Hey Shawna,

Glad you asked.....

Oh, I just had the most WONDERFUL dinner....at home, no less! I love summertime; all the fresh fruits and veggies. For dinner I had london broil on the grill, and grilled corn on the cob, asparagus, onion, and steamed green beans, and a cool marinated cucumber/onion/pepper salad and some sliced fresh tomato. The veggies, except asparagus, were all out of my garden and still warm from the sun! And the london broil, well a dear friend has a farm and it was one of his cows! I made fresh strawberry ice-cream (yup, our strawberries), but I was too STUFFED to eat it. And the best part, the whole meal still came in low cal and low fat! As I said.....oh I LOVE summertime!!

Breakfast was ricotta blintzes with fresh raspberries (yup, homegrown) and two strips of applewood bacon (thanks to my buddy's farm again), and for lunch (which was light today) I had a baked sweet potato with mango-papaya salsa, and a little later...some fresh cantelope with a bit of chopped mint.

I haven't done the calculations, but it's safe to say today was under 1,500 calories (or right around there) and very low fat. What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful summer's day!

Let's see...I'll do calculations while I'm sitting here, widdling away the evening: breakfast was 360 calories, lunch was 210 (counting the later cantelope), dinner was 410 calories....gosh, that's w-way-wway under: It's 980 calories (I'm thinking that's gotta be wrong....I'll re-do it later)....I should probably try to eat the ice-cream and toss some strawberries on top, sometime before bed!! Anyway, it was a GREAT day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!food-wise, and otherwise too.

One happy, forte

Cantaloupe sucks more than any other food has ever sucked before.

Wow...I love canteloupe. Pureed in a cold soup or with some low fat cottage cheese or yogurt.

Bfast - special K, with skim milk and an orange

Lunch - mixed salad with grilled chicken and low fat dressing

Snack - some almonds

Dinner - Marinated grilled veges (red pepper, onion, yellow squash, zucchini) over some reduced carb pasta, a bit of parm cheese, some grilled flank steak

Dessert - sugar free jello

Snack - yummy ripe nectarine

Why do you say that? Personally, I love the taste of fresh picked cantelope especially as an appetizer with a little procuitto and fresh mint wrapped around it. And nutritionally speaking, it's very good for you. What *don't* you like about the taste of cantelope?

Now you gave me a GREAT idea for what to do with the leftover steak, for dinner tonight. Thanks!

I just don't like it. Just like I don't like some people. I don't think I want to or should have to explain myself.

PS: Proscuitto is a highly processed meat product and full of fat. I wouldn't touch that stuff with someone else's 10 foot pole either.

Today I felt kinda poopy, but when I got up I had a lo carb wrap with Romaine, red & yellow pepper slices, oil & balsamic vinegar, and about six ounces of some seriously YUMMY chicken I made the day before - Boneless/skinless cut into chunks, dipped in italian breadcrumbs with Lemon Pepper seasoning tossed in, and pan-sauteed in olive oil.

So I had the wrap, later had some baked leftover ham, and when I got up for work had a big glass of low sugar/low carb OJ, and a salad with more ham chunks.

Most days I have my yogurt with almonds, but it was just gagging me thinking about it today for some reason.

Actually, I really feel like hell now that I think about it.

Blech.
