Today was a good food day. I passed on the chips at Guadalajara's with no problem and the Lazy Lasagna turned out well. I made a honey-almond quick bread today for snacking, too.
Having given up the Earth Balance (and that took months to actually commit myself to that. What is it with that stuff???), I now need to get rid of some of the natural fats in my diet: walnuts, avocados, and Calamata olives. Those are better Feast Day foods than everyday foods.
I have gained a few pounds and they need to go. Health otherwise is still very good, and I attribute that to trying to incoporate as many McD principles into my diet as possible, even when I wasn't particularly following the program at atll. Fruits and veggies are powerful medicine!
I am going to take it slowly to eliminate the other fatty foods. In a few days, when the olives are gone, I will simply not buy any more. Keeping the walnuts, since they really make the oatmeal last me until lunch. We'll have to see about the avocados later!
