What did you eat today?

[limewave]

Limewave--That combo strikes me as odd. It makes sense from a "food construction" standpoint, but I'm having difficulty wrapping my head around the "black beans" and "brownies" combination.

lol. I thought the same thing but will try just about anything once. And I have to say, the brownies are very fudgey! Surprisingly, I like them. We'll have to wait and see what the family thinks tonight.

I have been losing weight since January with only one brief plateau. The weight loss has been about a pound a week. The past week I have been on a trip in insufferably hot weather and have been riding little because of a neck/shoulder issue. For the first time in a long time keeping the calories down has been difficult. Yesterday I had a Dairy Queen kid cone. I also had three cookies and milk. And craved more junk. Ack! I ended the day with a Mike's Hard Lemonade to add 220 useless calories. But it was good! My total for the day was 1500 calories. I might even gain weight on a sedentary day on 1500 calories.

Today I am back on track. Apple and smoked fish for breakfast after walking two miles. Spring rolls sans meat for lunch--with plenty of veggies and fish sauce but few rice noodles. Black beans (with lots of Kale cooked in it) for dinner on a rice/dal homemade dosa. 1100 calories. I feel good and not near as hungry as yesterday.

Yesterday:
B: Cereal with 1%
L1: Small portion of leftover fried rice
L2: Giant salad (kale and boxed salad greens) with chicken and Caesar dressing
S: Slice of pound cake
D: Chicken tacos with bell peppers, onions and salsa, tortilla chips
D: mint chocolate chip ice cream

Today:
Oh, today was bad...
B: Cereal
Licked chocolate off my fingers while making buckeyes, then ate some of the leftover chocolate on strawberries, then sampled the smallest buckeye. Yes, they're good.
I didn't really eat lunch after that...
Dinner: Salad with chicken
Dessert: another buckeye.

I have moved on to the peach. I've been eating 2 or 3 most days. I'm in heaven.

I forgot, I also ate some cheese.
