last night chicken breast with lemon and capers, (still can't get that right) and steamed some spinach slightly - good

today: dinner: salad greens with goat cheese, dried cranberries, beet slices, almond slivers, red onion slivers, avocado pieces and balsamic dijon vinaigrette
peach

I am struggling with not eating carbs for dinner and not eating in the evening.

lunch: I had the walleye (left over for tomorrow)
potatoes and turnip scallop, salad

tonight beet salad with goat cheese, dried cranberries, red onion, etc...
dessert: cook some rhubarb and strawberries together.

33.8 perrier water - I have been drinking one a day. pop is usually 1.00 (diet) so I find this at 1.59 a large bottle is about the same and still cheaper than starbucks

lunch tomorrow: carrot slaw, cauliflower, seared piece of tuna with asian dressing. carb: brown rice 1/2 a cup.

lost 2 pds. this week.

I don't want to eat tuna for lunch... I will have it for dinner along with the cauliflower, spaghetti squash and sauce
dh loved the walleye so it's gone.

I need a non cooked lunch (frustrated right now with the healthy eating plan so I will give my self one afternoon off but still eat healthy)
I woke up hungry at 2 and tried to put it off but had cereal. I had a subway meatball and really not as good as real food but it's out of the way now. I think the next time I get the urge to have a non healthy lunch I would rather go out.

I made beet chips (not the same as potato chips)

making all these veggies have been hard but I do feel better.

I have to make oatmeal for tomorrow as I am too lazy or too hungry to cook first thing in the morning.

Snacks available already made
fruit cut up
rhubarb/strawberry/apple cooked together (maybe put in yogurt) a little tart bc of the rhubarb though.
cauliflower steamed already

Lunch: 3 oz burger with tomato, lettuce, grilled onions - dh bought burgers and onion rings... why did i not cook and why did I eat those onion rings :oops:

make cucumber salad and carrot salad for fridge :arrow:

dinner: lentils salad with carrots, celery, onion and vinaigrette dijon dressing :arrow: had left over chicken breast and veggies.. a junky dinner but oh so easy.

Today I have to plan meals as dd's come back tomorrow.
my healthy eating IS paying off, even though I really dislike it sometimes - I mean reallllly dislike it. my mind wants comfort food with tons of cheese and cream cheese and tons of carb items - noodles my favorite (I am sure out of habit)

okay now that I got that out of the way. ;) :D

I have to make 2 quiches for Easter today: (I don't want to spend my morning picking up dd's at airport and cooking being stressed and then not cooking at all which wastes tons of money because I go out and buy what I need) I love to cook but deadlines make me enjoy it less (I do this sometimes... when I have a dead line)

So make: onion and bacon quiche plus carrot and leek slivers dijon (reg and country) quiche
I have to make a soup for the week today - thinking onion
