Feb 1, 2021 - Here We Go Again!

Hello friends!  Welcome back.  It's good to be back.  Now let's see how this goes . . . . . . . This is going to have a little different feel than the usual.  I'm not going to be perfect.  I'm just going to be a lot better than I was in 2020.  So there will be imperfect choices.  The biggest thing this time around is going to be portion control and no late night eating, along with the other rules I posted yesterday.  Here's today's breakdown!

Breakfast - I did not actually end up having breakfast.  Just didn't get around to it.  I thought about it a couple times, but time just got away from me.  I think it's cuz I didn't really want to be awake, so I tried to sort of make believe I was not awake and just laid on the couch like a potato while the kids played.

Lunch - well, by the time I was ready to eat, it was about 11am.  SOOOO, I went to the garage refrigerator and grabbed some more leftover Bruno's.  I had 2 square slices.  These came out really good in the oven at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.  Thanks again, Krewer!!!  Had some water with this.

Snacking - Kristyn and the kids made M&M Cookies - they were fresh and soft.  Joey came all the way to the basement to tell me the cookies were ready.  I told him I'd be right up, but he had 3 cookies on a plate for me and was delivering them.  What do you think I was gonna do?   So yes, I ate them.  And I'm not upset about it.  I did it for the kids.  

Dinner - Kristyn has been on a roll with some new recipes lately, so today she tried something again brand new.  It was a spaghetti squash Taco bake.  Spaghetti squash, black beans, corn ground turkey, tomato paste and some buffalo sauce.  I added a little bit of pulled buffalo chicken to it.  It was quite good! 

Snacking - Yummy Minute Maid Frozen Lemonade.  These are so good and good portion control.  Totally saves me from eating an unsafe amount of ice cream!  :-)

So here's a story.  It's not a great story, but it's a success story, that I'm really trying.  So I have the rule for the month of not eating after 9pm.  I was talking to Kristyn and was feeling hungry.  I say "What time is it?"  She said "9:09."  And I was like "DAMN IT!" She asks why . . . . . . . but you all know. . . .  It was too late for a snack!  :-(  So I went without.  And guess what, I SURVIVED!   And I'll be thankful tomorrow.  :-)

I also spent a few hours shoveling a ton of snow, like all of you probably did too.  It was crazy, so I actually got some exercise today!!!!   My legs are SHOT!

See you all tomorrow.
