What a GREAT day!!!!!!  I didn’t have any phone calls from celebrities!  I didn’t get invited to the TODAY show!  But today was a great day! 

For breakfast I had a glass of orange juice, Trop50 (it has less sugar than a normal orange juice), and an apple.  I usually will NOT drink OJ without a bread of some sort, it’s a lot of acid on my empty stomach.  I think that will change as my days of no dairy go on.  My body is still trying to rid it’s self the yuk from dairy.  My tummy did not agree this morning, but I’ll do it again tomorrow!   

I was surprised, I wasn’t hungry again for hours!  Probably about three hours later.  I had Kind granola and dried cranberries!  It was delicious and Grace and Isabella liked it too!  Below is a picture of the granola suggested to me, and a copy of Marilu Henner’s book!  

Rudy was home today and he was going to spend the day with me, running errands, driving Bella to school and then he suggested lunch out!

I panicked! Complete truth!  I got all worked up about how I have my food here to make a healthy salad and I’m afraid if I go out that I won’t make good decisions!  After a few minutes of contemplation I decided that there was way too much to do to not eat lunch out!  And I promised myself I would eat a grilled chicken salad!  

We ran our errands, dropped B off at school and headed to the mall.  “Let’s go to Muldoons!” Rudy suggested!  Pit in the stomach!  I love fried foods, burgers, French fries!  At first I agreed, and then I was honest!  I told him, if we sat there and ate, I would be so tempted to reach across the table to what he had and pull a fry!  I couldn’t do it!  I’m not strong enough to make food a social gathering!  I need to get in and get out!  Food court it was!  I went to a place that had a salad bar and I made a yummy grilled chicken salad, with veggies, pico de gallo, and a balsamic vinaigrette dressing!

It was satisfying, healthy and I was proud!  Doesn’t it look pretty too?!

We picked our babies up from school and headed home for snack and homework!  Uh OH!  Is anyone else have picky afternoons?!  It’s not quite dinner time, but you are starved!  The kids grabbed this and that, and I grabbed my Kashi cereal and my almondmilk!  I wasn’t kidding when I said that almondmilk was good!  I ran out and bought myself some last night!  I had a healthy, satisfying snack that held me over to dinner!  

I didn’t get a picture of dinner!  But my neighbor is so sweet and sent me over a cup of Quinoa!  Don’t ask me to pronounce it, one minute I can say it and the next the works flee from my head!  I know it’s healthy and can be used as an oatmeal, rice type of dish!  I had it with my dinner.  I FILLED my plate with lettuce, green beans and quinoa!  I put a little bit of the balsamic vinaigrette dressing on my salad and was surprisingly satisfied!  I actually left the table feeling FULL!  

I know I said the word satisfying a lot in this blog and I hope that is something you take away from this!  I feel satisfied!  I ate healthy today and whole foods!  Foods that my body needed!  There have been times when I am counting points or I eat something and I get angry because MAN, I ate my points and I just want more!  

I learned to be more honest….some of you probably think I am honest enough already!  But I found that telling Rudy exactly what I needed because of certain weaknesses of mine allowed him to respect me more and help me better!  If you can’t be honest with those around you, how can they help you?!  

Day One= success!  

I’ll talk to you tomorrow!

Love
