In exactly a month I am going to Argentina so I started a diet today. I was running pretty low on food so I thought today was the perfect day to get healthy food. Eventhought I wanted to get all kinds of chocolatly stuff, I didnt. Maybe that's why, for the first time ever, I felt like I got a lot of food for the money. I got a lot of ready to go things, that way I'll want to eat them because there's not much I have to do...That's what I love about the United States of America...it has everything for a lazy woman like me to cook decent meals without having to do too much. My cooking involves opening cans and putting things in the microwave...and in this country, there's so much variety of frozen stuff, sliced stuff, ready to eat stuff...It's wonderful!!!!
When I got back I put everything away and I folded all the walmart bags...re organized the fridge (not that there was much in there)...and folded and put away all the laundry and unloaded the dishwasher...
First meal was lean hot pockets (yes, not very good but I was on a rush), and for dessert my light version of strawberry shortcake (the only change is that instead of whipped cream I mix light sour cream w sweetener or even sugar is healthier). I wasnt going to but I took a well deserved nap!!!
We made a berry shake and for dinner chicken patty sadwiches which is not the healthiest but I made them in multigrain very thin breads (I dont know what those are called), tomatoes, fiesta blend cheese and lettuce served w raw snowpeas on the side...yummy!!!
This is my biggest concern about dieting: kids left overs....I am like a vacuum...getting everything that everyone leave so as not to throw away food. Because people are dying of hunger but NOT ME!!! Luckily the girls ate most of their sadwiches today. Although, I dont think they understand the concept of sandwich...the took it all apart and ate it...Oh well, as long as they eat it...I guess we wont be attending the royal wedding then...
