Survived Easter
So I was concerned about Easter but it was a breeze. I brought the meat (Ham and Turkey) to the dinner with green beans and cucumbers. All food I could eat. Ham is traditional Easter food – but it is not on my approved foods – so I ate Turkey. 4 oz turkey, 1 cup each of green beans and cucumbers – filled my plate. I didn’t look like I was skimping at all. When they had desert and coffee I made myself a hot chocolate electrolyte cup to drink. It was great. Had my fruit 2 hours later, and I did not want to eat supper at 6pm, but I did. I know I am supposed to eat all the food. Got up this morning and had lost another pound.
I have gotten in a pretty good routine. Eat lunch somewhere around noon – sometimes a little later. 4 oz meat, 2 servings vegetables – 2 hours later fruit snack. Repeat at dinner and snack. I am weighing everything and measuring – so that has been easy and good.
Got our walk in this morning with Annie our dog, and a bike ride in this afternoon.
Made Dick some bread, and I see he is out of cookies – I will make the dough tonight and have him put them on the cookie sheet. I am not suppose to touch anything with oil or butter, so I am vrey careful when I fix his meals. They even recommended wearing gloves if you have to touch oily food. That has been a hard habit to break, I spray the grill, the frying pan, everything before I cook so it doesn’t stick. No spraying in the past 10 days!
Onward I go…
