What I Ate and Didn't Eat in November

[Indiana]

"If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health." - Hippocrates

I am back. While I was figuring this out I stayed away. I am eating healthy once again.

I got tired of not eating.

I was going to begin posting what I ate beginning with today. So tomorrow you will see what I ate.

Anyone want to join me again.

One of the simpliest ways of eating healthy is the plate method. 1/4 of the plate starch, 1/4 of the plate protein and 1/2 of the plate vegetables and fruit. It is simple and good for us.

I'll play for today.

Breakfast: Bite-size shredded wheat, a banana and approx 1 cup skim milk, including milk in coffee
also an International flavors coffee creamer, divided over two cups of coffee
Lunch: Bowl of chili from home
Supper: two slices Dominos pepperoni pizza

Snack: Diet coke on the way to work (I've weaned myself of off fast-food second breakfast at least)
wine, a slice of American cheese and low fat triscuits


Not particularly healthy, altho it could be worse....

Breakfast: apple pie filling for my fruit with some granola sprinkled on top.
egg including cocoa in coffee;
also an sug. free coffee creamer, x2 in two cups of coffee

Lunch: Bowl of home made soup & cookie

Snack: counting this cookie and then another half or 3/4ths of one and a half plus 2 mini candy bars, I was having a blood sugar crash sigh!
Slice of hot petter cheese and peanuts for protein to balance that out.
Diet coke

Supper: T.B.A. {salad I think.}

Yesterday -
Smoothie (cherry, peach, banana, blackberry, almond milk)
7-layer salad for one
ChickFilA carrot and raisin salad, 2 chicken strips, Pepsi
Homemade vegetable soup

6 or more veggie/fruits, virtually no gluten, a little too much salt

Today -
Smoothie (cherry, peach, banana, blackberry, almond milk)
chicken breast, 1/2 biscuit, Pepsi
7-layer salad for one
HotDog with lots of slaw and Funyuns, almond milk

an iffy day - 5 veggie/fruits, but some gluten choices and salty choices I should have avoided.

The Pepsi has reappeared in my eating plan - how did that happen?

I'm not back in my good eating routine yet, however I'm thankful the scale took a u-turn and is headed in the right direction now.

Surprised to see scale's one-pound frown at me today because of hotdog last evening - just goes to show what the wrong choice can do.
