Tuesday, May 25 -- Week 21, Day 3

This was another busy day. We were gone from 11:30 until 3:45 getting replacement glasses. I had planned ahead and packed lunches for everyone. The last thing we need is another excuse to spend money and eat bad food at the Food Court! I'm so glad we did. The kids even enjoyed it, because it was like a picnic.

BREAKFAST:

• 1 1/2 oz. Oatmeal Squares
• 1/2 cup apple-carrot juice

1/2 cup skim milk

Nothing remarkable here. We've seen this meal quite a few times.

LUNCH:

• Greek salad
• 3 pieces melba toast
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 2 Auntie Anne's pretzel sticks

I didn't get a picture, because I didn't bother taking the camera to the mall with me. I've posted several pictures of Greek salads before though. The pretzel sticks were a delicious treat.

DINNER:

• 3 oz. roast beef
• 4 oz. baked potato with spray butter
• 1/2 cup wax beans
• lettuce with 1 T. asiago peppercorn dressing
• 1/4 cup homemade gravy

A beef meal is always a treat! This was no exception. And a baked potato!! Mmm. Would've been great with bacon, butter, and cheese, but I was content with spray butter, and I dipped it in my gravy. Very good!

I ended the day with a slice of cantaloupe (also a new food I've come to love!) and a glass of milk. Total for the day: around 1250.

I think I've found a good middle-ground here. I'm still having plenty of variety, LOTS of fruits and veggies, trying new foods. I'll continue to use the current menu in the WW book for inspiration and see how it goes.
