New Year: More Joy Day 3

Day 3 (I kept this on paper and am typing it up)

Date: 1/16/13

Weight: 177.2 

Physical feelings: Well rested since the girls had a snow day and I got to sleep until almost 8:00! I'm not as hungry all the time as I thought I would be, but this abrupt change to my diet has made my stomach a little off...bowel-wise. I don't feel sick, I just I feel gas bubbles moving around in there during the day, and...well, that's enough to understand!

Emotional Feelings: Still positive and optimistic. 

Breakfast: 

NS pancakes. **** I added about 5 frozen blueberries. I made the girls pancakes since they were home and so I decided to make mine also. So far these breakfasts have been good.

Coffee w/ sugar free creamer

PowerFuel: Skim milk

Morning Snack:

PowerFuel: Slimfast vanilla protein shake. 

Lunch

NS Homestyle Chicken **** This was another of the canned meals. It was thick and had a good flavor.

PowerFuel: Peanut Butter on a slice of whole grain bread. I used up my afternoon Smartcarb for this because I was hungry. Also ate a plate full of carrots. 

Afternoon Snack

SmartCarb: Skipped since I used it at lunch. Wasn't too hard to do since I was at the paint store and grocery store. 

Dinner

NS Chicken Pasta Parmesan  *** This was a sealed ready to eat dinner that had a good flavor, and the chicken was not that weird texture that I was afraid of. Not bad. Shane and the girls ate at church, so I didn't have to cook for them.

SmartCarb: 2 mandarin oranges. I actually didn't eat these until after dessert later in the evening.

Dessert

NS Double Chocolate Almond Cookie **** I warmed this up. It was a really dense texture, but I appreciated the normal tasting chocolate. Less like a Tootsie Roll.

End of the day thought: I have really liked planning my meals to be similar to what I make for the rest of the family. I thought this would be the hardest thing with NS, but so far it hasn't been that big of a deal AS LONG AS I have planned ahead.
