wednesday, october 5th

still plugging away at the SB diet. still resisting chocolate. perhaps the fact that we are going to charleston this weekend, and i know all bets will be off, food-wise, is keeping me more on track than usual this week. i AM getting a bit tired of cooking every meal, as i always do. it would be fine if it weren't for this pesky job taking up so much of my time... :)

food log for 10/05/05:

• breakfast: two eggs scrambled with thyme, two pieces of canadian bacon, half a juice glass of LS V8, and a cup of tea (just like the day before)
• lunch: leftover mediterranean chicken stew and a few almonds
• dinner: faux chicken fajitas^* and spicy black beans with pico de gallo--i was going to make some guacamole to go with this, but my avacados were ROCK HARD--ugh! this is one of the hippie's favorite SB dinners--i keep forgetting beans are OK--i should cook more of those. maybe next week i will make some roasted pork loin with some great northern beans made with onions and chicken broth and sundried tomatoes...hmmm...
• snacks/other: totally forgot my morning snack, afternoon snack was a slice of herbed turkey rolled up with a slice of jarlsberg cheese (low-fat of course)
• desserts/sweets: had an extra cup of tea in the afternoon--i think this counts since it has about 3/4 of a teaspoon of sugar in it

activities: working late, laundry, making dinner, washing dishes, more laundry, and knitting. not a lot of calorie-burning in ther, but man did it make me tired. does bleeding count as an activity?

*consists of chiken breast cut into strips, marinated in lime juice and chili-infused avacado oil, sauteed in a hot hot pan with onion, red pepper, and yellow pepper till the onions start to caramelize--i'll write up a real recipe for this next time i make it
