Jyn's Egg Salad

Well, i found a great way to make a yummy meal that keeps to the diet.

JYNS SBD EGG SALAD

Boiled eggs
handful Bean Sprouts
Mayonaise
mustard
salt and pepper
cottage cheese (nonfat)
shredded lowfat Cheddar Cheese
1/2 a Celery stalk cut in half lengthwise and then chopped
A few rings of onion thinly cliced and chopped (about 1/4 a cup)


I usually make this with about 1-2 tablespoons of mayo, the Cottage cheese helps it go farther. Mix it all up and if all the vedgies equal a 1/2 cup then I can eat the whole thing. Otherwise I portion it out to last throughout the day. VERY yummy. My recent fav.

Day 4: Heinous Hormones

Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 peices of Turkey bacon, decaf coffee with splenda
Lunch: Special egg salad, pop
Dinner: Er... um... nothing? :-O

Ive been irritable today. Lots of web work to do- websites to troubleshoot,I havent had time to eat and I had to go get a cake for my daughter's birthday tomorrow. FUN FUN FUN!
Actually, I have found that the worst time for cravings for me- is when I am alone and searching for food, not when Im around a lot of it.

I have been very good, no licking of the icing, no 'just a little taste's... although I have no clue how much I weight which bugs the poop out of me. Really helped last time.

DAY 1: OFFICIAL Start of my SBD

Well, I have been thinking about this a lot, and I feel it's time to start my diet. Today is day 1 of my diet and so far, i have been a complete Idiot. One thing you will find in changing a habit, is exactly how habitual your day normally is.

I wasted 2 perfectly good cups of decaf Folgers coffee by routinely pouring sugar in it. TWO cups! I caught myself with the first one, dumped it out- proceeded to make another cup only to DO THE SAME EXACT THING!

Shhh, dont tell- it's just between you and me *wink*.

So, Anyway, 3rd time's the charm I guess. So here I am drinking Decaf coffee with Splenda. I have to get used to it if I'm going to fit anything worth fitting with figure.

I will be posting my daily meals and, as soon as I get a new battery for my scale, my weight for the day .

BREAKFAST: 2 Eggs, 2 peices of lowfat turkey lunchmeat slices with 3 onion rings chopped, dill, 1/4 cup of brocoli, and skim milk cheese 2 peices of turkey bacon
DRINK: decaf coffee with spenda sweetener, water

LUNCH: egg salad made of 4 hardboiled eggs, 1 tbl of mayo, 1 tbl of artificially sweetened relish, salt pepper
DRINK: Diet pop

SNACK: 1 skim milk string cheese stick, diet pop

DINNER: Sweadish meatballs without the noodles or sauce. (OH was this yum)

I havent been able to weight myself because, well, my scale's battery is dead. Hey, I got it 4 years ago, it's about time I guess. So, I am going to go get another battery and then I can post my weight. OH! And BTW- my husband is joining me in this diet, so once we get his blog up- I will list the link.
