Friday, May 21 -- Week 20, Day 6

Friday was a good day! I enjoyed all my food. I'm not sure on a final calorie count, but I think it was around 1100.

BREAKFAST:

• 3/4 oz oatmeal squares
• 1 cup skim milk
• 1/4 cup apple juice

This was unremarkable. I really like this cereal. I absent-mindedly put my milk ON it one day and found that I MUCH prefer eating it dry. Mmm-mmm.

LUNCH:

• salad with 3 oz deli meat and 2 T. lite 3-cheese ranch dressing
• 1 orange
• 1/2 cup green beans

My salad was delicious. It was lettuce, cucumber, carrots, ham, and dressing. Very large. Very good. The green beans were green beans. The orange tasted funny - a little bitter, so I didn't eat it. The last one I had was better than that, so I think this one was just old. I got some fresh ones today.

DINNER:

• beef shish kebabs
• salad
• sugar-free vanilla pudding

Shish kebabs ready to grill. You can tell whose was whose by what's on it. Top has beef, potatoes, mushrooms, carrots, green peppers, and onions. That was Mark's. Next one was mine. All of the above minus mushrooms. Bottom two were for the kids to split. Just meat, potatoes, and carrots.

This was the leftover stuff thrown into a grill basket. Good thing. One shish kebab does NOT feed a person.


Here they are cooked. They were yummy! I steamed the carrots and the potatoes in Ziploc steam bags until they were not-quite done. I will do them a little less next time, because they kind of burned on the grill until the meat was done. On the other hand, the onions and peppers were still mostly raw. Not sure how to fix that. How do you par-cook peppers and onions??

After soccer practice, I still had a snack of 3 oz. of frozen yogurt and 2 graham crackers left. I chose to translate that into frozen yogurt on a cone, so we went to the ice cream house. Very good treat, well within my calorie goal for the day. Good meals today!
