Yes, today was the day! I had a fabulous breakfast of egg salad and 1 whole wheat melba toast. I had my southwest chicken pureed soup for lunch, V8 for afternoon snack and my tuna casserole for supper. I was so happy to have flavours and textures. I am already working on tomorrows menu: egg salad & melba toast, ground chicken chili for lunch, cottage cheese for pm snack, and the piece de la resistance.....baked chicken breast, mixed veggies( zucchini,tomatoes, onions,mushroom, yellow,red & green peppers) and mashed potatoes. My favourite thing in the world is mashed potatoes....I can't wait till tomorrows supper! I bought some of the thin bagels that are 100 calories per bagel. I think that Friday I am going to have my half whole wheat thin bagel with my 1 tbsp of peanut butter, chicken meatball,potatoes & fruit for lunch and tuna casserole for supper, yogurt for snack. I am looking forward to Saturday morning as I am going to have a poached egg and half my whole wheat thin bagel. I have really been looking forward to a poached egg and I am still craving tuna so somehow I will work it into my weekend menu. I know my blog is mostly about food today but I am so excited to have "real food". I will still have lots of my pureed soups for lunches at work as they are easy, but I want to try to have my bigger protein meals in the morning and at night. Not sure how this continues to help with weight lose but I will keep plugging on. I did much better with the water intake today! I had some Nestea ice tea.....less calories than crystal light and I totally loved the flavour. Thanks to one of my coworkers I think I am hooked on the Nestea Ice tea single servings. Since my husband decided that he really needs to have bacon this weekend but feels bad cooking or eating it infront of me I bought my self a lb of chicken bacon. I can cook it an weigh it as it is not red meat...right! Has anyone ever had the chicken bacon....I think I ate the turkey bacon before but not chicken bacon. Mmmmmmmm my house smells so good right now....chicken baking, potatoes cooking! If anyone has interesting low calorie recipes that stay away from red meat then let me know! Anyways, sorry for posting so late but had a appointment I had to get to earlier this evening. Now I have to go watch American Idol.
