Last night was really hard. My husband said at 9pm or so that he wanted pizza or mcdonalds or something. I said ok. I was going to have some too. It turned out Pizza Hut closes at 9:30 or something, so he didn't have time to have it. We went back and forth. He didn't want to be responsible for knocking me off track. I wanted to eat a bunch of food (after talking about it, it got my motor running). We ended up leaving for mcdonalds and luckily, I managed to talk myself out of getting any. We got his food and went home. He ate it in his office and I had a bunch of diet mountain dew in my office. I was really close to losing it. *sigh* I hope this gets easier. I am glad that I have upped the calories though. Perhaps it will make it easier on evenings like that, to make the right choice.

Ok. Last night I threw in the crockpot 22.79 oz boneless skinless chicken breast tenderloins and 9.21 oz mushrooms (plus a little water, salt and pepper). This morning I added in another 6.14 oz mushrooms, 7.69 oz cream cheese, 1.80 oz green onions, 12.95 oz sour cream and 11.99 oz frozen green peas. After it was done cooking I split it into 2 portions (one for today and one for tomorrow). I then ate half of today's portion around noon and the other half around 4 or 5 pm. It was really good. I think I will make it (or something similar) in the future again. I really like using the crock pot to cook up meals like this.

The picture shows my lunch bowl after I'd already eaten quite a bit of it.

This evening I had 3 oz of tequila with 20 oz of "Master of Mixes" Lite Margarita Mixer. These were really nice. I recommend the mixer. (I drank about half the bottle, but will replace it when it is gone. Walmart carries it). I am not a normal drinker, but I went to my future sister in law's bridal shower the other day and had a couple margaritas and liked them a lot. (I used to HATE margaritas). I expect my weight will be up tomorrow from water retention.
