Today is Friday, my mom wanted to go out for breakfast so her and I shared a three egg ham and cheese omelet. Had a few hashbrowns with it and one slice of toast.
Breakfast was a bit later then usual, so I wasn't real hungry at lunchtime. I opted to have a protein shake with the 2 tsp. of Hi-Maize added in. Also had a handful of graham cracker pretzels.
Later in the afternoon, I did eat a homemade chocolate chip cookie and a small glass of milk. I was kind of hungry. I had better options that I could have had, but I went for the cookie. There was no reason....when I want something sweet, I go for it. I really need to work on changing that habit.

Today is Thursday, going to be a busy day. Work all day, then I am starting a class at our local Methodist church which begins an hour after I get home. It's going to be a day of not having a lot of time for sit down meals. When I get home from work, it's eat something fast and run.
Breakfast I plan to have my usual oatmeal/PB/milk. I have snacks prepared for work:
Little bag of mixed nuts. Small container of chocolate covered raisens (less then quarter cup). Apple. Yogurt.
For lunch it will probably be grilled chicken in a mixed green salad.
Dinner - I ate the remainder of my lunch salad as I made too much. Also had about a half cup of sloppy joe meat that my mom had made for dinner, bun. Ate on the run to go to my class.
When I got home from class I had a cookie and milk. What is sad, is on the way home from class I just kept thinking about eating that cookie and milk. I just really wanted a nice soft cookie and glass of cold milk.
On a different topic, I finally got the Choose Your Foods book Diane wanted me to buy. I do already have a previous printing of this...packed somewhere in the ULock. It's such an inexpensive book that I bought a new one. Cost...a total of 4.00 and with prime shipping...no shipping cost.

I didn't take time to post yesterday. Getting a bit discouraged, I have not lost any weight this week...but, also I've not been very diligent about what I eat.
I did get the product Diane recommended finally, the Hi-Maize starch. It's a resistant starch that is kind of a fiber supplement. Supposed to be really good for your digestion, etc. Here is a link for more info. I'm going to be adding it to protein drinks, maybe my morning cereal.
Hi-Maize
Today, so far, been better:
Breakfast - steel cut oats, packet sugar, tb PB, milk
Snack - less then quarter cup mixed nuts, a few chocolate covered cranberries, a Chobanni yogurt.
I got home from church later then usual, so didn't have any lunch. Instead, when I got home I made my protein shake adding in the Hi-Maize.
Dinner is as pictured. Diane asked me to try and shoot for 50 percent of some meals being non-starchy veggies. I don't think I quite made 50 percent here.

Happy Monday. I didn't take time post yesterday. I also did not do very well in the eating department. After church a lady there invited me to a dinner at a Catholic church in the next town over. Chris and I went..it was a turkey dinner and very good. I don't think I overate, but I did eat more mashed potatoes, dressing then I probably should have. Plus, a piece of pie.
I didn't eat anything until the evening then had a dinner of a cinnamon roll. My sweet tooth was screaming and I gave in. But, I did walk a mile and a half.
On to today.
Breakfast: Steel cut oats, tb peanut butter, milk, packet of sugar.
Snack - 1 miniature kit kat bar. A few pieces of dried apple and apricots.
Lunch - tuna fish sandwich. (tuna, tb mayo on white bread) serving of steamed mixed veggies.
Snack - half an apple, Chobanni yogurt.
Dinner - bowl of leftover stew. One slice sourdough bread, tsp butter.
I may have a few pieces of dark chocolate later for dessert, I may not.

Today is another busy day. My church has a food pantry on the third Saturday of the month, so we had to be up and there fairly early. We left the house at about 7am. I pick up the bread for this pantry from another church here in Rensselaer. We were able to pick it up and get to Wolcott with enough time to have breakfast at the cafe. I had:
Two egg, over easy. Ham. Small portion of hash browns. One slice of toast. Coffee.
Snack - at home. Had half of a homemade chocolate chip cookie.
Lunch - I was hungry, but am getting tired of salads and chicken. I opted for oatmeal, milk and a dollop of peanut butter.
We're going to the movies this afternoon. I have a baggie of mixed nuts, a few chocolate covered cranberries and a small box of raisins in my purse.
I survived snack temptations at the movies! Chris did get a popcorn and soda. I took my baggie of snacks. I did have one handful of popcorn, but then ate only my snacks. And the movie, Sully, was very good.
Dinner - made stew in the crockpot and it turned out really good. Here is a pic:

It's Friday, I'm into my second week now. Chatted with RD Diane Wednesday, she encouraged me to keep things going, walk more and maybe add in some strength exercise. I'm going to try, but living with my mom makes it hard. Our house should be done in about two weeks! Then, finalizing the new mortgage, getting appliances bought and moved, utilities hooked back up. I'm really hoping we can be in by mid October, tho I'm sure not all boxes will be open by then.
Today, ran errands with mom. Breakfast at home:
Usual...Steel cut oatmeal, packet sugar, tb peanut butter, milk.
Snack - we left fairly early for errands, but I did eat a piece of Brownie Brittle. (this is a store bought, low calorie item.)
Lunch - I needed to run to the town where my church is, so mom and I stopped at a little local cafe that is there. The Wolcott Cafe, located in what was once an old movie theater. I so much prefer local cafes and restaurants. The food is closer to homemade then places like Chili's or Olive Garden.
I had:
Hamburger with the bun. Small dish of cole slaw.
Snack - Chobanni yogurt.
Dinner - Not really sure if dinner was a wise choice, but I know it wasn't processed. There are about 4 casseroles in the freezer here at my moms leftover from when she was down from her accident. They were purchased from the Homestead for easy meals. If anyone is reading this and is curious about the Homestead, here is some info.:
Homestead
The ladies at the Homestead bake all their own bread and bakery products even down to grinding the wheat. All their frozen casseroles are made from scratch. Everything there is sold in bulk. It's a wonderful store.
So, anyway...we heated up a Poppysead Chicken Casserole.
I also warmed up a steamer bag of broccoli.
On to tomorrow...another busy day.

Today I work all day at the vet clinic. Have all my snacks prepared and ready to take. Plan to have my usual oatmeal breakfast. Hope to get a walk in this evening. More later.
Breakfast - Steel cut oats, packet of sugar, tb peanut butter, milk.
Snack - Apple, about 10 dark chocolate covered craisins.
Lunch - egg salad I made myself (1 egg, 1 egg white, tsp mayo, mustard.) open face on one slice homemade rye bread. Small mixed green salad, dressing.
Snack - Chobani yogurt, half a quarter cup mixed nuts.
Dinner - small hamburger cooked on the grill. Approx. 4 ounces with a slice of hot pepper cheese. NO bun. Approx. half cup pasta salad with tomatoes and cucumbers.
Dessert - my mom made a strawberry pie. I did have a small slice..half the size I would have normally eaten.
Went for a one mile walk after dinner. Good day, not too much hunger cravings. However, new office manager at my office is keeping a large bowl of miniature chocolate bars on her desk. I did have one Twix mini. Having one is an achievement. I would normally have taken a big handful.
