For breakfast:

2 hard boiled eggs
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 c yogurt
1/2 cup milk (part in oatmeal, part in coffee)
6 oz. apple

1st--it's A LOT of food. I'm usually hungry halfway through the morning. I can't imagine this happens on this food plan.

2nd--I overboiled the eggs so they tasted real gross. Tomorrow I'll try eating just the egg whites and weigh them. I boiled a whole dozen, so I might have to toss them if they're inedible. I thought I was being picky but J ate one and spit out part of the yolk into the garbage.

Lunch:
Tasty chicken cooked with olive oil. Ate too much oil total for lunch, but I'm being lenient with the oil for now. I get a pass on the oil.
Brown rice
Cooked green beans (little A thought they were tasty too)
Salad with tomatoes, radishes, onions--YUMMY

I went for a drive in the afternoon. I think afternoon might be my hardest time. I have been eating ice cream regularly knowing that I wouldn't be soon. So it's become a habit. A habit to be broken now.

I bought coffee and put some of J's soymilk in it. I thought about calling C before I did. But I didn't. I wondered about cheating and how I was going to not do that--I've never followed a plan exactly before (or stayed within my points). As I sat in the driveway afterwards, I read an OA book of member stories and one member said that there is no slips and cheating. There's abstinence and non-abstinence. OK. I choose abstinence. I'll make a call and/or choose abstinence.

Supper:
chicken with sesame, oil, salt, pepper, garlic, onion flakes and parsley
stir fry veggies with salt/pepper
rice heated in the pan after chicken (added some water)
More salad

Again. Feels like TONS of food.
