Anyone up for a wedding at Cana?

Nothing terribly exciting to report today. Tomorrow's post will be interesting, though. More on that after a quick recap. First, here is what I ate yesterday:

Breakfast Tried a new spin on my boring old oatmeal. First I boiled water, added frozen blueberries, brought back to boil, then added the oatmeal. Topped it with some allspice and strawberries. This was better than the previous day's attempt but still needs improvement. Also decided to forego the eggs for this meal and I was still very satisfied til lunch time.

Lunch I sauteed a little white onion and garlic with EVOO (it stands for extra virgin olive oil...I'm not yelling at you in a strange language), then to the pan I added an egg and 2 egg whites (scrambled but no milk or water added). I wrapped the cooked eggs in a Flatout brand flat bread with flax seed (say that 5 times fast). Also, a little of the leftover carrot salad from Day 1.

Dinner I went all fancy-pants! What I ate was 1/4 of a chicken breast, which was breaded and lightly fried, then baked. Arugula, avocado and raspberry salad with red wine vinaigrette (red wine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and a touch of sugar), and a shallot and mushroom quinoa. Wanted wine, drank water.
After-dinner snack Had some yummy stove-popped popcorn with a little bit of flavored olive oil. Really light and delicious snack, and perfect for low-cal movie-watching!
Late-night snack I got home a little later than usual seeing as it was my night off from mommy duty. But missing my little guy, I had a snack which embodied my maternal instincts: one single graham cracker.

I went over on my allotted calories by about 50 (i.e. one single graham cracker), but still weighed in this morning at half a pound less than yesterday morning. Tomorrow's post will go into detail about what I have eaten today. But to give you a hint, I started training for a new job at a restaurant. Tasting the food is a legitimate part of the training experience. I swore I'd only have one bite of each item but I might have had 3 or 4 bites of a certain cream-cheese-filled-then-deep-fried-vegetable-with-a-side-of-creamy-horseradish-sauce. Anyway, I felt sort of disgusting until several hours later. Luckily tomorrow's training meal will consist of soups and salads. And I will guard myself with a noon snack so I'm not starving by the time we eat!

I'm toying with the idea of switching to tea in the morning, since I require cream in my coffee and that typically costs me between 40 and 80 calories. But I don't think I'm quite ready. Besides,

Truth, not excuses :)
