Hi guys! It's been a while since I posted, but I'm going to start logging my food again. I need the accountability.

Today...

B- 1 cup watermelon chunks, light yogurt

S- 100 calorie pack cocoa roasted almonds

L- 1 cup special k chocolatey delight w/ 1/4 cup lowfat milk

S- Protein Shake

D- making mini meatloaves (Tara's recipe from TBL), and corn on the cob

This steroid I am on is making me CRAZY HUNGRY, so if I need a snack after dinner, it will probably be 100 calorie popcorn or a Protein Bar.< /p>

Welcome Back Georgia Girl!

I need accountability too - I take my mind of it for a day or two and I've eaten who knows what - I am fighting a bad mental battle -

I have basically spent most of the day eating sf popsicles and fudgsicles - i mean seriously. I did have 2oz of hamburger w/ cheese spread on it and 1/3 c. baked Beans for lunch

dinner should be better - making parmesan crusted dover sole w/ lemon and capers and a caprese salad

Do any of you eat farina (sp.)? If you do, do you do anything to it to make it taste good? I remember it being awful as a kid, but haven't had it as an adult.

B – 1 cup total of: leftover chicken, leftover mashed potatoes, frozen corn and peas, 1tsp light butter)

L – Protein Shake made w/ ½ c. frozen strawberries, 30 minutes later I had 2tbs light vege cream cheese and 12 wheat thins high Fiber crackers

S – 15 almonds, 1 sf oreo

D – 1 c. lasagna made w/ zucchini “noodles” instead of Pasta. Rest of the family had spaghetti and meat sauce…mine was better!!

S – Might have a Protein shake or a sf fudge pop

Don't know that I've ever specifically had farina - but for some reason I think it's like cream of wheat - which I eat all the time - w/ some splenda brown sugar/ maple Syrup or Peanut Butter and splenda.

it also helps with just a pinch of salt - balance and all.

SOmetimes I'll saute a diced up apple or pear in a little butter (opt) and the brown sugar and syrup w/ a little cinnamon and nutmeg then pour it over the top of the Cereal.< /p>

I don't know that I've ever had traditional wheat farina, but I imagine just like oatmeal it can be jazzed up to make it tasty. Plain would probably be gross just like plain oatmeal is.

The farina I eat is made with brown rice. Bob's Red Mill makes it. I use it as a much healthier substitute for grits. I actually like it better than grits, which is saying a lot for a southern girl! It has a delicious flavor, with all of the nutty goodness of brown rice and the texture of grits. I usually serve it with light butter, s&p, and sometimes a little cheese, topped with a sunny side up egg. I would love to eat it every day for Breakfast but it's kind of runny and I can eat more than I should. It's great for the full liquids and the mushy stage. Sometimes I can find it at the grocery store in the health food section, but it has become increasingly hard to find. Fortunately Bob's Red Mill sells it on their website, Creamy Brown Rice Farina - Bob's Red Mill. I just noticed that they also make a version of grits out of millet. I think I'll give that a try.

Thanks to both of you for the ideas. I do think this is similar to Cream of Wheat. I think the empty spot on the shelf next to this was for Cream of Wheat.
