So, the whole daily journal thing kind of went out the window this week. I started a new job on Tuesday. Even though I'm only working part time, this is the first time in a while that I've had to keep a regular schedule (and be awake before 10 a.m...way before 10 a.m, actually). Although I had a day off on Wednesday, I didn't feel like doing anything except watch the Mad Man season 1 disk 2 dvd and other movies/shows on Netflix watch instantly. Let me give you highlights from the last few days:
Tuesday - snack day at work and fried chicken dinner at a volunteer banquet
Wednesday - grilled cheese and turkey sandwich, popcorn
Thursday - chicken, mirepoix and light gravy/broth over crash-hot potato (my new obsession), lots of coffee
Friday - Hutch High football game, small peppermint mocha at Metro Coffee afterwards (complete with whole milk and whipped cream)
Saturday - work at 7:00 a.m., crazy busy, more chicken & potato, more coffee
Today:
Breakfast (10:30 a.m.)
2 eggs, over medium
5 slices bacon
8 oz smoothie (1/2 c frozen peaches, 1/2 c lowfat plain yogurt, 3 oz skim milk)
I plan to make a white bean and chicken soup in a bit for dinner and food for this week.
This week I lost 2.8 pounds for a total of 17 pounds lost in the past 13 weeks.

Day 8
Today woke up at 9:00 a.m., then spent an hour and a half in bed thinking (mostly about how to respond when confronted by Fred Phelps) and reading Women's Health magazine. Then I showered. Then I checked e-mail, checked facebook, texted my friend Jon, and checked the mail. Finally I got around to cooking what I shall refer to as "brunch"...
Brunch (11:15 a.m.):
2 slices bacon
1 omlette
1.5 tablespoons bacon grease
1 cup raw spinach leaves
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons grated cheddar cheese
2 c. coffee w/ 2 tablespoons f.f. hazlenut creamer
Have I mentioned that I'm not really a morning person? Oh, you're still hung up on the bacon grease? Well, bacon grease and all, this was about a 460 calorie breakfast. I didn't add bacon grease, I just used what was left after frying the bacon to sautee the spinach and eggs. Don't judge me.
Lunch (2:00 p.m.):
2.5 c. cooked white rice w/ 1/3 teaspoon olive oil
5 oz roast beef
1 c. gravy (with few mushrooms and onions)
1.5 c. raw spinach
Cut beef into bite size pieces, toss into skillet on medium heat. Add leftover gravy, and a bit of water. Stir to incorporate. Let beef heat through until tender. At last minute, add spinach, let wilt. Serve over rice. Voila, lunch.
Dinner (7:30 p.m.):
2 small potatoes cooked "crash hot" style (see post from yesterday)
4 oz roast beef
1 c. gravy
1 cup Minute Maid pomegranate-blueberry juice
