What I ate today.....

I promise I won't bore you daily with my menu (although I've never been good at keeping a food diary, so maybe this would work....), but I'm trying to keep track of what I'm eating and how I'm feeling and making sure I'm doing this right. So, if anyone spots any mistakes in my eating, please tell me!

First....haven't really felt any different (2 whole days in, you know, expecting a miracle!) but I can tell you that I'm not feeling deprived or depressed. I'm actually having very satisfying, fulfilling meals. I have been hungry at times but this is because I'm used to grazing all day and my grazing food has been eliminated. But it's a normal hunger and not my usual "I've got to have something horrible for me right this minute" kind of craving that I'm used to. And while I got up to pee about 40 times last night (thank you, iced tea!), I never once wandered to the kitchen for a snack. Yes, I used to eat in the middle of the night because I had a gnawing hunger in my gut....of course, I usually picked something full of gluten (like club crackers) and just kept the vicious cycle going. So hopefully, that gnawing will cease (taking with it the middle of the night snacking).

Today's food: (drank iced tea all day)

Breakfast:
-cup of fresh fruit (cantaloupe, strawberries, blackberries)
-cinnamon/sugar pecans

Lunch: (seriously YUMMY!)
-leftover steak and mushrooms (sauted in olive oil with sprinkle of garlic salt)
-baked potato with butter

Snacks:
-mini bag of M&Ms
-cinnamon/sugar pecans
-Dubble Bubble gum

Supper:
-baked tilapia marinated in Dole Orange Pineapple Banana juice (don't laugh - it was good and I didn't have any lemon juice in the house!)
-cubed potatoes, roasted in olive oil with garlic salt
-corn and peas (as requested by M - yes, my 4-yr-old LOVES peas and corn!)
-broccoli

As a treat, I decided to make the Betty Crocker gluten-free brownies. I added some chocolate chips and some caramel dip (you know, for apples)....didn't have any walnuts or they would have been perfect. Even without the nuts...they were FANTASTIC!!! The only issue I had was getting them out of the pan...probably because I can no longer use my baking spray (BOO!!). Awesomely good. I've already eaten 3 (who can resist warm brownies?).
