Everything Eaten Yesterday

Will try that Silk Pumpkin Spice..

Tuesday Nov 11 - day (I dunno, 95?), even with when I started, at 153. (Not trying to lose weight, actually)

Sm coffee cup w lf milk x 2

Tuna salad (still have that bunch of bamboo shoots and do like them with the tuna) on 1 piece of potato bread toast

1 wedge spinach/ricotta/mozzarella/onion/anchovy torte

2 wings of baked chicken tikka

NO chocolate chip cookie!

But - some blue corn popcorn with tad of hot butter with chile pepper and curry powder and garlic granules; that was delicious but next time I'll make that olive oil and less in general.

JoeN, here's that spinach torte recipe - can be made of course with low fat cheeses, though I didn't. The recipe's easy peasy. I ended up making two tortes since I still had enough ricotta left in the container - just added more garlic, and I'd already added more spinach given that I used a big batch of fresh spinach in the first place, and the packaged pie dough comes in a set of two. So, out of that I got twelve torte wedges, wrap and freezeable. Next time I'll just double the damn recipe to start with (oh, and might even increase the anchovy ratio) - and do the onions in olive oil.

question joe....does toast and grapefruit see you through till lunchtime?

I'd be ravenous.

Some days are different than others. I think at the beginning I was pretty hungry in the mornings, but I always have my lunch packed now and know what I can look forward to, so I just calm down and wait. I don't get nearly as hungry now as I did, if I do just get crazy hungry, you'll see me post an apple or a bagel as a morning snack. I eat those verrry slowly.

Yeah, the doc will do the full LDLs, etc. for bloodwork. This was just at work so it was quick. I figure even if they're off by 10% I'm doing well. The only thing I could confirm was weight and their scale matches mine perfectly.
