The Beginning

To catch you up...

Saturday, November 19th:

Breakfast - 1/2 Cup of Quaker Old Fashioned Oats - Yep, the ones you have to cook.  Add a packet of Splenda, about 15-20 raisins, and a sprinkling of cinnamon and it's great!  If it doesn't taste great at first, give it some time.  Your body needs to come down off of a sugar and salt high.  It'll happen.  :-)

Snack - 1 stick of string cheese - get the light version. It's mozzarella cheese and no, it doesn't really taste like much, but it curbs hunger. (1 Frigo Cheese Heads Light String Cheese Stick)

Lunch - Honey Balsamic Chicken Healthy Choice Steaming Entree.  Add some frozen spinach if you want to get a little crazy!

Snack - 1 medium sized apple

Dinner - Slow Roasted Turkey Medallions Healthy Choice Select Entree.  One 6oz serving of very low fat or fat free plain yogurt.  Plain, not vanilla.  I like mine with some Splenda and a drop or two of vanilla.  It's also good with a sprinkling of crystal light drink mix!

Snack - Eat something under 130 calories... I like Quakes rice snacks.  There are other selections at the links posted in the left bar, but I warn you - some are very yummy and it's hard to eat a small portion.  Be careful!


Sunday, November 20th:

Breakfast - 1/2 Cup of Quaker Old Fashioned Oats with raisins, cinnamon, and Splenda

Snack - 12 Blueberries

Lunch - Roasted Chicken Verde Healthy Choice Steaming Entree with added frozen spinach

Snack - 1 Frigo Cheese Heads Reduced Fat Colby Jack Snack Sticks Cheese Stick

Dinner - Pumpkin Squash Ravioli Healthy Choice 100% Natural Meal, 1 string cheese, 1/2 apple

Snack - 1 serving of Quakes caramel crisps

In the posted links in the left bar, you'll see what items I'm buying and eating.  This is a fairly inexpensive way to eat.  In the height of my out of control eating, I can spend as much as $600-$700/month on meals I'm eating out at restaurants.  That also includes whatever I'd buy at the grocery, drive-thrus, Quickie Marts, and any other food supply store.  On this plan, I eat for under $200/month.  Healthy Choice posts great coupons which makes them easily accessible to most.
