Day 4 - May 7, 2013

No weigh-in today.

Today was a crazy day.  My son (now 2) has a tooth coming in (I think).  Anyway he didn't sleep much last night, keeping mommy and daddy up.  I woke up late to the sound of him calling out.  I had to rush to feed and dress him and myself, then get out of the house.  Consequently, no time for weighing in.  Breakfast turned out OK. Lunch sucked. I did not enjoy Wendy's new Strawberry Fields Salad.  I should have gone with the Apple Pecan Chicken Salad, but I didn't.  The flavors (of what little there was) didn't meld well.

For dinner I made a broccoli cheese soup from Emiril.  Because I had leeks in the fridge, I made the salad with leeks instead of onion.  Not bad. I used an immersion blender. I would use the food processor, if I had to do it again, to eviscerate the broccoli a bit better.  Lots of butter in this soup (5 Tbsp for 4 servings).  I bought cantaloupe a week ago, I don't think they're quite in season yet.

Hopefully, tomorrow is less hectic.

Thoughts: I should make some hummus this week.  I have a bag of chick peas (garbanzos) in the cupboard. They would go well with some baby carrots. I forgot to mention earlier that the chicken salad made a hasty exit through my digestive system not long after I ate it.  Another reason lunch sucked.


Breakfast:
2 egg omelet with spinach and diced onion and shredded cheddar
16 oz water

Lunch:
Wendy's Strawberry Fields Salad with Chicken w/ Apple Vinegar dressing
16 oz water

Dinner:
1.5 Cups Broccoli and Cheese Soup (recipe from Food Network)
16 oz. water

1 banana
1/4 Cantaloupe


we'll see what the scales says tomorrow ...
