Welcome Tanis and Alexis.....
B: missed it again...I was doing well....I brought yogurt to school and never got to it
L: skim milk and honey bunches of oats cereal, water
S: dark chocolate multigrain granola bar
D: Burritos w/ 1/2 beef and 1/2 pork and lime/corn and bean salsa, shredded cheese and small amount of light sour cream, water w/crystal light
dessert possibly later ... angel food cake, light cool whip and cherries...I bought my husband strawberries because he loves strawberry shortcake but I am weird (as my family tells me) because I don't like strawberries. I don't know why...possibly texture and seeds? I tried recently thinking that I'm an adult now and I like pretty much everything now that I hated when I was a kid....nope, still don't like them.

haha cathy--my boyfriend likes strawberry flavored things but hates actual strawberries as well--weirdos
haha just kidding!!!

so heres an update of how i did today:
Breakfast lunch and my snack of a yogurt stayed the same-
then i opened a package of chocolate graham crackers and kept them by me all day so i almost ate the entire package so that was bad.

then for dinner had the chicken parm and like a third of the pasta i usually eat so thats a small win for me!

and thats it--hopefully i'll get to do this again tomorrow--i have no idea what i'm going to eat yet!
