Yesterday wasn't especially easy for me. It wasn't overly hard either. It was just sort of blah, something obligatory rather than fun. A diet is fun on day one because you are filled with promises and high expectations. Day 2 you are still riding high. Day 3 might have easily lost it's luster had it not been for an outing with some friends. Thursday, day 4 was, well, a chore. I was craving comfort food, especially mac&cheese. That's not exactly diet and the low-fat versions that I've tried haven't struck me as great. I remedied it by concocting a dinner fit for...a qu..myself-and probably only myself but it was edible. I didn't fall off the wagon, partly because of this blog. I may have stuck a foot out. When the calories were added up at the end of the day, I was okay. Not great, but okay.
Here's what I ate:
Breakfast:
Egg Sandwhich
Snack:
Pita chips and Hummus
Lunch:
Awesome Salad
Jello
Snack(I had school and I was freezing): Hot Chocolate
Dinner:
Mac&Concoction
Spinach
Mac&Concoction Recipe
Smart Taste Rotini, 1 Cup (if you are looking for an alternative to reg. pasta, this tastes just like it-with a lot of added fiber and a serving of calcium)
1 2% Cheddar Cheese Stick
1 Babybell Light Cheese
1 palm full of reduced fat monteray jack shredded cheese
1 tsp olive oil
2 tsp land o'lakes butter light
2 oz chicken chopped up
1 tbls bread crumbs
Boil pasta, drain, put back in pot. Throw in concoction of cheese and chicken. Reheat, melting the cheese. Pour on a plate and enjoy.
*this recipe will not be found in any cookbook. this recipe was a concoction made from things I had on hand. it satisfied the comfort food craving, was filling, and wasn't terrible tasting.
