None, because it was the first day of school and I was on my feet literally all day. By the time I got home, the balls of my feet were swollen and my lower back was tight.
Okay, like a divvy I posted yesterday's stuff in the wrong thread!
synger: Those zucchini pancakes sound interesting. How do you make them? Jennelle: I see you haven't succumbed to a McD's breakfast yet! Jill: Hope the dentist isn't too traumatic for you.
And where is Alpha Laura? Hmm?

Survived the dentist, but the left side of my face is sore (filling between 2 molars needed to be replaced, so there were metal clamps and cranks invilved to separate the teeth for drilling), so the scrambled eggs were nice and soft for breakfast today
Today:
scrambled eggs and 2 sausage patties
fruit (strawberries, peaches, grapes, and pineapple)
ham salad (ham, ff mayo, relish, mustard) and pineapple
We've had a surfeit of zucchini from our garden, and the zucchini pancakes are the only way Hunter will eat them so far (I'm thinking of trying a scalloped zucchini recipe, or maybe a zucchini souffle, to see if he'll like those, too). Here's a recipe. I use the one from Joy of Cooking, but it's very similar. I don't always use feta cheese. Sometimes just cottage cheese. Sometimes no cheese at all. Just make sure to do the salting/squeezing bit or the batter gets really wet.
Anyway, the last two days we've been travelling and on vacation, so my calories were way high. Still tried to get my five servings of veggies/fruits, and to focus around protein, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
MONDAY
Breakfast:
raw peach
egg mcmuffin
hash browns
coffee w/ cream and sugar
Lunch:
Afternoon snack to keep the Beast at bay:
peanuts (from vending machine)

1/2 slice of buttermilk pie w/blackberry sauce

Thanks for the recipe, Synger. They sound 'lish.
Hope your mouth stops hurting soon, Jill.
I'm really just popping in to 'fess up and slink out again because I went back to my old habit of eating away emotions today. I had the plumber in and that sent my anxiety through the roof because I can't bear strangers in the house. So, I spent much of the afternoon scrubbing and disinfecting and eating ribs, stuffed potato, and onion rings. And all that after I'd had my breakfast and lunch. No exercise and barely any water, just lots of coffee and diet pop.
I'm trying not to beat myself up too much, but treating myself with kindness is still quite new to me, and frankly, I feel pretty disgusted with my lack of control.
I have to find a way to make myself more positive for tomorrow. Right now I'm talking the talk to myself. We'll see if that works....
Ali: (((HUGS)))Don't beat yourself up for one bad day! It's over now, you've caught on that you were using food to "eat away emotions" and that is a big, big step twards eliminating that compulsion!
Really, just look how far you've come! 39 lbs GONE, 17 of those just since June 14! Only 9 lbs away from ONEDERLAND! (Frankly, I'm a bit jealous there!) Plus you're more than 1/3 of the way to your WATP target for August! Obviously you are doing things right 99% of the time, so don't let this one measly day get to you; you're on a roll! (((more HUGS)))
