B- None, just cant do it

L- 1/2c salmon shredded cups by chicken of the sea

and a slimmer bear 100 calorie klondike bar

S- Mashed califlower with LF creamcheese and LF sourcream and

smart balance butter about 1/2 cup

and 2/3 cup of butter nut squash baked.

then another icecream skinny bear klondike bar

I can always eat sooo much more at night. I found the recipe for the mashed califlower on here. It was really good and has more vitamens then mashed potatoes which I can never ever look at again.

I had made sauteed green Beans for me and mashed potatoes for my roommates, but as soon as I put the green bean in my mouth I knew that It wasn't safe for me to eat it the shell was too tough. But not too bad.

[Shinyhappymommy 2]

I'll join in!

B-2 soft boiled eggs

L-2 chicken nuggets

1/2 chocolate Protein shake, couldn't finish the rest

S-4 club crackers with rf cream cheese and sweet n spicy tuna

D-1 inch portion of sub sandwich with 3 meats and cheeses. I took the bottom bun off, and only ate the fillings and the top part. (I have yet to have a problem with bread, but I'm trying not to choose to eat it very often.) There was lettuce and Tomato on the sandwich. I also ate a clementine, being careful not to swallow too much of the membranes.

Dang. I totally messed up late last night and ate like 4 ounces of smoked gouda cheese. After being so healthy all day and cooking this low low fat meal for me and my roommates, I totally threw the day away...and I wasn't hungry! That's the bad part, I just was so happy and I wanted to Celebrate and that is how I celebrate, I have got to teach myself new habits. I am working so hard at it. I am mad at myself.:drool:
