This is one purchase (the capuccino maker) that I do not regret making. I bought it as a "good job" gift to myself. If anyone can reccomend some sugar-free soy-free coffee syrup, I would love you forever.

Anyway, this cappucino was made with reduced fat milk, a splash of half and half, Splenda, and expresso. Topped with nutmeg.

This was delicious

There will be plenty of leftovers.
Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

This was two potatoes, boiled and then smashed on a baking sheet, drizzled with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and a tiny bit of shredded cheese. Then I topped it with sauteed chicken and green onions. More than half of it is still in the fridge, which I will eat later today. Yum.

As you can see from looking at the pictures, I am eating a lot of starchy foods and stuff that probably isn't that good for me. I should eat more veggies. A lot more veggies, honestly. But still, I am pleased to say that as of this morning, I am 16.8lbs lighter than I was when I started this journal.

A Tiny Snack

At this point I hadn't eaten in about nine hours and dude, I was hungry and couldn't wait another hour for my dinner to finish.

Raw Food Alert.

Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Most of this didn't end up being edible, unfortunately. I ended up throwing pretty much all of the meat out. It was sad. Very sad. But raw. Very raw.

What I packed...

Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

It should be noted that I didn't eat all of this at once. I grazed a little, which I have been trying not to do, but I am updating this about three days later now and there is still half of that sitting on my desk at work.

This was SO good.

These strawberries were liberally sprinkled with Splenda and left in the fridge for a few hours. The cream was whipped by hand with lemon extract and Splenda. It was SUCH a good treat. It was so satisfying. Mike had thirds! I'm proud to say I only ate what is pictured, but damn, it was freakin' awesome.

Mike ate most of it

My elderly neighbor picked these blueberries for me from the bushes in our front yard. How sweet! When I ate them the other night, though, they literally went right through me. Undigested, from the looks of it.

Leftovers from dinner last night, with a glass of diet Canada Dry.


Also, I forgot to take my Blackberry to work with me today, so I didn't get pictures of the other foods that I ate:

one cup of coffee with cream and real sugar, because I am out of Splenda

one small tupperware thing of banana chips

one medium tupperware thing of veggie chips

one applesauce

Bedtime snack.

Veggie chips. I practically licked the bowl.

Yummy

Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Rice fettuccine, tomato sauce (eggplant and garlic flavor), plus chicken sauteed in olive oil and way too much delicious garlic. I love crunchy garlic.

Yuck.

That spread is gross.
