Breakfast
For breakfast today I decided to be a little different. As stated in yesterday's post, I made a trip to Whole Foods. While I was there I picked up some roasted chicken breast from the hot bar. (This time I stayed away from the roasted chicken thighs, which were too oily.) Now that I eat so little, it just seems a lot easier to pick up foods that are already prepared, especially if it's something Bob won't eat, like bone-in chicken. Plus the grill is out of propane and I'd have to shovel my way to it. So, I bought one chicken breast with the wing attached and that will give me about 4 meals. I ate some for dinner last night and when I entered it into my tracking program I noticed that 2.25 oz packs a whopping 19.6g of protein! For breakfast I decided to make a chunky chicken salad with 2.25 oz chicken breast, 2 TB light mayo (I only use Hellman's), a few dried cranberries, and salt and pepper. I felt kinda weird eating chicken for breakfast. It felt wrong somehow and goes against everything I've ever known. But then I figured I've eaten breakfast for dinner many times. Whats the difference? At least it helped me get a jump start on my protein for the day. The kitties got some of the chicken breast, too.
Lunch
Lunch was in the car today: a pepperjack cheese stick and a bag of protein chips. I decided to run to the clothing store to return a shirt I'd bought before surgery. I bought it for the SCP volunteer dinner, but didn't get to wear it. I couldn't go to the dinner, because I was having "issues" with the liver flush diet I was on in preparation for my surgery. It's now two sizes too big so I won't be wearing it. I used my credit to buy a few shirts on clearance. It kills me to buy any clothing right now, but I'm running out of clothes for work. I walked out with four shirts and 6 pairs of pantyhose for $55.00 so I was pretty happy.
Dinner
Tonight's dinner was meatloaf. I use the recipe on the Lipton Onion Soup Mix box. I replace the ketchup with barbecue sauce. I also paint the outside of the meatloaf with barbecue sauce and, when it's just about done baking, I add some cheddar on top. I can hear my arteries clogging now. I also made Hasselback potatoes. So, my dinner was 2.25 oz meatloaf and three slices of one potato (one slice didn't make it onto the plate :) ).
Snacks
Before breakfast I had my usual Bariwise high protein hot chocolate and for a snack later on I had a 1 oz piece of cheese. I drank lots of water in between.
Your doing so good!!!!
