First day back on the diet after 2 months off. Did horribly bad!
Skipped breakfast by only 3 hours but had peppermint tea with equal
Snack- low fat bbq chips and salt free pretzels and a diet root beer
Lunch- a cup of sugar free strawberry milk and salt free pretzels
Dinner- I was starving and made chili for my family and ended up eating corn chips with chili beans and cheese. SO BAD! More diet root bear.
Okay so for today....
Breakfast- peppermint tea and 3 packets of equal
Lunch- low fat vanilla yogurt with cinnamon, sugar free pears in a cup, 19 salt free pretzels, diet root beer, and a Starbucks light frappuccino.
Snack- Peppermint tea/soda and a choc chip cookie
Dinner- Pasta with veggies (2 cherry tomatoes, 1 whole mushroom, a handful of green beans, a tiny bit of leeks, a few slices of green peppers) with 1/3 cup of plan yogurt and a little balsamic vinegar. 1 cup of sugar free strawberry milk and 8 salt free pretzels.

How was the sauce? Sounds yummy.
Haven't made it yet - dinner is in a couple of hours, but I will definitely let you know! I have high hopes for it - it's an eggless low-fat hollandaise sauce made with cream cheese... YUMQuote:

Ugh! Have had a horrible day so far. We got stuck out running errands around lunchtime and had to stop somewhere to eat... and the only thing close was Mexican. I was really good and only ate 7 chips, I ordered some rice with a side of fajita veggies and just a little sprinkle of cheese (and just happened to have some low-sodium salsa with me, score) and thought I did pretty well but added it all up when I got home and I still clocked around 950mg of sodium :( boo.
Of course, today is St. Pats and we are going to a friend's party tonight, and she insists that I eat her corned beef and cabbage! I have to figure out a way to decline the food without hurting her feelings...
Ribbons how was that sauce?
It was GREAT! I posted the recipe in Girl-Friendly Veg Recipes thread :)Quote:

Lunch- bowl of salt free pretzels, sugar free vanilla pudding, small taco salad (lettuce, cheese, light sour cream, tabasco sauce, and 2 wheat tortilla shells crunched up), and diet caff free Mountain Dew.
Snack- peppermint tea with equal
Dinner- This I went over what I wanted to but I was really hungry..... We had tacos for dinner. I had 2 soft and 2 crunchy wheat tacos since they were lower fat and lower sodium. I filled them with reduced sodium pinto beans, white rice, light sour cream, a little shredded cheese, salsa, and veggies (1/2 a small peeled squash, green peppers, and 2 mushrooms cut up and cooked in butter). Then had 3 mini sugar free vanilla cupcakes. Bottle of water.
