Week 2, Day 5, Diet with Dianna

T.G.I.F. It's been a great day. I've been busy. I baked sugar free cookies, today. They turned out well; better than I expected. They taste pretty good, for sugar free. Since they are really what I can have, now, they will do just fine.  Of course I would like to have the kind with real pure cane sugar in them. *sigh* Oh well!

REVELATION KNOWLEDGE:
Be flexible and be prepared. I have to say that preparing a head of time has taken some time to get used too. It now takes me just one hour to prepare, when last week it took me way over two hours to figure, compare, and calculate.  There is a learning curve whenever you begin something new, but with repetition and practice, I have cut my time in half! I have to be patient with myself and not get frustrated and angry at mistakes. I can learn; I will learn!
Also, did you know that swimming does two things: Cardio and Strength at the same time? Yep, it does.  Maybe it isn't lifting weights at the gym or running 2 miles, but it is beneficial and refreshing!

Exercise: 
Swim for one hour: Laps on my stomach, then back, then each side. WHEW! If I weren't in the water, I would be as wet as if I were after this kind of workout. When I'm finished I just float around and enjoy the water. FUN! FUN! FUN! If I have to exercise, this is my favorite kind. (I just need a pool in my back yard.)

Breakfast:

 Egg Sandwich: with one turkey sausage, one scrambled egg, and extra-sharp cheddar cheese.
Coffee w/half & half and 1 packed of Stevia in the Raw

Breakfast S/C Total: 1/1 

A.N. (After Noon) Snack:

My new recipe for Sugar Free Thumbprint Cookies, I had three!!!!!!

A.N. S/C Total: 1/1

Lunch:

NONE...I just could not eat...I was too full from breakfast and A.N. snack.  I know it is frowned upon to skip meals, but I just could not eat anything!!!!!!!!!!!

Dinner:

 

Out to eat at Mexican Inn -- Date Night with my favorite husband! *kiss-kiss*

One ground beef taco w/ lettuce, diced tomato, and cheese!

1 corn tortilla wrapped around the outside of my crunchy taco shell...It works and it is so tasty, too!

4 bites of Mexican rice

3 bites of Guacamole

Corn Chips w/salsa

Coke Zero w/lime

(Again, after I began eating, I quickly got full and had to stop!)

Dinner S/C Total: 3/5

NO P.M. Snack! I'm just too full from dinner. I cannot force myself to eat when I am not hungry, especially when I am feeling full!

DAILY TOTAL: 5/7
