Hey Guys! Thanks for posting. A lot of the meals sound super yummy! I thought it would be a fun idea to do this because I am getting so bored with the same old, same old foods. Here is an update for what I had today
Breakfast
Strawberries
Vanilla Yogurt
Granola
Snack
4crackers with peanut butter
Grande Ice Coffee with 2% milk
Lunch
Salad with Bread Stick.
Dinner
Rice (maybe too much) with Tofu and Veggies
Proudest Eating Moment of the Day
No snacking from the communal candy bowl
Not eating after 8pm
Improvements
Went a little bit overboard on the rice at dinner time. Probably had a cup versus half a cup.
Tomorrow I am going to keep track of water as well as times that I ate. I read that you shouldn't go more than three hours without eating to keep your metabolism at a constant. I also read that you should drink at least 1/2 of your weigh in water (in ounces).
P.S. Brownie Dessert Hummus??? More info please, sounds interesting : ) Thanks.

The same recipe for the chocolate one is posted somewhere else and the stats have it at about 38 calories per tablespoon... win? I think so... I'm trying this asap
Haley, that's the one I made! The chocolate brownie one, I mean. I did only use 2 tbsp of agave and then sweetened it to taste with splenda to cut the sugar down. It's delicious, healthy, but verry addicting!
Breakfast
1 slice TJ turkey bacon and one egg white with spinach on a slice of Ezekiel bread
Black coffee
Snack
1 orange
Water
Lunch
1 cup of chicken curry cauliflower soup
Water
Snack
Baby carrots with hummus
Water
Dinner
My daughter and I made hummus, so it was a bit of snacking on that
Spinach salad with chicken, gorgonzola, craisins, and cashews with champagne vinaigrette
Water
Snack
1 cup of olive oil popcorn
Proudest Eating Moment of the Day
Nothing particularly stood out to me.
Improvements
Worked late, missed my gym time knowing today and tomorrow are impossible. Looks like my toddler free weekend will be spent at the gym!
What did you eat today?
