Here we go.

I said I would put a photo up and I do have a current one.  I normally avoid cameras, but I have a pic take about 2 weeks ago.  We are having a home built for us and Chris took a pick of me in it as it was going up.  So, here is me at 230 pounds.

I took my mom to buy groceries this morning.  Always, afterward she has to go thru McDonald's drive up to buy a Frappucino.  I have gotten into a bad habit of getting one right along with her or sometimes a small shake.  Today I opted for an iced coffee.  While it still has calories from the sweetener, it is half the calories.  She also wanted McD's for breakfast.  I'm really not a fan of their food really.  When I get breakfast there it's usually their oatmeal with no sugar and a poached egg and this is what I ate this morning.

For lunch, had a turkey sandwich on a nutty bread that I like with some mayo.  I bought some broccoli salad at the deli so had a little bit of that.  I was really hungry at lunchtime.  I did not snack all morning after breakfast.  Was not hungry so instead of mindlessly eating, I tried to follow my hunger ques and did not have any.  But about 11:30 am I was pretty hungry.  

I did do some mindless eating later.  I grabbed a cookie without thinking and later had a Hostess cupcake with milk. I also grabbed about 6 chocolate covered peanuts.   Whenever I do mindless eating it's usually something sweet and processed.   

The remainder of the day was OK.  It's always a tad stressful right now since I'm living with mom while my house is being built.  For evening meal I had put a hamburger stew with potatoes, carrots, peas, onions, tomato soup.  It was pretty good and I had a normal sized bowl with a small roll.  I will probably have something for a snack later.
