2nd Day Breakfast

As I said, I won't be sharing every meal every day with you, but I had to share this. This was my breakfast this morning. It was actually pretty good; however, I expect my problem meal will be breakfast. Today the scrambled eggs were comprised of one egg and two egg whites. It was good, but it looked more than a little pale. The picture on the diet program shows very yellow eggs.

The stuff in the desert bowl is yogurt with pureed and strained berries. The menu didn't require the pureeing and straining. My diverticulitis did. It's made up of strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, and it was really good, but it was a lot of extra work. However, better to have a pain in the butt than a pain in the gut. I should embroider that on a pillow! And yes, I have temporarily given up my cappuccinos and I had pressed coffee this morning. I forgot how good it is.

This afternoon, it's a Mediterranean chicken salad, and tonight leftovers. I've decided that every other night should be leftovers. Why have all that food in the fridge that will eventually go bad. It'll also make things less stressful and less expensive. So today, while I'm waiting to get dug out of the snow, I'll be poaching chicken breasts and bottling my latest batch of Kombucha. I did get on the elliptical yesterday, but really with all this cooking who needs exercise? (yes, I know. I do, and I will).

  1. Great idea to eat the leftovers every other night. Then you won't have the massive purging of your refrigerator that you did at the onset of this project.
