Day #5

Breakfast 10:30am
The usual, except I ran out of strawberries so I had a cup of red grapes

Lunch 1:30pm
Small Blimpie veggie sandwich on whole wheat with mustard and a little mayo

I hate mayo, but on this sandwich it tastes so delightful

Stress Drink 4pm
1/2 cup of eggnog

I admittedly drank this because I needed a mood boost. Not a good idea...but it was sooooo good. I drank it slowly and enjoyed every sip.

Snack 5pm
1 serving pretzels with almond butter

Dinner 6:30pm
Salmon in dill sauce
Rice and beans
Greenbeans
2 scoops of Breyers vanilla icecream topped with organic chocolate sauce and ground almonds

Ok, so I had official dessert today. I'm telling you, I was putting this icecream in the glass and I felt like crying with joy. I mean I got so excited for this thing it was like I was about to indulge in the most exquisite food known to man. I felt tingles throughout my entire body as I ate it. My smile stretched from ear to ear. Was it a nutritious, calorie dense food? Heck no. Yet I'm so proud of myself because that icecream has been in the fridge all week long and normally I'd be dipping my spoon in it all day, every day. Yes, this food journal is good.

So today I forgot to take my vitamin. I had moderate water intake and walked around the mall for a few hours with my mother-in-law. I passed right by the dude handing out free smoothie samples :) lol The fact that I'm proud of that after eating everything I did today makes me laugh - but I am proud nonetheless.
