So, I took Zyrtec last night because my allergies have been dreadful. Woke up late, still feeling tired w/ goopy eyes w/ bags under them. Too late to go out walking the way I had planned and not feeling up to it anyway. Cleaned out some kitchen cabinets instead. Did not really feel like eating breakfast either.
Breakfast - Cooked some mushrooms and spinach and fried an egg to go with them. Ate the egg and some mushrooms and spinach, saving the rest for some other time. Had my half cup of coffee, and some water.
Green tea
Lunch - sandwich on 100 cal sandwich thin w/ butter, mustard and ham, water
Snack - about 8 almonds
Dinner - salad, Trader Joes orange chicken and fried rice w/ veggies - not a lot of either, spinach and mushrooms. blueberries and blackberries, water
Went for a short walk this evening.

So the problem with breakfast is that you have to eat food early in the morning. Ugh. I am not really into that. I prefer brunch - or a late breakfast. Often I take a sandwich to work and eat it when I get there for breakfast. Anyway, this morning I made steel cut oats and polenta and put cheese on it and had some but just was not really into it - so I am saving it for another time. I put mustard on a 40 cal. piece of bread and a piece of ham lunchmeat and I am eating that. The lunchmeat is from a grocery store deli and probably has nitrates or whatever in it - my husband bought it. Oh well. I also had my half cup of coffee and water.
Snack - a few almonds - like maybe 5 or 6
Lunch - samples at Costco - had to go again - did not know we needed cat food. Also had sugar snap peas, carrots, a plum.
water
Dinner - salad, leftover oats/polenta and veggies with cheese and a chicken leg. Water
Walked about a mile or so in the evening. It was too hot.

So, in addition to eating better, I am also exercising a bit more. Last night, while my daughter and her friend were swimming in the neighborhood pool, I walked around the park surrounding the pool several times. This morning I went out for a 15 min. walk in the neighborhood, although at 7:45 it was already getting rather hot.
Breakfast - my normal 1/2 cup of coffee with half and half and vanilla stevia
I heated up the leftover steel cut oatmeal/polenta and some leftover veggies in some olive oil in a fry pan and also fried an over easy egg and had that for breakfast.
Snack - cherries
Lunch - a "sandwich" - a couple of slices of cheese toasted on a 100 calorie Oroweat Sandwich thin and Tomatoes with Cucumbers and yogurt - recipe from the AMA Healthy Heart Cookbook. It was ok - I substituted chives for the green onions and only made half a recipe and ate about half of that. Instead of low-fat plain yogurt, I used goat milk yogurt.
Here is the cookbook
and my salad - Everything but the yogurt is from my garden
before - and after
For dinner, I had a salad with greens and the rest of the above cucumber/tomato salad, the meat from one cooked chicken leg, blue and black berries, oil and vinegar, and sunflower seeds.
I also had another cheese sandwich on the 100 calorie sandwich thin.

Breakfast - 1/2 cup of coffee with half and half and vanilla stevia, hot dog- coleman's natural all beef no nitrates - on a slice of 40 cal bread w/ mustard
green tea
Lunch - A wonderful woman at work brought in lunch from Pollo Tropical http://pollotropical.com/ - I have never been there before - the food is totally fabulous! I will be taking my family there. I only ate a little bit of each thing though. I had some chicken - the spices on it are great, a little brown rice, a little bit of the yellow rice with vegetables - yum, some black beans, corn, tomato and a little sauce - I think it was the curry mustard one - so yummy! I really did only have a little of each. After work I went to Costco and tried a few samples.
Dinner - by this time I was starving and had a bit of a headache.
I made Balsamic Veggie Bake from the "Budget Friendly Fresh and Local Diabetes Cookbook" - except I changed the recipe some, which I usually do. It called for purple onions, which I did not have, so I used part of a yellow onion from my garden. It also called for eggplant, which I do not like at all, so I left that out and put in mushrooms instead and an extra sweet potato and I did not have zucchini, so I used a yellow squash.
I also had a little bit of leftover veggies from yesterday and a few leftover gnocci and a bit of leftover salmon and some salad, blueberries, blackberries and strawberries - extra virgin olive oil (or EVOO as people call it who want to seem fancy) and balsamic vinegar on the salad.
