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.

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... YUM

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...
