I might even try this one again. It was pretty filling. I am still having the stomach growls, so I was hoping it would do just that.
Lunch: Whole wheat tortilla, with leftover lintels and a tomato, weight watchers shredded cheese, topped with salsa
Afternoon Snacks: Pretzels with hummus and a cheese stick
Dinner was pretty good. At Christmas I bought one of those huge bags of potatoes for $3. What was I thinking! And seriously...what percentage did a frarmer get off that profit! It's taking us forever to get through them. I think they may still be around for Valentines! I've been having to be creative because my two boys don't like mashed potatoes. However, they will eat them this way; I steam them first and then put them with garlic and hot olive oil in a pan and make them a little crispy.
Dinner: Kiebasa turkey sausage, potatoes, and sauteed kale.
Water: I wanted to get a lot of water in-take but seriously...I didn't want to have to pee more after the lemon water! I drank about 20oz.
After dinner snack: Reduced fat Wheat Thins (about 40!)
I seriously think it is night snacking that keeps my weight where it is or makes it go up. I really just need to grab an apple instead of a carb.
