Since school got I have been running around like a crazy person. Don’t get me wrong, it is all good and all fun but a bit too much of a good thing. I managed to have an apple and low-fat cow cheese at 2:15PM while working on a shopping list for camping with a friend […]
Day Twelve – Getting Out of Hand Read More »
Today was the first Monday of summer vacation. Usually the children are in school on Mondays and I have an opportunity to recover from the weekend. Today it was “game on”. I was balancing a work meeting, my husband being out of town and activities for the children scheduled at four different times during the
Day Eleven – Rolling Salad Dressing Read More »
Today was a busy, busy day but I did manage to sit down for a few minutes to tuna salad on a bed of arugula from our garden. It was OK but eaten on the run, in the middle of chaos and was not very satisfying.

Yeeesh another busy day to end a busy weekend. We went strawberry picking this morning and then did a ton of errands. We finally had lunch at 1:40PM at Applebees. My children had yummy looking grilled cheese sandwiches, fries and apple slices but I choose the more virtuous Southwestern Chicken Salad with no dressing and

Today is the last day of school for my children. They got out early and were home by 9:45AM. We hosted a neighborhood party to celebrate. I did a good job of only drinking diet coke and coffee and ate a handful of nut. After the party was over I sat down and had a

On day seven (which was yesterday) I had a business meeting where lunch was provided. I have been doing South Beach so I did not want to eat any carbs but the lunch that was provided was a chicken wrap and potato chips. I was not sure what to do. There were no utensils so
Day Seven – Social Tortilla Read More »
I played tennis this morning and was famished by 11AM so I ducked into McDonalds for a Southwestern Chicken salad. I read in Comsumer Reports that this is a healthy option especially if you omit the dressing. So that’s what I choose. I would have rather had a Big Mac and fries but opted instead
Day Six – Micky Dees Read More »
Today was a little weird. Even though I ate breakfast I was hungry again at 10AM so I decided to try having an early lunch. I figured I could have a bigger afternoon snack. I felt so civilized. I had a lovely Greek salad and an iced tea. I ate it sitting down while having
Day Five – More than one Read More »
Today sucked. I ended up being busier than I had anticipated, wasted time, didn’t get much done and hardly ate. By 7PM I had eaten mixed nuts, cashews and sugar snap peas and chased it all down with coffee and diet Coke. Since I ate the peas closest to lunch time that is what I
Day Four – A Disaster Read More »
All I could muster today was left over greens from yesterday’s pizza extravaganza and some egg salad piled on top. I think the tomatoes were kind of off and the sliced baby carrots rolled pathetically around the plate as I ate it while walking around the kitchen. I finally realized what I was doing and
