Day 4 in the evening

So I planned ahead and packed my lunch and snacks in advance last night...... but never really read over the diet in full detail over the weekend.

I packed turkey deli meat, and orange, and an apple for work.  (I wasn't supposed to have turkey- only chicken)  But, I felt it was a healthy choice, so I went ahead and ate 100 calories of turkey meat, and the orange for snack.  Drank 4 big glasses of ice water (16 oz. each)

I was starving when I took the kids to DQ after gymnastics class, so I ordered a lite smoothie.  I got my strawberries in that way- and all for 150 calories.  I didn't feel deprived while the kids got cones.

We went to The Natural Pantry to pick up a few sauces, noodles, and miracle rice and miracle noodles which I am afraid to try.  (They look weird, have no flavor I hear- and are quite pricey @ $2.49 for a single portion)

Headed home to the pork steak, wild rice, and baked carrots that I had pre-made earlier today.  None of this was on the list of pre-approved foods- but I needed to each the food up, and I cooked it with no oils or added salt.  Not the best way to start off on my diet, but a healthier way to eat.  I could see myself making this meal once a month for the kids and I.

I also had TK make angel hair pasta with crab legs.  I took a few bites, and I would eat that for a meal in the future if I had to.  The pasta is not on my list of approved foods, so I will let the kids eat that for dinner tomorrow.

All in all- I drank a lot of water today, thought about foods that I can't eat about a thousand times today, and really started planning for my future when it comes to healthy meals for my family.  I didn't starve to death.... but should have eaten by 6pm and eaten an apple for an afternoon snack- so I don't get another lite smoothie.  I want to be more strict and follow the diet to the letter to see what results I can achieve.

Thanks for following me on my journey.
