eh, looking back over it - i could use more veggies. I need to start eating more salad with my meals... which means i need to take a trip to the grocery store
 
I really like to be the one to cook at home - it gives me the chance to count up all the calories and portion out the correct serving size... but dang! its a lot of work! making that casserole tonight, I counted every single tater tot to make sure I could add it all up right. =P

I did make a trip to the store. And I picked up some blackberries to use for salads and breakfast and some carrots to munch on. Not too exciting, but if I ate the way I wanted to, my fiance wouldn't have any dinner!!! I would kill for some grilled fish and asparagas... we're going to have to figure that one out.

well - Tuesdays are always my cheat night b/c of girls night out... I didnt' HAVE to have the cake - but it was dark chocolate instead of regular (sheepish look)... but I'm doing fantastic today. I'm planing on having some kind of snack when I get home - something under 200 calories or so - maybe yogurt or a bowl of cereal with some berries.

Thanks for checking in on me =)
 
mmm dark chocolate :D

and cake has milk, and eggs and flour -it's like breakfast in one nifty package :D

Ok i didn't even believe that :D

the occassional splurge won't kill you.. :D
 
lol =) that was great!!!

haven't figured out what I might snack on - I need to go raid the cupboard...

The really exciting news is that my fiance did this really awesome thing. I wasnt home for dinner b/c i had to work, so he saved the leftovers for me, but he put a sticky note on top that said how many calories there were in the dinner he made! It was such an awesome gesture that he was really helping me out - especially after the night before we had this whole talk about how salad had lots of calories.
