Day 2 ~ Monday, January 3rd

Breakfast (6AM):
coffee w/ agave nectar and almond milk
hard-boiled egg w/ salt & pepper & siracha
strawberry

Again, breakfast is easy. I'm armed with fruit, so I should be ok until lunch. But I'm worried about the late afternoon when I'm sick of fruit!

Snack 1 (830AM):
banana

After the gym, I realized I was hungry as I settled into work. Fruit can do the trick here.

Snack 2 (10AM):
nuts

Hungry after my morning meeting. Already sick of fruit - so much for until after lunch! This is exactly when I'd go for a granola bar - or a cookie if one is around. I go for the nuts, but fear I'm abusing them. About a third of the can is already gone and I just opened them yesterday! YIKES!

Snack 3 (1030AM):
soy cappuccino w/ cinnamon and splenda

I know I said I don't drink that much coffee, but I was meeting someone at the coffee place and I HATE the tea there - always too hot! I almost ordered skim before I remembered no dairy!

Lunch (1PM):
chicken tortilla soup (no tortilla)
jell-o

Definitely feeling warm and fuzzy - not in a good way! Lunch was yummy, though. We'll see how long before I'm hungry again...

Snack 4 (3PM):
grapes
crystal light

Sleepy. Need a nap...

Snack 5 (530PM):
applesauce (no sugar added)

I don't want to kill anyone on my way home. Making tilapia and quinoa salad for dinner, but TK won't be home til at least 730... Let's see if I can wait for him!

Dinner (730PM):
tilapia w/ salt, pepper, cumin, coriander & cilantro
quinoa salad with olive oil, lemon juice, parsley & cilantro
sauteed spinach w/ garlic
water w/ lemon (in a wine glass)
tea

I distracted myself with US Weekly in bed (away from the kitchen) so I didn't eat before TK came home. Dinner was SUPER yummy. I can't believe I've never been into quinoa before! I'll add some lime or pineapple or mango to the tilapia next time I make this. I'd love a piece of chocolate right now. Or a glass of Bailey's. I'll try vanilla tea instead...
