Day 5

I thought I would write a bit early today and talk about the shitty parts...seems like by the time I get to writing they are all resolved and seem petty but I don't want to misrepresent the process either, and today a few suckie things reminded me to write them down.  First it sucks to make awesome food you can't eat.  Second it sucks to watch people eat when you are hungry, and finally it sucks to see your kids not eat food you would love to devour...

Things That I have learned so far.

1. Make it easy, make it ahead, and do it when you feel good. 
2. This eating small all the time is natural...my kids do it ALL THE TIME, and I never really noticed.  Now that I am on a schedule they get more regular snacks and are happier :)
3. Make sure you start right or you are screwed for the rest of the day - EAT  A GOOD BREAKFAST.
4. If you can, have fun with dinner.  Make it something that sounds good, and something that can be leftover

As for day 5, I was saved by the leftovers again for my snacks and whatnot.  I made for the first time a egg white scramble which I devoured because I got it too late (like 9), but was happy it was filling.

At 10 I had my protein pancakes and lunch was leftover chicken roll ups.  I also experimented with just steamed nonfat milk flavored - I decided I needed some real sugar free vanilla Toriani syrup...

 I had cottage cheese, beets and almonds for afternoon snack and I made the southwestern chicken skewers with cilantro cream and thyme crusted cauliflower steaks - there are no leftovers of the cauliflower, it was that good. I should have taked a pic but I was hungry and it was gone before I knew it. Finally I was saved by preprep and had 2 chocolate cheesecake protein muffins I made from the freezer for my final meal.

Day 5 DONE! Seeing the end of week one coming up!
