This is not a failure

Yesterday was day one of my new eating plan. And it sort of got off track, but not too badly. We started the morning with the "puffy fritatta with ham and green peppers". The plan was "greek-style lentil soup" for lunch, and whole wheat pasta with marinara-like sauce for dinner. Well, after meeting (which put me 2 hours behind when I was next scheduled to eat), we were invited out to lunch with some other members of the congregation, to K&W Cafeteria.

No problem, I thought. There, I can pick out exactly what I want for lunch, nothing that isn't okay. Plus no wait for seating, wait to order, etc.

Slight wrong there. It was about another hour and half before the people paying got there, then about 15-20 minutes through the line. So, I had breakfast at 9:30, and I was getting lunch around 3:30 or 4. But, I did good, just having tossed salad, grilled chicken, broccoli, and cheesecake for dessert. So the cheesecake might not have been the best bet, but there were no sugar-free desserts, and cheesecake does tend to have fewer carbs than regular cakes. And I just had water to drink.

And that's all I had. All day. I didn't come home and eat more, I didn't eat again later that night. So I guess it still works out, calorie-wise.

Didn't get to the gym, but I can do that today, I guess.

BZZZZZZ!!

I seem to have become a somewhat proficient smoothie-maker. So far this week, for Matt, I've made a strawberry-banana smoothie, a chocolate-peanut butter-banana smoothie, and tonight, a chocolate-strawberry-banana smoothie. I anticipated him being home soon, but he just called to say traffic's congested and it'll be half an hour before he's home. Guess I put his smoothie in the fridge or freezer until then.

Now if I can find a smoothie that DOESN'T have banana in it.
