Day 57: The First Day of Yardwork 2010

It was the first truly warm day of the year. Also the first day in recent memory that the kids and I spent more time outside than in. I think all of my physical labor brought on all the afternoon snacking.

• 1 bowl Honey Bunches of Oats w/ Strawberries in 1% milk (breakfast)
• 1 bottle of water (during particularly great run)
• 2 pieces leftover focaccia, water
• 1 breast of chicken parmesan, 2 mini chocolate bran muffins, water, milk (lunch)
• 1 serving Pocky, water
  
• 2 pretzel rods, water
• 1/4 each green bell and yellow bell pepper, ranch dressing, water
  
• 2 chicken enchiladas, white rice, water (dinner)
• 1 banana w/ 1 T peanut butter and 2 T wheat germ, milk. YUM! Fantastic sub for dessert.
  

Day 56: March Fast Sunday

We amended one of our diet rules. We are now allowing an extra dessert day -- on Fast Sunday. And my, how welcome this change was!

• 1.5 chocolate chip Rice Krispies treats (moments before dinner I broke my fast on this)
  
• chicken parmesan (1/2 breast), whole wheat pasta w/ marinara, chopped spinach, 2 pieces rosemary & sea salt focaccia, water (dinner)
  
• another Rice Krispies treat w/ small glass of milk
  

Day 55: Stake Youth Activity

• 1 bowl corn flakes w/ 1/2 sliced banana (breakfast)
  
• 1 apple, 1 banana, water
• 1 hot dog & 1 hamburger (both w/ sauerkraut, mustard, ketchup), tiny bag of Cheetos, bottle of water (lunch at the Stake)
• yet another banana, small handful of dried mango
• broiled salmon, quinoa, edamame, water (dinner)
• chocolate bran muffin, small glass of 1% milk
  

This is not what I ate today, but I still thought I'd share.

My big (but very petite) sister, Melissa, started a food log blog, too! Very exciting to me. Check her out here.
