Monday, June 14 -- Week 24, Day 2

Today was another good day. We are keeping so busy so far this summer! I like taking the kids swimming, but I'm going to have to cut back on other running around if we're going to keep doing that. I'm exhausted.

Breakfast:

• 1 slice cantaloupe
• 1 egg, over-easy
• 1 slice homemade wheat toast
• 1 tsp. reduced-calorie margarine
• 1/2 cup skim milk

Lunch (swimming and picnic at the park):

• 2 oz deli ham
• 3 slices tomato
• 1 tsp. light mayonnaise
• 2 oz. deli ham
• 1/2 cup homemade applesauce
• 1/2 of one of the kids' PBJs that was going to be wasted

Dinner:

• 3 oz cod coated in cornmeal, salt, and pepper and cooked in a little olive oil
• 1/2 cup white rice (we're out of brown - need to find a bulk source)
• 1/2 cup wax beans
• 1/2 cup zucchini-tomato mixture
• romaine lettuce with creamy caesar dressing
• 1/2 cup skim milk

The fish was ok. I think I've mentioned before that fish is far from my favorite food. I just mixed my zucchini/tomatoes, rice, and fish together. That was very helpful. Fish and rice isn't a very filling meal though...

For snacks today, I had 1 1/2 graham crackers, 1 small piece of pizza that was just laying there, and a slice of cantaloupe. I came in at 1445, a little high for this particular diet, but still well within a healthy range. I also swam about 200 yards today, which was good for just under 200 calories.

Tomorrow we'll be home for all of our meals. That's always nice :-)
